Sea ice algae no more?
Primary productivity is an essential part of all ecosystems. Primary producers are important for starting the carbon cycle. In areas such as the Antarctic which is known to face climate changes, understanding how these changes will effect primary producers is of high importance. Wider ecosystem effe...
