Maritime Antarctica’s harsh abiotic conditions forged simple terrestrial ecosystems, mostly constituted of bryophytes, lichens, and vascular plants. Though biotic interactions are, together with abiotic factors, thought to help shape this ecosystem, influencing species’ distribution and, indirectly, mediating their response to climate, the importance of these interactions is still fairly unknown. We modeled cur...
