Responses of moss and lichen vegetation to manipulated warming: Long-term study exploiting OTC approach at James Ross Island, Antarctica
Original language description
In 2007, several open top chambers (OTCs) were establised in three contrasting habitats: i) mossdominated coastal vegetation oasis (5 m a.s.l.), (ii) lichen-dominated plateau of a table mountain (350 m a.s.l.), and ice-free forefield of a cap glacier (410 m a.s.l.). The long-term study comprised evaluation of differences in microclimate between the OTCs and outside control plots as well as changes in vegetation cover and selected photosynthetic characteristics. For consecutive 7 years, continuous measurements of air temperature (30 cm above surface), vegetation cover and soil temperatures as well as air humidity have been done at the three habitats in 1 h interval. Vegetation in OTCs and at control plots were photographed each year so that OTCs-inducedchanges in vegetation cover could be evaluated. To estimate annual courses of photosynthetic activity of Bryum sp.
