Spatial and temporal dynamics of Antarctic shallow soft-bottom benthic communities: ecological drivers under climate change

Abstract Background Marine soft sediments are some of the most widespread habitats in the ocean, playing a vital role in global carbon cycling, but are amongst the least studied with regard to species composition and ecosystem functioning. This is particularly true of the Polar Regions, which are cu...
