南极洲的生态系统由于南半球陆地分布层的漂浮碎片而面临入侵海洋物种和污染的更大风险。 Antarctica's ecosystems face increased risks from invasive marine species and pollution due to floating debris from Southern Hemisphere landmasses.

全球变化生物学的一项研究显示,南极洲的生态系统由于来自南半球陆地的塑料等漂浮碎片而面临入侵海洋物种和污染的更大风险。 A study in Global Change Biology reveals Antarctica's ecosystems face increased risks from invasive marine species and pollution due to floating debris, such as plastics, from Southern Hemisphere landmasses. 研究表明,非本地物种可以通过来自所有南部大陆的漂浮物体进入南极洲,而海冰的减少使殖民化的可能性更大。 The research suggests that non-native species can reach Antarctica via floating objects from all southern continents, with the decline in sea ice making colonization more likely. 这突出表明需要加强国际努力,保护非洲大陆的脆弱环境。 This highlights the need for increased international efforts to protect the continent's fragile environment.
