Description
Summary:J. E. Smith. It is clear from our discussions that there is a real need for continuity of research in the Antarctic. But the fact of our being able to hold this first meeting of British scientists at which a series of interrelated papers on the terrestrial and freshwater Antarctic ecosystem have been delivered is most encouraging. We have been able to spotlight certain major problems in the fields of energy flow and population interaction which are in need of further study. I invite your comments on plans for the future.
