Ecophysiology of Antarctic vascular plants
Physiologia Plantarum, 2002 Most of the ice and snow‐free land in the Antarctic summer is found along the Antarctic Peninsula and adjacent islands and coastal areas of the continent. This is the area where most of the Antarctic vegetation is found. Mean air temperature tends to be above zero during the summer in parts of the Maritime Antarctic.

Mosses are Important for Soil Carbon Sequestration in Forested Peatlands
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 Nutrient-rich peat soils have previously been demonstrated to lose carbon despite higher photosynthesis and litter production compared to nutrient-poor soils, where instead carbon accumulates.

Species–area relationships in continuous vegetation : evidence from Palaearctic grasslands [PDF]
, 2019 Aim: Species-area relationships (SARs) are fundamental scaling laws in ecology although their shape is still disputed. At larger areas power laws best represent SARs.

Making biodiversity measures accessible to non-specialists: An innovative method for rapid assessment of urban biodiversity [PDF]
, 2010 Urban biodiversity studies provide important inputs to studying the interactions between human societies and ecological systems. However, existing urban biodiversity methods are time intensive and/or too complex for the purposes of rapid biodiversity ...

Field Simulation of Global Change: Transplanting Northern Bog Mesocosms Southward [PDF]
, 2010 A large proportion of northern peatlands consists of Sphagnum-dominated ombrotrophic bogs. In these bogs, peat mosses (Sphagnum) and vascular plants occur in an apparent stable equilibrium, thereby sustaining the carbon sink function of the bog ecosystem.
