Direct and Indirect Effects of Penguin Feces on Microbiomes in Antarctic Ornithogenic Soils

Direct and Indirect Effects of Penguin Feces on Microbiomes in Antarctic Ornithogenic Soils

Expansion of penguin activity in maritime Antarctica, under ice thaw, increases the chances of penguin feces affecting soil microbiomes. The detail of such effects begins to be revealed. By comparing soil geochemistry and microbiome composition inside (one site) and outside (three sites) of the rook...
