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.For more information, see the other metadata records related to ASAC project 40 (ASAC_40).

本数据集包含2005/2006航季法国极地补给船“星盘号（L'Astrolabe）”执行ASAC项目40第0轮次的采样点位坐标信息。样本采集工作于2005年10月至11月间开展。本数据集同时包含最终数据集，其中涵盖叶绿素（chlorophyll）、类胡萝卜素（carotenoids）、颗石藻（coccolithophorids）的相关参数，以及物种鉴定与计数结果。项目公开摘要如下：本项目旨在探究南极水域内单细胞植物、动物、细菌及病毒的生态作用：我们将量化它们作为其他生物饵料的核心功能，以及其通过吸收CO₂（CO2）、生成二甲基硫（DMS）以减缓全球气候变化的潜在影响，并探明它们对气候变化效应的响应机制。如需获取更多信息，请查阅与ASAC项目40（ASAC_40）相关的其他元数据记录。
