Distribution of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in a moss community‐soil system developed on a cold desert in Antarctica
Abstract The distributions of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in a moss community‐soil system developed on a naked region in Rundvågskollane (69 0 50'S, 39 0 09'E), East Antarctica, were investigated in order to analyze the flow of matter in an Antarctic terrestrial ecosystem. The moss com...
