Temperature, light and dissolved nutrients are considered the “master” properties controlling
primary production in the ocean. Each of these properties, in turn, is influenced by water …

In-situ surface chlorophyll concentrations (usually with phaeopigment) in the Pacific and
Indian ocean sectors of the Subantarctic water ring (between the Subtropical Convergence …

In the mid-1800s, when Justus von Liebig published his highly influential work relating soil
fertility to the yields of agricultural crops, surface waters worldwide frequently were …

The dissolution kinetics of biogenic silica in surface sediments collected during the
ANTARES I cruise were measured in stirred flow-through reactors. The rate data exhibit a …

Shipboard studies were performed for testing the classical hypothesis that Antarctic
phytoplankton suffers from a deficiency of Fe. In a suite of 5 experiments over 8 to 12 d …

1. The Southern Ocean is characterized by the combination of a low but stable temperature
with a markedly seasonal pattern of primary production. It therefore offers an environment …

A structured account of the full range of environments in Antarctica and of the microbial
communities that live within them. The author examines the major features of the chemical …

Four major functional units have been identified in the Southern Ocean and the mechanisms
that control the dynamics of nutrients and phytoplankton are detailed for the different sub …

To assess the principal factors regulating periphytic algal communities, I conducted a field
study along a productivity gradient of Swedish and Antarctic lakes ranging from extremely …

Diatoms form conspicuous elements of the microbial communities of many polar marine
environments. They may achieve very high biomass in the plankton, where they commonly …
