The Lichen Flora and Habitats of the Syowa Region, Continental Antarctica
Abstract The lichen flora and habitats in the Syowa region of continental Antarctica were surveyed. The distribution patterns of lichens appear to reflect habitat salinity, derived from wind-blown sea spray. Some halotolerant species are established in saline habitats where snow dunes are well devel...
