Fungal endophyte associations have been suggested as a possible strategy of Antarctic
vascular plants for surviving the extreme environmental conditions of Antarctica. However …

Deschampsia antarctica is one of the only two native vascular plants in Antarctica, mostly
located in the ice-free areas of the Peninsula's coast and adjacent islands. This region is …

Plant-fungi interactions have been identified as fundamental drivers of the plant host
performance, particularly in cold environments where organic matter degradation rates are …

The development of technology, like the widely-used off-the-shelf portable photosynthesis
systems, for the quantification of leaf gas exchange rates and chlorophyll fluorescence …

This study presents the preliminary results of the physicochemical characteristics of the soil
taken from the slope bio-engineering study. The soil would be used as a medium for the …

Abstract The Antarctic ecotype of Colobanthus quitensis is a vascular plant highly adapted to
the harsh environmental conditions of Maritime Antarctica which is now facing with the rapid …

The nutrient-poor soils of Antarctica are sensitive to change. Recent increases in the number
of anthropogenic introductions mean that understanding the impact of non-native species on …

Antarctica has entered a period of rapid, and potentially drastic, change. The combined
pressures of anthropogenic climate change, which disproportionately affects the polar …
