Is Antarctica going green? Here's why scientists aren’t celebrating this environmental shift
A recent study reveals a dramatic increase in vegetation cover across Antarctica, especially the Antarctic Peninsula, which has expanded over tenfold from 1986 to 2021. Researchers from the University of Exeter and other institutions emphasize the need for urgent research to identify climate change's driving factors and the risks posed by invasive species. This greening trend raises serious concerns about the ecological future of the continent.
