Summary
Abstract:
In northern Victoria Land (continental Antarctica, between 72 and 76 degrees S,
162 and 169 degrees E), 18 moss samples have been collected and analyzed for the presence of pollen. In turfs and cushions of 8 different moss species, at least 27 pollen taxa could be identified. The Pinus-type pollen and those of grasses were very common. More than 60% of the total grains were damaged or could not be ...  Geographic Coverage

Moss turfs were collected from 18 sites in coastal northern Victoria Land in
December 1990 and January 1991. Whenever possible, turfs of different species of moss with adhering soils were removed from the ground and each samples packed and sealed in a separate plastic bag. At the Italian station Baia Terra Nova, samples were frozen and in this condition transported in Italy ...
