| Abstract |
In order to describe the foraminiferal distribution in the Ross Sea and the controlling environmental factors, 48 bottom grab and trawl samples have been analysed for their foraminiferal and sedimentary characteristics. Additional information from 60 samples of earlier workers has been included. The environmental factors studied include bathymetry, bottom temperature and salinity, median diameter of the sediment, calcium carbonate percentage, and geographic location. |
