The Southern Islands Vascular Flora (SIVFLORA) dataset is a globally significant, open-access resource that compiles essential biodiversity data on vascular plants from islands across the Ocean. SIVFLORA was generated through five steps: study area delimitation, compiling dataset, validating and harmonizing taxonomy, structuring attributes, establishing file format open access. Covering major taxonomic divisions, offers comprehensive overview of plant occurrences, comprising 14,589 records...
Five macrolichens of different thallus morphology from Antarctica (King George Island) were used for this ecophysiological study. The effect desiccation on primary photosynthetic processes was examined. We investigated the lichens’ responses to relative water content (RWC) in their thalli during transition a wet (RWC 100%) dry state 0%). slow Kautsky kinetics chlorophyll fluorescence (ChlF) that recorded controlled dehydration decreased 100 0%) and supplemented with quenching analysis...
Climate warming in the Antarctic tundra will affect locally dominant cryptogams. Being adapted to low temperatures and freezing, little is known about response of polar lichens' primary photochemistry desiccation. Since 2008, we have monitored ecophysiological responses lichens future scenario during a long-term experiment through open top chambers (OTCs) on Fildes Peninsula. We studied photochemical (potential Fv/Fm effective efficiency photosystem II YPSII) different lichen taxa...
New records of fungi, forming two associations with contrasting fruiting body morphology and ecological preferences are reported from the Chilean desert, viz.: agaricoid Conocybe cf. tenera Coprinus comatus associated riparian grassy environments in high Andean Nevado Tres Cruces National Park gasteroid Geastrum floriforme Tulostoma spp. together sequestrate Montagnea arenaria, all xerophilic shrub vegetation on sand coastal fog zone Pan de Azúcar Park.
