The ability to exploit spatial and temporal heterogeneity in soil resources can be one factor important to the competitive balance of plants. Competition above-ground may limit selective plant responses to below-ground heterogeneity, since mechanisms such as root proliferation and alterations in
Leaf respiration and photosynthesis will respond differently to an increase in temperature during night, which can be more relevant in sensitive ecosystems such as Antarctica. We postulate that the plant species able to colonize the Antarctic Peninsula -Colobanthus quitensis (Kunth) Bartl. and
During a survey of microfungi on the subantarctic island of South Georgia, large numbers of phylloplane yeasts were isolated in late spring from leaves of a tussock grass. The dominant yeast was identified asCandida saké, this being the first record for the Antarctic region. Isolates in liquid
OBJECTIVE
Nitrogen (N) inputs to the terrestrial environment have doubled worldwide during the past century. N negatively impacts plant diversity, but it is unknown why some species are more susceptible than others. While it is often assumed that competition drives species decline, N enrichment also
