It was found, that the chemical composition of waters flowing from the breeding places depends on the size and rate of precipitation, and also on the location of rookeries. The longer and more complicated is the run off route of waters from the terrain of rookery, the more diluted are the solutions that reach the sea. In such case a significant part of phosphorus contained in the fecal materials may be retained on land, while most of ammonia volatilizates into the atmosphere.}, type={Article}, title={Changes in chemical composition of waters running off from the penguin rookeries in the Admiralty Bay region (King George Island, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica)}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/111525/PDF-MASTER/1983_1-4_113-125.pdf}, keywords={Antarctic, pygoscelid penguins, penguin rookeries, decomposition, nutrients, chemical composition of waters}, }
