The significant impact of enhanced UV-B radiation on Antarctic marine
organisms has been widely recognized. So far studies on Antarctic
terrestrial organisms are few.
The aim of the project is to ...
Three plant species, the leafy liverwort Cephaloziella varians and the angiosperms Deschampsia antarctica and Colobanthus quitensis, were sampled from 12 islands across a 1480 km latitudinal gradient ...
This study investigated the status of dark septate ("DS") fungi in Antarctic plant and soil communities, with the aim of determining the abundance of DS fungi in plant roots and rhizoids, their taxonomic ...
Deschampsia antarctica plants were collected in Robert Island, Antarctica, and
frozen in liquid nitrogen. Polar lipids and the composition of fatty acids in
phospholipids and galactolipids were analysed ...
The distribution and size structure of tussocks of the population of
Deschampsia antarctica Desv. was studied in the Coppermine Peninsula, Robert
Island. Different study sites showed predominance ...

The objective of this project is to analyze the effect that the incident UV
radiation has on the Antarctic bacterial flora. Two different systems will be
studied:
a) Effect on coastal marine ...
The data is derived from a study of the reaction of Deschampsia to
environmental conditions during the Antarctic summer and consists of
biochemical analyses of leaves, analyses by HPLC of lipids, ...
Studies related to the content of non-structural sweeten in Desachampsia
antarctica, have been made since 1992. It has been found that the plant
accumulates high levels of saccharose and fructose. ...
