Description

Climate change is having a dramatic impact on the natural environment and is one of the most imminent and important issues of the 21st century. With limited vegetation and few large terrestrial organisms, Antarctica offers a unique opportunity to understand the impact of abiotic, climatic factors on microbial ecosystems (free of many of the confounding biological variables in more complex systems). Recent in situ studies indicate that microbial communities within Antarctic soils may respond t...
