Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of local human activities on the Antarctic environment.
Tina Tin,Zoe L. Fleming,Kevin A. Hughes,D.G. Ainley,Peter Convey,Carlos A. Moreno,S. Pfeiffer,J. Scott,Ian Snape +8 more
TL;DR: A review of the scientific literature on the impacts of human activities on the Antarctic environment can be found in this article, where a range of impacts has been identified at a variety of spatial and temporal scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil fertility is associated with fungal and bacterial richness, whereas pH is associated with community composition in polar soil microbial communities
Steven D. Siciliano,Anne S. Palmer,Tristrom Winsley,Tristrom Winsley,Eric G. Lamb,Andrew Bissett,Mark V. Brown,Josie van Dorst,Josie van Dorst,Mukan Ji,Belinda C. Ferrari,Paul Grogan,Haiyan Chu,Haiyan Chu,Ian Snape +14 more
TL;DR: Analysis of microbial activities in Arctic and Antarctic soils indicated that fungal/bacterial interactions play a major, but causally unclear, role in structuring the soil microbial communities of which they are a part.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric trace gases support primary production in Antarctic desert surface soil
Mukan Ji,Chris Greening,Inka Vanwonterghem,Carlo R Carere,Sean K. Bay,Jason A. Steen,Kate Montgomery,Thomas Lines,John Beardall,Josie van Dorst,Ian Snape,Matthew B. Stott,Philip Hugenholtz,Belinda C. Ferrari +13 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that atmospheric H2, CO2 and CO provide dependable sources of energy and carbon to support these communities, which suggests that atmospheric energy sources can provide an alternative basis for ecosystem function to solar or geological energy sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Management and remediation of contaminated sites at Casey Station, Antarctica
Ian Snape,Martin J. Riddle,Jonathan S. Stark,Coleen M. Cole,Catherine K. King,Sabine Duquesne,Damian B. Gore +6 more
TL;DR: In the early 1990s, Australia began the documentation of contaminated sites associated with its research stations, which resulted in an extensive record of contamination at abandoned stations and waste-disposal sites as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
