Investigation of structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems at James Ross Island, Antarctica
Original language description
Since 2007, long-term research of structure and function of Antarctic terestrial ecosystems has been carried out on northern part of James Ross Island (JRI). We present an overview of field activities of Antarctic expedition crew in Jan-Feb 2015. Main attention was devoted to the directions: Climatology, Glaciers and pemafrost, Hydrology and limnology, Terrestrial Biology, Environmental Science, Medical Science, and Technical and Material Science. In Jan-Feb 2015, vegetation cover and microclimate in 12OTCs, located in 3 contrasting localities of JRI, were investigated. Photosynthesis of Bryum sp. was evaluated by effective quantum yield of PS II using field instalations of fluorometers. Since 2012, heavy metal contents, mercury in particular, have been analysed in different JRI ecosystems In Jan-Feb 2015, 150 samples from lakes, ponds, streams, soils, sediments, and lichens were collected.
