Functional Diversity of Microbial Communities in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica
In dryland ecosystems species richness for all domains decreases with increasing aridity. Several environmental stressors (desiccation, thermal and radiation stress) in hyper-arid drylands limit the complex life forms, thus microorganisms comprise most of the standing biomass and diversity in this p...
