Sources, Pathways and Sinks of Organic Matter in Antarctic Terrestrial Ecosystems (MATE)

Entry ID: MATE.NL

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Terrestrial, limnetic and coastal ecosystems in Antarctica are connected by
transport (predominantly by melt water) of organic matter and minerals.
Temperature increase (either directly or indirectly via changes in melt water
fluxes and precipitation patterns) influences the fluxes of organic matter and
minerals within and between these ecosystems.

Description: The Unit for Polar Ecology brings together scientists from different research departments of NIOO, who are involved in polar research. The Unit for Polar Ecology will use the responses of the ecosystems to climate change, to study more fundamental processes occurring in ecosystems, such as functional diversity, structure and dynamics of food webs and carbon and nitrogen cycles, and the interactions between marine, terrestrial and limnetic ecosystems.
