Surface reflectance properties of Antarctic moss and their relationship to plant species, pigment composition and photosynthetic function (2002, background): “In previous work we have found that these three moss species desiccate at different rates and can maintain photosynthetic function at different levels of desiccation (Robinson et al. 2000).”
Living on the edge – plants and global change in continental and maritime Antarctica (2003, unknown): “One exception is the work by Melick & Seppelt (1997), who suggested that the drying trend evident in the Windmill Islands, East Antarctica, is driving an expansion of lichen-dominated vegetation in the region, while the bryophytes are contracting to lower-lying areas with more reliable moisture supp”
Ecophysiology of Desiccation/Rehydration Cycles in Mosses and Lichens (2011, background): “Desiccation tolerance is also not a static property, there is clear evidence that mosses can change their sensitivity seasonally (Beckett and Hoddinott 1997) and with wetness of their habitat ( Robinson et al. 2000 ).”
