Abstract
The objective of this book was to present a most recent compilation of our knowledge on soils of Antarctic coastal landscapes. Further, we have tried to compare soils and their biological features from two different climatic regions. These regions have been under investigation for different scientific aspects for many years. Despite national focal points of research, several projects show overlap, e.g. studies on plants, animals or meteorological observations.
