Extreme southern locations for moss sporophytes in Antarctica
Seppelt, Rodney D.; Green, T.G. Allan; Schwarz, A-M.J.; Frost, A. (1992)Abundant immature sporophytes of the moss Pottia heimii are reported from the Lower Taylor Valley, McMurdo Dry Valleys and from Cape Chocolate, Victoria Land. These finds extend the reported southern limit for the occurrence ... -
High diversity of lichens at 84°S, Queen Maud Mountains, suggests preglacial survival of species in the Ross Sea region, Antarctica
Green, T.G. Allan; Sancho, Leopoldo G.; Türk, Roman; Seppelt, Rodney D.; Hogg, Ian D. (Springer, 2011)Investigations of lichens collected in 1959/1960, 1963/1964 and 2003 from near the Beardmore Glacier in the southern Ross Sea region (84 S) have more than doubled the number of known lichen species in the area to around ... -
Lichen and moss communities of Botany Bay, Granite Harbour, Ross Sea, Antarctica
Seppelt, Rodney D.; Türk, Roman; Green, T.G. Allan; Moser, Gerald; Pannewitz, Stefan; Sancho, Leopoldo G.; Schroeter, Burkhard (Cambridge University Press, 2010)Antarctic soils are extremely cold, dry, and oligotrophic, yet harbour surprisingly high bacterial diversity. The severity of environmental conditions has constrained the development of multi-trophic communities, and species ... -
Photosynthetic performance of Xanthoria mawsonii C. W. Dodge in coastal habitats, Ross Sea region, continental Antarctica
Pannewitz, Stefan; Green, T.G. Allan; Schlensog, Mark; Seppelt, Rodney D.; Sancho, Leopoldo G.; Schroeter, Burkhard (Cambridge University Press, 2006)Xanthoria mawsonii C. W. Dodge was found to perform well physiologically in a variety of habitats at high latitudes in continental Antarctica. The net photosynthetic rate of 7•5 μ mol CO2 kg−1 s−1 is exceptionally high for ... -
Photosynthetic responses of three common mosses from continental Antarctica
Pannewitz, Stefan; Green, T.G. Allan; Maysek, Kadmiel; Schlensog, Mark; Seppelt, Rodney D.; Sancho, Leopoldo G.; Türk, Roman; Schroeter, Burkhard (Cambridge University Press, 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 ...
