Role of Antarctic marine protists in trophodynamics and global change and impact of UV-B on these organisms - Rotation 0 of the Astrolabe - 2005/2006 samples

This dataset contains the locations of sampling sites for ASAC project 40 on rotation 0 of the French polar supply ship L'Astrolabe in the 2005/2006 season. Samples were collected between October and November of 2005. It also contains the final dataset which has information on chlorophyll, carotenoids, coccolithophorids and species identification and counts.

Public Summary from the project:

This program aims to determine the role of single celled plants, animals, bacteria and viruses in Antarctic waters. We quantify their vital role as food for other organisms, their potential influence in moderating global climate change through absorption of CO2 and production of DMS, and determine their response to effect of climate change.

该数据集收录了2005/2006航季法国极地补给船“星盘号”（L'Astrolabe）第0航段ASAC项目40的采样点位置信息。样本采集于2005年10月至11月期间。此外，数据集还包含最终研究数据，涵盖叶绿素、类胡萝卜素、颗石藻（coccolithophorids）、物种鉴定结果及计数信息。

项目公开摘要：

本项目旨在阐明南极水域中单细胞植物、动物、细菌与病毒的生态功能。我们量化其作为其他生物食物来源的核心作用，以及它们通过吸收CO₂与产生DMS对减缓全球气候变化的潜在影响，并探究其对气候变化效应的响应机制。
