Do Cryoconite Holes Have the Potential to be Significant Sources of C, N, and P to Downstream Depauperate

Nutrient recycling occurs in hydrologically isolated cryoconite holes on the glaciers of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica. Biogeochemical processes enrich the cryoconite holes with solute and nutrients compared to the source sediment and glacier ice. The position of the glacier within the landsca...
