Description / Table of Contents:
Recent progress of marine ecology in polar regions is amazing. It includes the discoveries of unique sea-ice communities, high biodiversity of the polar bottom fauna, as well as the life strategies of planktonic organisms, seals and penguins. Modern research focuses on the impacts of global warming on polar ecosystems. Those studies cover all scales from molecular biology to global biogeochemical cycles. This book on marine polar biology contains 35 research reports and reviews by German scientists and their international partners spanning over two decades of biological research in the Arctic and Antarctic waters. Each article is worth reading on its own, and together they provide a comprehensive picture of the state-of-the-art knowledge of polar seas ecology.
