OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The South Pacific Gyre is the Earth's biggest system of ocean currents, located south of the equator between South America and Australia. It is mostly inactive and contains little marine life. The gyre's sediment accumulates very slowly, approximately 0.1 to 1 m (0.3 to 3.3 ft) every million years. Its ecosystem has very little living matter and contains low amounts of life and has low growth and reproduction rates. At all depths in the gyre's sediment, mean cell abundances and net rates of respiration are several orders of magnitude lower than those of other subseafloor communities at the same depths. Because of the low respiration rates and thin consistency of the sediment in the area, most of the spaces between the sediment columns contain oxygen. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Lambert M.
