Antarctica Isn’t Supposed to Be This Green
The effects of the changing climate will continue to impact Antarctica’s growing green landscape. “As these ecosystems become more established—and the climate continues to warm—it’s likely that the extent of greening will increase,” Oliver Bartlett, a researcher at the University of Hertfordshire, and a co-author of the study, said in a statement.
