Halogen chemistry in the polar regions occurs through the release of sea salt rich aerosols from sea ice surfaces and organic compounds from algae colonies living within the sea...

As a contribution to the international Scientific Research Program "Antarctic Thresholds - Ecosystem Resilience and Adaptation" (AnT-ERA) of the "Scientific Committee on...

Planktonic foraminifera preserved in marine sediments archive the physical and chemical conditions under which they built their shells. To interpret the paleoceanographic...

Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is changing seawater chemistry towards reduced pH, which consequently affects various properties of marine organisms. Coastal and...

Ocean acidification is caused by increasing amounts of carbon dioxide dissolving in the oceans leading to lower seawater pH. We studied the effects of lowered pH on the calanoid...

Effects of diel-cycling dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH on young-of-the-year summer flounder Paralichthys dentatus were examined in laboratory experiments. Flounder were exposed to...

This data set provides climatological distributions of d13C of dissolved inorganic carbon for the global oceans. This includes present and reconstructed preindustrial d13C, and...

The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the most challenging regions of Antarctica from a climatological perspective, owing to the recent atmospheric and oceanic warming. The steep...

In order to investigate the climate variability in the northern Antarctic Peninsula region, this paper focuses on the relationship between stable isotope content of...

This study was carried out within the Biodiversity Exploratories (www.biodiversity-exploratories.de), a large-scale and long-term project for investigating relationships between...

Because photosynthesis requires CO2, carbon limitation in aquatic environments could restrict primary production and provide signals in tissue chemistry. We took advantage of...

We performed quantitative assessment of the reproductive systems of deep-sea species Onykia ingens. Our goals were to: 1) quantify spermatophore production 2) determine the...

This data set contains three time series of flower visitor, blossom cover and flower trait diversity indices from the main experiment plots of a large grassland biodiversity...

Satellite techniques allow a nearly global coverage of elevation data, even in polar regions. However, in situ observations are crucial to validate these measurements. This...

We investigated the effects of ocean acidification on the DOM pool in the open subtropical North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Gran Canaria during an oligotrophic phase and...

Burial of organic carbon in marine sediments has a profound influence in marine biogeochemical cycles and provides a sink for greenhouse gases such as CO2 and CH4. However,...

Ice-rich permafrost coasts in the Arctic are highly sensitive to climate warming and erode at a pace that exceeds the global average. Permafrost coasts deliver vast amounts of...

Soundscapes are multidimensional spaces that carry meaningful information for many species about the location and quality of nearby and distant resources. Because soundscapes...

For Austrian glacier ski resorts, established in the 1970s and 1980s during a period of glacier advance, negative mass balances with resulting glacier area loss and decrease in...

The dispersal of larvae and their settlement to suitable habitat is fundamental to the replenishment of marine populations and the communities in which they live. Sound plays an...
