- W4211161570 abstract "The aim of the chapter is to give an account of some of the work carried out to date on Antarctic benthic plants and animals. The area included in the Antarctic has been circumscribed to cover the Antarctic region defined herein as the shores of the Antarctic Continent, the South Shetlands, South Orkneys, South Sandwich Islands and South Georgia together with Bouvet Island. The Subantarctic has been excluded, and such islands as Kerguelen, Heard and Macquarie have been considered subantarctic. The consideration of sub-Antarctic biology raises many other problems because the biota cannot be so readily circumscribed and involves much closer relationships with associated regions, such as South America, New Zealand and Australia. In complete contrast to Arctic conditions, Antarctica consists of a large land mass invested with ice sheets of varying thickness, and surrounded by a great body of water, the Southern Ocean. An extremely large number of expeditioners of one sort or another have visited Antarctica. The beginning of human intrusion into Antarctic waters is poorly documented and will probably never be better known. Proper documentation really began in the 1770s when the fringes of Antarctica began to be explored as part of the general exploration of the Southern Hemisphere and the southern Indo-Pacific, in particular. Every major group of marine benthic animals seems to have been recorded from Antarctic waters, although the representation within these major groups may be uneven. Study of Antarctic sea bottom assemblages is in a fairly primitive state. This probably mirrors a general lack of certainty of approach towards methods of describing and codifying the groupings of plants and animals found on the sea floor in other parts of the world." @default.
