Bacterial communities of cryoconite holes of a temperate alpine glacier show both seasonal trends and year-to-year variability

Cryoconite holes are small depressions of the glacier surface filled with melting water and with a wind-blown debris on the bottom. These environments are considered hot spots of biodiversity and biological activities on glaciers and host communities dominated by bacteria. Most of the studies on cry...
