MICROBIAL DIVERSITY DURING THE POLAR NIGHT TRANSITION IN LAKES OF THE MCMURDO DRY VALLEYS
Terrestrial
McMurdo LTER Science Meeting, 2010, Fort Collins, CO
2010
During the 2007-2008 IPY, we stayed in the MCM during the summer-winter transition. Sampling during the darkness of winter is logistically prohibitive; this study is an important step towards understanding the year round ecology of MCM lakes. This project allowed us to examine ecosystem responses as photosynthetic inputs of new carbon stopped. We hypothesize that the change in season and loss of carbon inputs lead to changes across the lake ecosystems, which may manifest as shifts in microbial community structures.
