My favorite research site is on Litchfield Island, where there are veritable moss carpets. Antarctica has no native woody plants, so the vegetated landscape is truly unique. Will mosses thrive more in a warmer world? That is one of my major research questions. Open-top chambers (resembling "cones of shame") warm the air inside. It's a pretty nifty design for a warming treatment in the field. ACA permit 2023-007
