Vascular Plants

  • Chapter
Biogeography and Ecology in Antarctica

Part of the book series: Monographiae Biologicae ((MOBI,volume 15))

Abstract

The Antarctic continent has for long occupied an important place in the theories of plant geographers. The presence of an Antarctic land mass formerly joined to other southern lands and with a warmer climate than at present, has been invoked to explain some of the widely disjunct distributions of vascular plants which today inhabit parts of South America, Southern Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and various islands in the Southern Ocean.
