Vegetation responses to warming are contingent on water availability and local temperature  , which vary greatly around Antarctica  . Antarctic terrestrial ecosystem responses to changes in water availability are not homogeneous . West Antarctica is showing evidence of greening in the dominant cryptogrammic vegetation, with greater growth in mosses  . Peatland ecosystems may increase on the west Antarctic Peninsula with future warming  . In contrast, some parts of East Antarctica and the subantarctic islands to the north have been experiencing a drying climate, with declining health of mosses and other vegetation  .
