Cover Story: Climate warming involves shifts in plant productivity and distribution, and polar regions are at the forefront of experiencing this change. In Antarctica, mosses are a major component of vegetation, and studying their resilience to change is key to understanding ecosystem functioning. We investigated the photosynthetic response of the moss Bryum argenteum to short-term heatwaves (using closed-top chambers) and long-term gradual warming across the summer season. The moss acclimated its physiology rapidly (within 5 days) in response to short-term warming, resulting in increased net carbon uptake. We suggest this shows high resilience to warmer growing conditions and that the moss is in fact likely to benefit from warming events, whether in the form of heatwaves or longer-term warming.
