Research Abstract |
In 2009, every methods of sample treatment, sampling procedure, measurements using the instruments, and analysis for vegetation distribution were determined, and then, the field study was performed in Antarctica. Limnological parameters were collected from 23 lakes, and sediment cores/waters in the 19 lakes and snow/ice/water samples in water catchment area were obtained. Dissolved inorganic nutrients and nitrogen/carbon stable isotope of water and core samples were analyzed in 2010. Gap water in the lake sediments have never been obtained ever, and also, this study which revealed the nutrients distribution in the lake sediments is first in the world.
