| Abstract | Overview of aims of SCAR research programme on Regional Sensitivity to Climate Change in Antarctic Terrestrial and Limnetic Ecosystems (RiSCC) outlines differing environmental circumstances affecting biogeography in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic biomes. Includes biogeographic zonation of native terrestrial invertebrates and plant species; key environmental factors and effect of isolation both of and within Antarctica; effects of anthropogenic atmospheric change; responses of biota to introduced species and climate change; and importance of Antarctica in global systems |
