Pattern and control of primary production

Plant growth in most ecosystems forms the base or “primary” component of the food web. The amount and type of plant growth in an ecosystem helps to determine the amount and kind of animals (or “secondary” productivity) that can survive there.

Carbon fluxes and pelagic ecosystem dynamics around two western Antarctic Peninsula Adélie penguin colonies: an inverse model approach.

Poster Number:  71 Presenter/Primary Author:  Sevrine Sailley Using Palmer LTER data from annual summer sampling cruises, a food-web inverse model for the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) pelagic food web was constrained, and model solutions were generated f
