A chronosequence of soil samples, taken over the 1992-3 austral summer, was used to evaluate the bacterial response to simulated climate change brought about by passive greenhouses (cloches) placed on fellfield soil at Signy Island, maritime Antarctic. Bacterial numbers, electron transfer chain (ETS...
