Fine Scale Patterns and Drivers of Plant Species Richness on a Sub‐Antarctic Island

Cold environments, such as polar systems, are highly vulnerable to global change drivers such as climate change and invasive species. Therefore, it is essential to assess what drives the diversity of native and invasive species in these systems.
