Abstract:<p>Sea ice algal communities play a very significant role in primary production in the Southern Ocean, being the only source of fixed carbon for all other life in this habitat and contributing up to 22% of Antarctic primary production in ice-covered regions. Therefore it is important to understand how these organisms adapt to this highly variable and harsh environment Previous studies have described their acclimation to changes in environmental conditions but we still do not understand the physiological … Show more
