Spring thaw ionic pulses boost nutrient availability and microbial growth in entombed antarctic dry valley cryoconite holes

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Jon Telling from the School of Geographical, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK have published the research: Spring thaw ionic pulses boost nutrient availability and microbial growth in entombed Antarctic Dry Valley cryoconite holes, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: The authors aim to test the hypothesis that early melt season ionic pulse events have a significant impact on rates of microbial growth and activity within ice entombed cryoconite holes.
  • how: The results are consistent with a relationship of increasing aqueous nutrient mass with age (Tranter et_al 2004 Bagshaw et_al 2007).
  • future . . .
