DOI: 10.1002/lno.11147
Abstract: The Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP), one of the most productive regions of the Southern Ocean, is currently undergoing rapid environmental changes such as ocean acidification (OA) and increased daily irradiances from enhanced surface‐water stratification. To… read more here.

Benthic communities and their drivers: A spatial analysis off the Antarctic Peninsula
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Limnology and Oceanography"
DOI: 10.1002/lno.11187
Abstract: Multiple environmental factors control benthic community patterns, and their relative importance varies with spatial scale. Since this variation is difficult to evaluate quantitatively, extensive sampling across a broad range of spatial scales is required. Here,… read more here.
