Journal ArticleDOI
First evidence of microplastic contamination in the supraglacial debris of an alpine glacier
Roberto Ambrosini,Roberto Sergio Azzoni,F Pittino,Guglielmina Diolaiuti,Andrea Franzetti,Marco Parolini +5 more
TL;DR: The occurrence of microplastic on Forni Glacier may be due to the gathering of debris coming from the large accumulation area into the relatively smaller ablation area of the glacier, as a consequence of its flow and melting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glacier algae foster ice-albedo feedback in the European Alps.
B. Di Mauro,Roberto Garzonio,Giovanni Baccolo,Andrea Franzetti,F Pittino,Barbara Leoni,D. Remias,Roberto Colombo,Micol Rossini +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the biological darkening of glaciers is also occurring in the European Alps, and thus it is a global process that must be taken into account when considering the positive feedback mechanisms related to glacier melting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial communities of cryoconite holes of a temperate alpine glacier show both seasonal trends and year-to-year variability
F Pittino,Maurizio Maglio,Isabella Gandolfi,Roberto Sergio Azzoni,Guglielmina Diolaiuti,Roberto Ambrosini,Andrea Franzetti +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the variation of the bacterial communities of cryoconite holes of Forni Glacier during the melting seasons (July-September) 2013 and 2016, for which samples at three and five time-points, respectively were available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early ecological succession patterns of bacterial, fungal and plant communities along a chronosequence in a recently deglaciated area of the Italian Alps
Andrea Franzetti,F Pittino,Isabella Gandolfi,Roberto Sergio Azzoni,Guglielmina Diolaiuti,Claudio Smiraglia,Manuela Pelfini,Chiara Compostella,Benedetta Turchetti,P. Buzzini,Roberto Ambrosini +10 more
TL;DR: In this study, the early ecological succession patterns of Forni Glacier forefield along 18-year long chronosequence has been reported, suggesting that the early phase of the chronosquence could be mainly shaped by the biologically controlled bioavailability of metals and inorganic compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
A hole in the nematosphere: tardigrades and rotifers dominate the cryoconite hole environment, whereas nematodes are missing
