High Resilience and Fast Acclimation Processes Allow the Antarctic Moss <i>Bryum argenteum</i> to Increase Its Carbon Gain in Warmer Growing Conditions

High Resilience and Fast Acclimation Processes Allow the Antarctic Moss <i>Bryum argenteum</i> to Increase Its Carbon Gain in Warmer Growing Conditions

Climate warming in Antarctica involves major shifts in plant distribution and productivity. This study aims to unravel the plasticity and acclimation potential of <i>Bryum argenteum</i> var. <i>muticum</i>, a cosmopolitan moss species found in Antarctica. By comparing short-t...
