Climate Variability and Global Warming impact on Antarctic Ecosystem structure and functioning. Argentinean-Belgian Cooperation

On an annual basis, the Antarctic seasonal pack-ice zone is the most productive zone in terms of phyto- and zooplankton biomass (Hempel 1985, Brierley et al.2002) Its extent is be affected negatively by an increase of the overall sea surface temperature. This increase can be related to short term an...

Description
Summary:On an annual basis, the Antarctic seasonal pack-ice zone is the most productive zone in terms of phyto- and zooplankton biomass (Hempel 1985, Brierley et al.2002) Its extent is be affected negatively by an increase of the overall sea surface temperature. This increase can be related to short term anomalies such as El Niño or to long term effects of global warming. Increased sea-surface temperatures and decreasing sea ice
