Data were collected on three sites, see under Purpose.
For Falklands Islands there are observations and countings of species, and data on soil respiration (2004, 2005).
For all three sites climate ...
Environmental manipulation studies are integral to determine impacts of climate warming. Chambers are predominantly used to assess summer warming on terrestrial biota, while changes during other seasons ...
In the austral summer of 2007/2008, using the momentum of the International Polar Year (2007-2009), an international team of ecologists assessed propagule (e.g. seeds, spores, reproductive adult organisms) ...
Objectives:
? To assess the structure and functioning of the Antarctic coastal ecosystem and the relationships between marine and terrestrial biota.
? To assess the origin of organic ...
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 ...
PROBLEM DEFINITION
Genetic exchange between local populations of Deschampsia Antarctica (Poaceae), one of the two phanerogams occurring in Antarctica, might be difficult. Dispersal of the species ...
Terrestrial, limnetic and coastal ecosystems in Antarctica are connected by
transport (predominantly by melt water) of organic matter and minerals.
Temperature increase (either ...
