Carbon Pathways Through the Food Web of a Microbial Mat From Byers Peninsula, Antarctica
Microbial mats are complex communities that represent a large biomass fraction in non-marine Antarctic ecosystems. They confer structure to soils and constitute, by themselves, intricate microecosystems, where a great variety of microorganisms and microfauna contributes to the ecosystem functions. A...
