Improving the Protected Area System in the Ross Sea Region, Antarctica
Author: J. R. KEYSRoss Sea Ecology
Author: F.M. FarandaPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 364259607X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 594
Book Description
The Antarctic represents the last of the world's still unexplored continents. Since 1985, Italy has sent 10 expeditions to this region, three of those have been exclusively devoted to research on the marine ecology of the Ross Sea region. This volume presents a global picture of this research. It includes contributions on water mass characteristics, particulate organic matter and nutrient utilization, and physiological aspects of primary production. Further topics are zooplankton, krill and top predator interactions in relation to physical and biological parameters, ecological features of coastal fish communities and the spatio-temporal variability of benthic biocenoses.
Oceanography of the Ross Sea

Book Description
This volume provides an overview of recent observation results in Antarctica and particularly the Ross Sea. A general description of the oceanography in the area is given. The links between circulation and particle fluxes of biogenic elements are explored. This up-to-date data analysis and modelling contributes to a more complete understanding of the Ross Sea as a dynamic and ecological system and will be of great interest to scientists involved in physical oceanography, meteorology, climate, and marine biology research.

Book Description
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Antarctic Research Series, Volume 78. The seas surrounding Antarctica are the least-studied on Earth, yet they figure prominently in both the global climate system and the biogeochemical cycling of such key elements as C, N, Si, and P. The Southern Ocean affects climate directly through the sinking of surface waters via cooling and changes in salt content. Such water near Antarctica moves slowly northward through all major ocean basins. In doing so, it retains a long-lived signature of the physical and biological processes that occurred in Antarctic surface waters lasting many hundreds of years through all phases: sinking, northward flow, and mixing or upwelling into the sunlit ocean thousands of kilometers away. By this process, CO2 that dissolves into the Antarctic seas may be stored in the deep ocean for centuries. In fact, the Southern Ocean is one of the most important regions on Earth for the uptake and subsurface transport of fossil fuel CO2.
