Small-scale variations in phytoplankton standing stock and productivity across the oceanic fronts in the Southern Ocean
Observations on phytoplankton standing stock and productivity were carried out across the Antarctic Polar Front (PF) and the Subtropical Convergence (STC) employing a small-scale sampling scheme (1 sample per 1 or 2 miles) through 20 or 40 miles transects. Maximum of chlorophyll standing stock (0.18...
