Spatially consistent microbial biomass and future cellular carbon release from melting Northern Hemisphere glacier surfaces

Spatially consistent microbial biomass and future cellular carbon release from melting Northern Hemisphere glacier surfaces

Average microbial biomass loads in glacial melt water are similar despite different environmental settings allowing for estimation of regional carbon export from melting glacier surfaces, according to direct observations at eight northern hemisphere glaciers and two Greenland Ice Sheet sites.
