Methyl-coenzyme M reductase alpha subunit (mcrA) transcripts from Arctic tundra soil near Utqiagvik, Alaska, 2018
When wet Arctic tundra soils begin to freeze in the fall, an unfrozen layer remains between the frozen surface and deeper permafrost layers. This period is known as the zero curtain, as liquid water keeps the temperature of this soil layer near 0 Celsius (C) while latent heat is gradually dissipated...
