"Unprecedented Plant Growth in Antarctica Raises Concerns among Scientists"

Antarctica is experiencing rapid plant growth, with a surge in population and accelerated growth rates of native plant species due to climate change. Researchers studied the evolution of two indigenous plant species over a decade and found significant growth, potentially driven by rising global temperatures and declining seal populations. This growth poses risks to biodiversity and ecosystems, as invasive species could threaten native plants and reshape the continent's landscape. The findings highlight the urgent need to address climate change and its impacts on delicate ecosystems.
