Limnological and nearshore diatom communities of Macquarie Island: proxies of subantarctic climate change?
Entry ID:
ASAC_2663
Summary
Abstract:
Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 2663
See the link below for public details on this project. Public Summary Macquarie Island offers scientists a unique laboratory for investigating subantarctic climate change. We will establish the biodiversity of microalgal flora (specifically diatoms) within the lakes and lagoons of Macquarie Island and ultimately use the flora of today to investigate ...
