Active microbial ecosystem in glacier basal ice fuelled by iron and silicate comminution‐derived hydrogen

Active microbial ecosystem in glacier basal ice fuelled by iron and silicate comminution‐derived hydrogen

Abstract The basal zone of glaciers is characterized by physicochemical properties that are distinct from firnified ice due to strong interactions with underlying substrate and bedrock. Basal ice (BI) ecology and the roles that the microbiota play in biogeochemical cycling, weathering, and proglacia...
