1. Microbial plankton dynamics in an ultra-oligotrophic epishelf lake (Beaver Lake,Antarctica) were investigated over an austral summer (December 2002 to January 2003).The aim was to characterise carbon cycling in an environmentally extreme lake.2. The lake had an unusual temperature profile with pe...
