Multiscale Microbial Preservation and Biogeochemical Signals in a Modern Hot-Spring Siliceous Sinter Rich in CO 2 Emissions, Krýsuvík Geothermal Field, Iceland
The microbial communities inferred in silica sinter rocks, based on multiscale morphological features (fabrics and textures) and the presence of lipid biomarkers and their carbon isotopic composition, are evaluated in the Krýsuvík geothermal area of Iceland. Close to vent environments ( T > 75 °C...
