Autonome Einblicke in arktische Mikrobiome

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Polar microbial communities are key to ecosystem function and respond sensitively to climate change. Using autonomous sampling and environmental DNA sequencing, we explore year-round microbial dynamics and drivers in the Arctic Fram Strait – revealing how seasonal contrasts, sea-ice cover, and Atlantification shape microbiology, ecology, and biogeochemistry.
