Summary
Abstract:
Soil samples were collected during January 1999 and 2000 from the ornithogenic soils of the Adelie penguin colony at Cape Bird, the volcanic soils at Cape Evans, the gravels and ornithogenic soils of Cape Royds, the western (upper) regions of the Miers Valley, the Canada Glacier site of special scientific interest at Lake Fryxell, Taylor Valley, the meltpools of the McMurdo Ice Shelf near Bratina ...
