Microbial ecology of the cryosphere: sea ice and glacial habitats
The Earth's cryosphere comprises those regions that are cold enough for water to turn into
ice. Recent findings show that the icy realms of polar oceans, glaciers and ice sheets are …

[HTML][HTML] Snow and ice ecosystems: not so extreme
Snow and ice environments cover up to 21% of the Earth's surface. They have been
regarded as extreme environments because of their low temperatures, high UV irradiation …

Lichen-associated microbial members are prevalent in the snow microbiome of a sub-arctic alpine tundra
Snow is the largest component of the cryosphere, with its cover and distribution rapidly
decreasing over the last decade due to climate warming. It is imperative to characterize the …

Microbial biogeography along a 2578 km transect on the East Antarctic Plateau
Microorganisms are present in snow/ice of the Antarctic Plateau, but their biogeography and
metabolic state under extreme local conditions are poorly understood. Here, we show the …
