Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
ASPA entry, Import. Applicant
wishes to enter Cape Royds ASPA 121
to collect soil samples and associated
invertebrates as well as benthic algal
mats and underlying soil. This project
follows up on several past surveys of
orthinogenic soils conducted in this
ASPA which examined invertebrate
genetic distribution, and also explores
the influence of climate change on soil
invertebrate populations. The algae
sampling is to also follow up on
previous surveys, to examine the
temporal stability of lake algal
communities in the region. Soil samples
of approximately 600 grams each would
be collected at up to 30 sites within the
ASPA using sterile collecting
techniques. For benthic algae, at 6 sites
along the shore of Poly Lake, the
applicant and team would use a
sanitized 2 cm copper coring apparatus
to collect, by hand, 4 replicates of
surface algal mats and 1–2 cm of
underlying sediment. Samples would be
transported back to the US for further
study.
