Background Cyanobacteria are major primary producers in extreme cold ecosystems. Many
lineages of cyanobacteria thrive in these harsh environments, but it is not fully understood …

Cyanobacteria are major primary producers in the polar and alpine regions contributing
significantly to nitrogen and carbon cycles in the cryosphere. Recent advancements in …

Cyanobacterial diversity in soil crusts has been extensively studied in arid lands of
temperate regions, particularly semi-arid steppes and warm deserts. Nevertheless, Arctic …

The hydrographic properties of the Kongsfjorden–Krossfjorden system (79° N, Spitsbergen)
are affected by Atlantic water incursions as well as glacier meltwater runoff. This results in …

The Arctic is undergoing rapid environmental change, potentially affecting the
physicochemical constraints of microbial communities that play a large role in both carbon …

Cyanobacteria associated with biological soil crusts (BSCs) have important attributes, such
as nitrogen fixation and soil stabilisation. However, research on these organisms has been …

Cyanobacteria often account for a large and sometimes dominant fraction of phototrophic
biomass and primary production in high latitude lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands …

Anthropogenic forcing is spurring cyanobacterial proliferation in aquatic ecosystems
worldwide. While planktonic cyanobacterial blooms have received substantial research …
