Increasing impacts by Antarctica’s most widespread invasive plant species as result of direct competition with native vascular plants
Molina-Montenegro, Marco A.; Bergstrom, Dana M.; Chwedorzewska, Katarzyna J.; Convey, Peter; Chown, Steven L. (2019)Biological invasions represent significant economic and conservation challenges, though it is widely acknowledged that their impacts are often poorly documented and difficult to predict. In the Antarctic, one non-native ...

The role of the soil microbiome in the colonisation of glacier forefields by Antarctic pearlwort (Colobanthus quitensis) under current and future climate change scenarios
Acuña-Rodríguez, Ian S; Newsham, Kevin K.; Convey, Peter; Biersma, Elisabeth M.; Ballesteros, Gabriel I.; Torres-Díaz, Cristian; Goodall-Copestake, William P; Molina-Montenegro, Marco A. (2024)Glacier retreat in cold regions exposes new terrain for plant colonization. However, the roles of soil microbiomes in plant establishment and performance on newly-exposed forefields have rarely been assessed. Here, we ...
