Large scale patterns in Antarctic biomass and production

A total of 869 quantitative benthos samples (corers and grabs) were collected at 203 stations in the Weddell Sea and Peninsula regions by German expeditions between 1984 and 2000. Spatial and taxonomic distribution patterns of macrobenthic production and biomass are analysed based on 35 major taxono...
