Role of Antarctic marine protists in trophodynamics and global change and impact of UV-B on these organisms - Rotation 2 of the Astrolabe - 2005/2006 samples

This dataset contains the locations of sampling sites for ASAC project 40 on rotation 2 of the French polar supply ship L'Astrolabe in the 2005/2006 season. Samples were collected between December 2005 and January of 2006. 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科考季法国极地补给船星盘号（L'Astrolabe）第2航次ASAC项目40的采样点位坐标。样品采集时间为2005年12月至2006年1月。本数据集还包含最终数据集，内含叶绿素、类胡萝卜素、颗石藻（coccolithophorids）的相关数据，以及物种鉴定与计数结果。项目公开摘要显示：本项目旨在探明南极海域中单细胞植物、动物、细菌与病毒的生态作用；研究将量化它们作为其他生物饵料的核心生态功能，以及其通过吸收二氧化碳（CO₂）、生成二甲基硫（DMS）对缓解全球气候变化的潜在影响，并阐明它们对气候变化的响应机制。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。
