Performance and bio complexity of the criptogamic cover in arid and polar regions

The present thesis titled ‘Performance and bio-complexity of the criptogamic cover in arid and polar regions’ aims to understand how lichens and bryophytes modulate their physiological response pattern in order to maximize the fitness in the Tabernas Desert (south of Spain), and Livingston Island (m...
