Glacial melt-down alters hydrological and physico-chemical conditions in downstream
aquatic habitats. In this study, we tested if sediment-associated microbial communities …

Global climate change is causing a wastage of glaciers and threatening biodiversity in
glacier-fed ecosystems. The high turbidity typically found in those ecosystems, which is …

Microbes transported by glacial meltwater streams are thought to be a product of passive
dispersal from both supra-and subglacial sources, though studies investigating the origins of …

Glacial alpine landscapes are undergoing rapid transformation due to changes in climate.
The loss of glacial ice mass has directly influenced hydrologic characteristics of alpine …

Glaciers are geologically important yet transient ecosystems that support diverse,
biogeochemically significant microbial communities. During the melt season glaciers …

The effects of climate change-induced ice melting on the microbial communities in different
glacial-fed aquatic systems have been reported, but seasonal dynamics remain poorly …

Glacier-fed lakes are characterized by cold temperatures, high altitudes, and nutrient-poor
conditions. Despite these challenging conditions, near-surface sediments of glacier-fed …

Stream biofilms are complex aggregates of diverse organism groups that play a vital role in
global carbon and nitrogen cycles. Most of the current studies on stream biofilm focus on a …

The retreat of glaciers in response to climate change has major impacts on the hydrology
and ecosystems of glacier forefield catchments. Microbes are key players in ecosystem …

Glaciers represent important biomes of Earth and are recognized as key species pools for
downstream aquatic environments. Worldwide, rapidly receding glaciers are driving shifts in …
