AB  - Despite typically not being taken into account (usually in favour of the 'global 
      distillation' process), the input of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) through 
      biological activities can be indeed relevant at the local scale in terrestrial 
      polar environments when seabird colonies are considered. Seabirds can 
      bioaccumulate and biomagnify POPs, gather in large numbers and excrete on land 
      during their reproductive season, thus making them locally as relevant secondary 
      sources of POPs. The first part of this study indicated that these colonies act 
      as so for several essential and non-essential trace elements, and this second 
      part tests the same hypothesis concerning POPs using the very same samples. 
      Lichens (n = 55), mosses (n = 58) and soil (n = 37) were collected from 13 
      locations in the South Shetlands Archipelago during the austral summers of 
      2013-14 and 2014-15. They were divided in colony (within the colony itself for 
      soil and within and surrounding the colony for vegetation) and control (at least 
      150 m away from any colony interference) and analysed for POPs such as 
      organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated 
      diphenyl ethers and stable isotopes (C and N). Results showed that colonies act 
      clearly as a secondary source for PCBs and likely for hexachlorobenzene. As in 
      the first part, probable local sources other than the colonies themselves are 
      hypothesised because of high concentrations found in control sites. Again, soil 
      seemed the most adequate matrix for the intended purposes especially because of 
      some particularities in the absorption of animal-derived organic matter by 
      vegetation, pointed out by stable isotope analyses.
