TL;DR: In this paper, new estimates of Arctic and Antarctic production of biogenic carbon are derived, and differences as well as similarities between the two oceans are examined.

Physical controls on the development and characteristics of Antarctic sea ice biological communities- a review and synthesis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the associated colonization, physiological adaptation, and growth of sea ice biota within these structures, to the levels presently identifiable, including frazil ice growth; the flooded snow layer; pressure ridge induced flooding; thermally driven brine drainage; and platelet-ice formation.

On the habitability of Europa
TL;DR: In this paper, the suitability of Europa as a habitat for living organisms was investigated and it was shown that for a plausible physical model of Europa, the general conditions for the survival of biological organisms could exist, at least in some regions, highly restricted in both space and time.

Physical control of the horizontal patchiness of sea-ice microalgae
TL;DR: The horizontal heterogeneity of the snow-ice cover, whlch is influenced by wind at the air-ice interface, thus provides diversified bottom-ice habitats where irradiance is compatible or not with the physiological limits of the ice microalgals cells, which results in a strong patchiness in distribution of ice-bottom microalgae.
