Stressors associated with climate change, and contaminants resulting from the activities of humans, are affecting organisms and ecosystems worldwide. Until recently, the impacts of these stressors on marine ecosystems have largely been examined in isolation.
Stressors associated with climate change, and contaminants resulting from the activities of humans, are affecting organisms and ecosystems worldwide. Until recently, the impacts of these stressors on marine ecosystems have largely been examined in isolation. However, with predicted climate change…
Stressors associated with global climate change and local human activities are affecting marine organisms worldwide. Stressors include changes in temperature, salinity and acidification, in addition to contaminants including metals and hydrocarbons.
Understanding the sensitivity of Antarctic organisms to metal exposure is essential … for developing Antarctic specific Environmental Guidelines to manage contamination risks. For … the first time…
As zooplankton is an important food source for consumers, and a major source of … recruits to the benthic community, impacts on sensitive zooplankton communities have the … potential to significantly alter nearshore marine ecosystems in Antarctica.
Zooplankton species are an important component of the Antarctic coastal ecosystem. The strongly seasonal sea ice cover and phytoplankton availability has driven a modification in the life cycles of many Antarctic zooplankton species. In general only one cycle is completed each year.
Manipulative field studies are useful for investigating cause–effect relationships between contamination and benthic community health. However…
It has been shown by Taguchi (2010) that QBO periods were longer and … amplitudes larger during periods of La Niña than during periods of El Niño during … the period 1953-2008. Garfinkel and Hartmann (2007)…
Poa annua is a non-native grass found in Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic. It has a restricted distribution on Heard Island but is common and widespread on Macquarie Island, both World Heritage Areas.
