Photosynthetic responses of three common mosses from continental Antarctica [PDF]
, 2005 Predicting the effects of climate change on Antarctic terrestrial vegetation requires a better knowledge of the ecophysiology of common moss species. In this paper we provide a comprehensive matrix for photosynthesis and major environmental parameters ...

Meteorology of the Antarctic Region [PDF]
Nature, 1882 IT is well known that on the Antarctic lands perpetual snow descends much lower than in corresponding latitudes of the northern hemisphere. The chief cause of this is, no doubt, the difference of climate due to the preponderance of land in the northern hemisphere and of water in the southern.

Fourteen degrees of latitude and a continent apart: comparison of lichen activity over two years at continental and maritime Antarctic sites [PDF]
, 2010 There are marked declines in precipitation, mean temperatures and the number of lichen species with increasing latitude in Antarctica. However, it is not known which factors are the predominant controllers of biodiversity changes.

Influence of sea-ice anomalies on Antarctic precipitation using source attribution in the Community Earth System Model [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 We conduct sensitivity experiments using a general circulation model that has an explicit water source tagging capability forced by prescribed composites of pre-industrial sea-ice concentrations (SICs) and corresponding sea surface temperatures (SSTs) to

Along‐Slope Variability of Cross‐Slope Eddy Transport in East Antarctica
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) transport across the Antarctic continental slope regulates the delivery of heat to the shelf and its availability to melt floating ice shelves. The cross‐slope density field, calculated from profiles collected by conductivity‐

PRELIMINARY LONG-PERIOD MAGNETOTELLURIC INVESTIGATION AT THE EDGE OF ICE SHEET IN EAST ANTARCTICA [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020 The lithospheric mantle structure of the Antarctic continent is of great significance of studying the polymerization and fragmentation mechanism of Gondwana and the plate movement law. Long-period magnetotelluric (LMT) is an important method to study the
