Warmer Temperatures Affect the in situ Freezing Resistance of the Antarctic Vascular Plants

Although positive effects on growth and reproduction of Antarctic vascular plants have been reported under warmer temperatures, it could also increase the vulnerability of these plants to freezing. Thus, we assessed in situ whether warming decreases the freezing resistance of Colobanthus quitensis a...
