Prokaryotic richness and diversity increased during Holocene glacier retreat and onset of an Antarctic Lake

Abstract Knowledge about biodiversity changes during transitions from glacial landscape to lake formation is limited to contemporary studies. Here, we combined analyses of lithology, chronology and geochemistry with sedimentary ancient DNA metabarcoding to assess such transition in maritime Antarcti...
