Marked Seasonal Changes in the Microbial Production, Community Composition and Biogeochemistry of Glacial Snowpack Ecosystems in the Maritime Antarctic
We describe seasonal changes in the biogeochemistry, microbial community and ecosystem production of two glacial snowpacks in the maritime Antarctic during a cold summer. Frequent snowfall and low, intermittent melt on the glaciers suppressed surface photosynthesis and promoted net heterotrophy. Con...
