Abstract |
Antarctic marine environments are amongst the most extreme on Earth in several characteristics. They combine the globally lowest and most stable temperatures with the highest oxygen content and the greatest variability in other variables such as light intensity, ice cover and phytoplankton productivity (Peck et al. 2006). |
