Abstract Digital Soil Mapping includes quantitative estimations of soil attributes in areas with
little or no soil information, being important in remote landscapes such as the Antarctic ice …

Soil texture is one of the most important soil properties as it drives several physical,
chemical, biological, hydrological, and mechanical properties, and processes. In Antarctica …

Extensive areas of penguins' nesting (Pygoscelis sp.), on ice-free areas, account for vast
deposits of organic matter-rich guano in maritime Antarctica. One such area, at Harmony …

The detailed geomorphology of ice‐free landscapes of Antarctica is key to understanding
how their highly fragile environments respond to climate change, at different temporal and …

Abstract Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs) provide the strongest environmental
protection in Antarctica. However, they are not immune from anthropogenic pollution of …

Despite progress in the last decade on periglacial geomorphology and permafrost research
in Antarctica, many areas in Maritime Antarctica remain unsurveyed. This study aimed to …

Coastal areas of Antarctica are subjected to anthropic contamination from around the world
by trace metals biotransported and accumulated by seabird excrements. To explore this …

Studies on the unique terrestrial ecosystems of Antarctica's ice-free areas have potential to
enhance the understanding of the soil/vegetation interplays and ecological relationships of …

Maritime Antarctica is still pedologically unexplored by proximal geophysical sensors. In-
depth soil geophysical characterizations in depth can provide comprehensive information …
