Dataset Results
In conjunction with the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, lakes were monitored for microzooplankton by a team based out of the University of Nottingham (led by Johanna Laybourn-Parry). This dataset shows numbers of ciliates, bacteria, heterotrophic nanoflagellates, and phototrophic nanoflagellates found at various depths in Lake Fryxell.

This dataset shows grazing rates of heterotrophic and mixotrophic flagellates found in Lakes Hoare and Fryxell at various depths and dates.

The McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, are experiencing rapid landscape scale change including increased glacial melt, the expansion of water tracks, thermokarst formation, an increase in the extent of the soil active layer, lake level rise, and altered stream flow. The impacts of these changes for biological communities are currently unknown. The goal of this study was to conduct surveys and experiments in three Dry Valley soil habitats that are expected to undergo change: water tracks, lake margins, and active layer profiles.
