Soil microbial abundance and activity across forefield glacier chronosequence in the Northern Patagonian Ice Field, Chile

In recently deglaciated soils, microbial organisms drive soil transformations by increasing carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools while depleting available phosphorous (P), thus improving plant colonization and soil development. However, the rate of soil development can vary in response to local environ...
