Phototrophic microflora colonizing substrates of man-made origin in Billefjorden Region, Central Svalbard
Substrates created by human have a significant impact on Arctic terrestrial environment. These substrates are new potential niche for microbial biota, which may have several essential chemical agents supporting microbial growth. Wood, concrete, brick, ceramic and other different building materials,...

Substrates created by human have a significant impact on Arctic terrestrial environment.
