Where land surface air temperature data are not available, satellite land surface temperature are used. However, the coarse spatial resolution of satellite‐derived products may yield errors at the local scale. This work shows the differences between the MODIS Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity (MOD11A1) product and ground measurements at two different scales. We used data from 21 SNOTEL stations across the northern Front...

Aim Antarctica's remote and extreme terrestrial environments are inhabited by only two species of native vascular plants. We assessed genetic connectivity amongst Antarctic and South American populations of one of these species, Colobanthus quitensis , to determine its origin and age in Antarctica. Location Maritime Antarctic, sub‐Antarctic islands, South America. Taxon Antarctic pearlwort Colobanthus quitensis (Caryophyllacea...
