Storage and export of microbial biomass across the western Greenland Ice Sheet

Storage and export of microbial biomass across the western Greenland Ice Sheet

Microbes that colonise ice sheet surfaces are important to the carbon cycle, but their biomass and transport remains unquantified. Here, the authors reveal substantial microbial carbon fluxes across Greenland’s ice surface, in quantities that may sustain subglacial heterotrophs and fuel methanogenes...
