Biogeochemical controls on the concentrations and stable isotope compositions of sea-ice particulate organic matters in the Southern Ocean

Abstract. The primary production and zooplankton life cycles in the Southern Ocean synchronize with seasonal sea ice melting, during which particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PN), including ice algae, are supplied from sea ice into the water column. To understand carbo...
