Methane shapes microbial life beneath Greenland ice sheet
A study finds methane concentration is a key factor in microbial communities at the ice sheet margin, with implications for Arctic carbon cycling.
What to know
- Methane concentration is a key determinant of microbial community composition at the Greenland Ice Sheet margin.
- The findings illuminate previously understudied processes governing carbon and methane cycling in the warming Arctic.
- The research was published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology by researchers at Charles University.
“Methane concentration is among the key factors determining the composition of microbial communities at the margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet.”
