MICROBIAN : Microbial diversity in the Sør Rondane Mountains in a context of climate change
The Sør Rondane Mountains (SRM) represent a c. 900 km² large mountain range, encompassing a large range of terrestrial habitats differing in geology and soil characteristics, exposure time and microclimatic conditions. The objectives of the BelSPO project MICROBIAN are to (i) use a combination of re...
