Full description

The data are comprised of a spreadsheet with locations (latitude and longitude) and labels for moss bed quadrats. The quadrats are located in two sites: Antarctic Specially Protected Area 135 (formerly Site of Special Scientific Interest 16) near Casey Station; and on Robertson Ridge south of Casey. The letter in the quadrant label indicates the vegetation community type: before bryophyte, M for transitional and A for lichen. The original 60 quadrats are now described in metadata record "AAS_4046_quadrat_locations". This metadata record describes nine additional locations for associated work conducted at the sites in 2007-08 by Ellen Ryan-Colton. The latitude and longitude were collected using a handheld GPS. The quadrats are identified by markers in the field comprised of small metal discs glued to rocks.

Moss bed and Antarctic vegetation are generally rare and fragile in Antarctica. Mapping the exact location of moss bed is very useful for management of protected areas and the follow up of biological research work.

This work was completed as part of ASAC Project 1313 (ASAC_1313), Impact of global climate change on Antarctic flora: long-term monitoring and ecophysiological studies of bryophyte community dynamics in the Windmill Islands.
