Decline in plankton diversity and carbon flux with reduced sea ice extent along the Western Antarctic Peninsula

Decline in plankton diversity and carbon flux with reduced sea ice extent along the Western Antarctic Peninsula

Over the past century, the Western Antarctic Peninsula has experienced rapid warming and a substantial loss of sea ice with important implications for plankton biodiversity and carbon cycling. Using a 5-year DNA metabarcoding dataset, this study assesses how interannual variability in sea-ice condit...
