Antarctica Is Going Green—but Not in a Good Way
Although Antarctica doesn’t have good soil, these mossy pioneer plants could create richer habitats that could be ripe for invasive species to take hold of the continent. Filled with dense vegetation,
Antarctica Isn’t Supposed to Be This Green
The effects of the changing climate will continue to impact Antarctica’s growing green landscape. “As these ecosystems become more established—and the climate continues to warm—it’s likely that the extent of greening will increase,” Oliver Bartlett, a researcher at the University of Hertfordshire, and a co-author of the study, said in a statement.
Greening of Antarctica shows how climate change affects the frozen continent
The findings, published Friday in Nature Geoscience, based on a meticulous analysis of Landsat images from 1986 to 2021, show that the greening trend is distinct from natural variability and that it has accelerated by 30 percent since 2016, fast enough to cover nearly 75 football fields per year.

Antarctica turns green faster than predicted, alarming experts
Antarctica is greening faster than scientists predicted. According to researchers, satellite image analyses show that the green areas in Antarctica are ten times more extensive than 40 years ago. The expansion of green areas in Antarctica is currently ten times larger than it was 40 years ago,
