Climate change and carbon gain in Antarctic mosses - Drying Responses
Entry ID: AAS_2780_dryingresponse

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: We compared the drying responses of clumps of moss from Casey Station, Antarctica, evaluating the changes in mass, water content, photosynthesis (measured by chlorophyll fluorescence), cellular solute concentration (measured by differential scanning calorimetry) and cellular dimensions.

Drying was performed at different temperatures and VPDs to evaluate the relative impacts of temperature ... View entire text

LABORATORY Ancillary Description
Quality Samples were collected in February 2012. The experiments reported in this dataset were conducted between March 20th 2012 and May 24th 2012.

No major problems were encountered. A small number of chlorophyll measurements are potentially problematic and have been flagged as such in the relevant data sheet and were not included in the final analysis.

The relative proportion of Bryum and Ceratodon in the mixed clumps was variable, and so those clumps were not included in the published final analysis.
