Which of the following factors are contributing to the increase in vegetation in the Antarctic Peninsula?
Decrease in sea ice extent.
Increase in air and ground temperatures.
Enhanced soil fertility due to warmer conditions.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Correct
Ans: D
Exp:
Plant cover across the Antarctic Peninsula, a long, mountainous extension of Antarctica that points north towards South America, has increased more than 10 times over the past few decades due to rising temperatures, a new study says.
Factors contributing to the vegetation in the Antarctic:
Statement 1 is correct: Decrease in sea ice extent: The reduction in sea ice has led to warmer, wetter conditions in the Antarctic Peninsula, which favours the growth of vegetation.
Warmer open seas may increase moisture availability, promoting plant life, especially mosses and lichens. Therefore, this factor contributes to the increase in vegetation.
Statement 2 is correct: Increase in air and ground temperatures: Rising temperatures in the Antarctic Peninsula, warming five times faster than the global average, are a key driver of vegetation growth.
Higher temperatures create a more favourable environment for plant life to spread in regions that were previously too cold.
Statement 3 is correct: Enhanced soil fertility due to warmer conditions: The increase in plant life, particularly mosses, leads to the accumulation of organic matter, which helps in soil formation.
This soil formation, though still in its early stages, provides a better environment for plant growth, supporting further greening.
