| dc.description.abstract | THE INCREASE IN TEMPERATURE AS CONSEQUENCE OF THE RECENT GLOBAL WARMING HAS BEEN REPORTED TO GENERATE NEW ICE-FREE AREAS IN THE ANTARCTIC CONTINENT, FACILITATING THE COLONIZATION AND SPREAD OF PLANT POPULATIONS. CONSEQUENTLY, ANTARCTIC VASCULAR PLANTS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED EXTENDING THEIR SOUTHERN DISTRIBUTION. BUT AS THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS TOWARD SOUTHERN LOCALITIES BECOME PROGRESSIVELY MORE DEPARTED FROM THE SPECIES PHYSIOLOGICAL OPTIMUM, THE ECOPHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES AND SURVIVAL TO THE EXPECTED GLOBAL WARMING COULD BE REDUCED. HOWEVER, IF PROCESSES OF LOCAL ADAPTATION ARE THE MAIN CAUSE OF THE OBSERVED SOUTHERN EXPANSION, THOSE POPULATIONS COULD APPEAR CONSTRAINED TO RESPOND POSITIVELY TO THE EXPECTED GLOBAL WARMING. USING INDIVIDUALS FROM THE SOUTHERN TIP OF SOUTH AMERICA, THE SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS AND THE ANTARCTIC PENINSULA, WE ASSESS WITH A LONG TERM EXPERIMENT (THREE YEARS) UNDER CONTROLLED CONDITIONS IF THE RESPONSIVENESS OF COLOBANTHUS QUITENSIS POPULATIONS TO THE EXPECTED GLOBAL WARMING, IS RELATED WITH THEIR DIFFERENT FOLIAR TRAITS AND PHOTOPROTECTIVE MECHANISMS ALONG THE LATITUDINAL GRADIENT. IN ADDITION, WE TESTED IF THE RELEASE OF THE STRESS CONDITION BY THE GLOBAL WARMING IN THESE COLD ENVIRONMENTS INCREASES THE ECOPHYSIOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE. FOR THIS, WE DESCRIBE THE LATITUDINAL PATTERN OF NET PHOTOSYNTHETIC CAPACITY, BIOMASS ACCUMULATION, AND NUMBER OF FLOWERS UNDER CURRENT AND FUTURE TEMPERATURES RESPECTIVE TO EACH SITE OF ORIGIN AFTER THREE GROWING SEASONS. OVERALL, WAS FOUND A CLINAL TREND WAS FOUND IN THE FOLIAR TRAITS AND PHOTOPROTECTIVE MECHANISMS IN THE EVALUATED C. QUITENSIS POPULATIONS. | |
