Basking in the sun: how mosses photosynthesise and survive in Antarctica Photosynthesis Research, 2023 (Ref: 16924)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Antarctic environment is extremely cold, windy and dry. Ozone depletion has resulted in increasing ultraviolet-B radiation, and increasing greenhouse gases and decreasing stratospheric ozone have altered Antarctica's climate.

Species on the move in Antarctic terrestrial communities Species on the Move Conference, Hobart, Australia 9-12 February 2016, 2016 (Ref: 15848)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Antarctica has experienced major changes in temperature, wind speed and stratospheric ozone levels over the last 50 years. Whilst West Antarctica and the peninsula have shown rapid warming and consequent ecosystem change, East Antarctica appeared to be little impacted by climate warming…

Accumulation of DNA damage in Antarctic mosses: correlations with ultraviolet-B radiation, temperature and turf water content vary among species Global Change Biology, 2009 (Ref: 13636)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The susceptibility of three East Antarctic moss species to UV-B radiation was examined by measuring accumulation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers under natural sunlight during the austral summer season of 2002/03.

Desiccation protects two Antarctic mosses from ultraviolet-B induced DNA damage Functional Plant Biology, 2009 (Ref: 13635)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Living in a frozen desert, Antarctic mosses are characterised by the ability to survive desiccation and can tolerate multiple desiccation-rehydration events over the summer growing season. As a result of recent ozone depletion…

Safer to be dry - desiccation protects Antarctic mosses from UV-B induced DNA damage American Society of Plant Biologists, 2006 (Ref: 12888)
Category 3: Abstract

Growth conditions in Antarctica are extreme, and the few plants that can … grow there are exposed to a highly seasonal, rapidly variable and often … extreme climate. In recent decades, these plants have also been exposed to … increased levels of UV-B radiation (UV-BR)…

UV-B screening potential is higher in two cosmopolitan moss species than in a co-occurring Antarctic endemic ? implications of continuing ozone depletion. Abstracts of the Combio 2006 Conference, Brisbane Sept 24-28th 2006., 2006 (Ref: 12837)
Category 3: Abstract

Concentrations of UV-B absorbing pigments and anthocyanins were measured in three moss species, over a summer growing season in Antarctica. Significant seasonal differences were found in the potential UV-B screening pigments. The most exposed species, Ceratodon purpureus…

How will climate change affect Antarctic moss species? Abstracts of the SCAR Open Science Conference, Hobart, 12-14 July 2006., 2006 (Ref: 12835)
Category 3: Abstract

Antarctica has been exposed to increases in ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation as a result of … ozone depletion for several decades. In addition, climate change will alter temperature and … water availability to plant communities over the next century. Recent studies…

Impact of changes in natural ultraviolet radiation on pigment composition, physiological and morphological characteristics of the Antarctic moss, Grimmia antarctici. Global Change Biology, 2005 (Ref: 11871)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The impact of ambient ultraviolet (UV)-B radiation on the endemic bryophyte, Grimmia … antarctici, was studied over 14 months in East Antarctica. Over recent decades, Antarctic … plants have been exposed to the largest relative increase in UV-B exposure as a result of … ozone depletion.

Protection against a sub-Antarctic summer - photoprotective and UV-B screening pigments of Heard Island vascular plants. Abstracts from the International Botanical Congress, Vienna, July 2005., 2005 (Ref: 12328)
Category 3: Poster

Two vascular plant species (hair grass Deschampsia antarctica … and herb Acaena magellanica) from sub-Antarctic Heard Island … were sampled on 5 days between December 2003 and February … 2004.

Ambient UV radiation levels negatively affect the endemic Antarctic moss, Grimmia antarctici. Abstracts from the International Botanical Congress, Vienna, July 2005, 2005 (Ref: 12327)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Over recent decades, Antarctic plants have been exposed to the … largest relative increase in UV-B exposure as a result of ozone … depletion. Open-sided plexiglass screens were used to reduce UV … levels by 77% over turves of the endemic Antarctic bryophyte, Grimmia antarctici…

Susceptibility of Antarctic Mosses to UV-B induced DNA damage. Abstracts of the International Botanical Congress, Vienna, July 2005, 2005 (Ref: 12331)
Category 3: Poster

Antarctic vegetation is exposed to elevated levels of UV-B … radiation (UVBR) as a result of ozone depletion. Three species of … co-occurring Antarctic bryophytes, Bryum pseudotriquetrum…
