Respiratory and Photosynthetic Responses of Antarctic Vascular Plants Are Differentially Affected by CO<sub>2</sub> Enrichment and Nocturnal Warming

Projected rises in atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentration and minimum night-time temperatures may have important effects on plant carbon metabolism altering the carbon balance of the only two vascular plant species in the Antarctic Peninsula. We assessed the effect of nocturnal warming...
