Bacterial diversity and community structure along the glacier foreland of Midtre Lovénbreen, Svalbard, Arctic

Polar regions provide an ideal environment to investigate the succession of bacterial communities. In the present study, we investigated the bacterial diversity and community structure of the Midtre Lovénbreen glacier foreland ecosystem using a chronosequence approach. The alpha diversity indices of...
