Washington DC (SPX) Mar 21, 2014 - The Ross Sea, a major, biologically productive Antarctic ecosystem, "clearly will be extensively modified by future climate change" in the coming decades as rising temperatures and changing wind patterns create longer periods of ice-free open water, affecting the life cycles of both predators and prey, according to a paper published by researchers funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). ... morehttp://www.terradaily.com/reports/Computer_model_predicts_vastly_different_ecosystem_in_Antarcticas_Ross_Sea_in_the_coming_century_999.html
