Homogeneous environmental selection structures the bacterial communities of benthic biofilms in proglacial floodplain streams
In proglacial floodplains, glacier recession promotes biogeochemical and ecological
gradients across relatively small spatial scales. The resulting environmental heterogeneity …

Benthic biofilms in glacier-fed streams from Scandinavia to the Himalayas host distinct bacterial communities compared with the streamwater
Microbial life in glacier-fed streams (GFSs) is dominated by benthic biofilms which fulfill
critical ecosystem processes. However, it remains unclear how the bacterial communities of …
