Particulate organic matter composition in Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea, Antarctica) during summer 1990
Particulate organic matter was collected in the coastal waters of Terra Nova Bay during the Oceanographic Campaign of the Italian Antarctic Research Programme in summer (January–February) 1990. Particulate matter composition was analysed for organic carbon and nitrogen, carbohydrates, proteins, lipi...
