Summary
Abstract: The long term research program ICECUBE (Coastal Underwater Benthic Ecosystems) provides fundamental information on the structural and functional biodiversity of Antarctic coastal benthic ecosystems. The Antarctic marine ecosystem is under threat as a result of global climate change and other anthropogenic influences. Characterising the structure and function of benthic ecosystems and determining ... View entire text

Quality Data-screening reduced the 170 lakes to 167 lakes, which using
weighted averaging give superior results in terms of lowest root mean
squared errors of prediction in cross-validation (Birks et al. 1990a;
Birks et al. 1990b).
