Researchers have analyzed water samples collected during two expeditions aboard the research icebreaker Polarstern to investigate how life and changing conditions on the Antarctic continental shelf affect carbon carried into the deep ocean. Published in Nature Communications, the study reveals a surprising finding: Despite intense biological activity and major changes in the water masses, the amount and make-up of dissolved organic matter remain almost unchanged.
