| Abstract | Considers temperature, water (precipitation and melt) and solar radiation (photosynthetically active and UV radiation) as three aspects of climate change expected to have direct influence on Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems. Includes discussion of air temperature trends, and trends over annual cycle; effect of temperature change on terrestrial microclimates and freshwater habitats; and effects of changes in permafrost and ice sheet fluctuations |
