Water availability, temperature, and UV-B have been identified as three key drivers for vegetation health in Antarctica. Despite this, there have been few long-term studies of the response of Antarctic vegetation to climate change, especially on the continent. Most focus on the Antarctic Peninsula, where dramatic shifts in recorded temperature (of up to5◦C ) have resulted in the subsequent expansion of local plant communities, and a small number of studies have documented climate-induced change in terrestrial communities in Continental Antarctica.
