    Centro de Ciencias Medioambientales CSIC, Serrano, Madrid, Spain
    FEMS Microbiol Ecol 59:386-95. 2007
    ..This study reveals the presence of at least two different types of endolithic biofilm, dominated each by a single type of cyanobacterium, able to withstand the harsh conditions of the Antarctic climate...

    Oecologia 135:30-8. 2003
    ..The snow did not provide a protected environment, as reported for alpine habitats, but appeared to limit lichen activity. This provides at least one explanation for the observed negative effect of extended snow cover on lichen growth...
