Differential colonization and succession of microbial communities in rock and soil substrates on a maritime antarctic glacier forefield
Glacier forefields provide a unique chronosequence to assess microbial or plant
colonization and ecological succession on previously uncolonized substrates. Patterns of …

Influence of prokaryotic microorganisms on initial soil formation along a glacier forefield on King George Island, maritime Antarctica
Compared to the 1970s, the edge of the Ecology Glacier on King George Island, maritime
Antarctica, is positioned more than 500 m inwards, exposing a large area of new terrain to …

Comparison of microbial communities in the sediments and water columns of frozen cryoconite holes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica
Although cryoconite holes, sediment-filled melt holes on glacier surfaces, appear small and
homogenous, their microbial inhabitants may be spatially partitioned. This partitioning could …
