The Western Antarctic Peninsula is warming. As a result, summertime salinity stratification may occur more frequently due to enhanced glacial melt water input. The resulting changes in environmental conditions could affect the seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton and Bacteria. The aim of the present s...
