| Abstract | Discusses organism physiology with particular reference to evaluation of biotic responses of Antarctic plants to climate change. Includes responses to increased radiation; changes in photosynthesis and growth; increases in UV-B absorbing compounds; photosynthesis and photoprotective pigments in Antarctic plants; DNA-damage and photoreactivation; developmental and metabolic responses; water and nutrient availability. Also evaluates responses of invertebrates to changes in temperature and water patterns |
