Article Synopsis
- Nitrogen is a key nutrient for life in glacier forefields, and nitrogen-fixing microorganisms (diazotrophs) are essential for making it available to plants and microbial communities.
- The study focused on diazotrophs in the forefields of three Tibetan glaciers, analyzing soil samples from both barren and vegetated areas to understand their diversity and function.
- Findings showed that recently deglaciated soils contained diverse diazotrophs from anaerobic groups, while vegetated soils were dominated by phototrophic and symbiotic types, with soil characteristics impacting their community structure.
