Return of the megaherbs: plant colonisation of derelict ANARE station buildings on sub-Antarctic Heard Island
From the abstract of the referenced paper: Buildings were constructed and artefacts left behind on sub-Antarctic Heard Island, associated with Antarctic research expeditions since 1926. Both bryophytes and vascular plants are colonising many parts of the now derelict buildings. On these structure... (Read more)
Assessing UV-B induced DNA damage in Antarctic plants: is desiccation a compounding factor?
Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 1310 See the link below for public details on this project. ---- Public Summary from Project ---- Increasing UV-radiation over Antarctica each spring may damage DNA in plants. This research determined the susceptibility of Antarctic plants to such damage a... (Read more)
Can remote sensing be used to map vegetation and monitor community change in Antarctica?
This dataset consists of Hyperion satellite imagery, as well as GPS ground truthing of vegetation quadrats. The aims of this project were: 1. to produce a spectral library of the major subantarctic terrestrial plant species and community types from ground spectroradiometery measurements . 2. to use...

Understanding the impact of change on Australia's World Heritage subantarctic islands
Metadata record for data from AAS (ASAC) Project 3095. Public Global warming and the impact of feral animals or weedy plant species are causing changes in terrestrial sub-Antarctic ecosystems. We are examining how sub-Antarctic organisms and ecosystems will respond to this change. In doing so we w... (Read more)

Macquarie Island Invertebrate Abundance Data
Analysis of Invertebrate abundance from soil cores on Macquarie Island. In the summer of 1986-87, total invertebrate abundances were measured quantitatively at eight sites, representing four vegetation types: feldmark, Stilbocarpa herbfield, Pleurophyllum meadow and Poa foliosa tall tussock grassla...
