Radiation regimes shape microbial light-harvesting strategies and network organization on glacier surfaces

Glacier cryoconite hosts metabolically active microbial communities despite exposure to solar radiation, which both provides energy and imposes stress. However, how radiation regimes are associated with microbial energy acquisition strategies and ecosystem organization remains un...

Functional niche partitioning influences species turnover across supraglacial microbial communities on the Longxiazai glacier, Tibetan Plateau

Glaciers represent unique ecosystems harboring diverse microbial communities that dominate biomass and drive biogeochemical cycling across supraglacial habitats. These microbes transform deposited modern and ancient carbon/nitrogen, and these elements are subsequently transferred...
