Temporal controls on silicic acid utilisation along the West Antarctic Peninsula
Sea-ice plays a key role in regulating nutrient dynamics and primary productivity along the Antarctica Peninsula margin. Here, the authors show that over the last 13 kyr nutrient dynamics have also been regulated by glacial discharge, highlighting the potential for future changes as glaciers continu...

Summary: | Sea-ice plays a key role in regulating nutrient dynamics and primary productivity along the Antarctica Peninsula margin. Here, the authors show that over the last 13 kyr nutrient dynamics have also been regulated by glacial discharge, highlighting the potential for future changes as glaciers continue to melt. |
