Soluble carbohydrate content variation in sanionia uncinata and polytrichastrum alpinum, two antarctic mosses with contrasting desiccation capacities

Background: Cryptogamic vegetation dominates the ice-free areas along the Antarctic Peninsula. The two mosses Sanionia uncinata and Polytrichastrum alpinum inhabit soils with contrasting water availability. Sanionia uncinata grows in soil with continuous
