Ice Flora (Bottom Type): A Mechanism of Primary Production in Polar Seas and the Growth of Diatoms in Sea Ice’ HIROSHI MEGURO, ~ KUNIYUKI ITO,~
ABSTRACT. A field survey off Barrow in the summer of 1964 revealed that sea ice in the Artic develops a layered structure through the growth of diatoms. The diatoms increase in brine solutions which occur in the microfissures between fine crystals of sea ice and form a brown-coloured layer near the...
