Soil microbial community data in the glacier forelands in Svalbard, 2011
The research area involves the deglaciated region in Vestre Lovenbreen and Midtre Lovenbreen which are located in Kongsfijorden in Svalvard, Norway. We collected our soil samples along a transect in each glacier. We are analyzing soil properties and microorganism community structure. Due to the climate change, glaciers have been retreated, and soil underneath glacier is getting exposed greatly. These changes affect the ecosystems of these region. Although many studies have been done in the field of vegetation succession along the glacier chronosequence, little is known about microbial community structure and characteristics of soil carbon in glacier forelands. This research mainly focused on how glacier retreat influences the community structure of microorganism and soil organic carbon.
