The effects of UVB on growth and productivity and photoadaptations of bottom ice algae at Cape Evans, McMurdo Sound
Entry ID: K136_1999_2002_NZ_1

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Sea ice hosts a large community of algae which is released into the food chain when the ice melts. The sea ice algae grow rapidly in the Antarctic spring at a time that coincides with the ozone hole and when sea ice is most transparent to UVB. They are a good organism to study for the analysis of the effects of UVB on the Southern Ocean food chain. The changes in photosynthetic rate and the ... View entire text
