Geochemical zones and environmental gradients for soils from the central Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica
Diaz, Melisa A.; Gardner, Christopher B.; Welch, Susan A.; Jackson, W. Andrew; Adams, Byron J.; Wall, Diana H.; Hogg, Ian D.; Fierer, Noah; Lyons, Berry (European Geosciences Union, 2021)Previous studies have established links between biodiversity and soil geochemistry in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, where environmental gradients are important determinants of soil biodiversity. However, these ... -
Relationship between meteoric ¹⁰Be and NO₃⁻ concentrations in soils along Shackleton Glacier, Antarctica
Diaz, Melisa A.; Corbett, Lee B.; Bierman, Paul R.; Adams, Byron J.; Wall, Diana H.; Hogg, Ian D.; Fierer, Noah; Berry Lyons, W. (European Geosciences Union, 2021)Outlet glaciers that flow through the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) experienced changes in ice thickness greater than other coastal regions of Antarctica during glacial maxima. As a result, ice-free areas that are currently ... -

Seeing the forest for the genes: using metagenomics to infer the aggregated traits of microbial communities
Fierer, Noah; Barberán, Albert; Laughlin, Daniel C. (FRONTIERS RESEARCH FOUNDATION, 2014-11-12)Most environments harbor large numbers of microbial taxa with ecologies that remain poorly described and characterizing the functional capabilities of whole communities remains a key challenge in microbial ecology. Shotgun ... -
Stable isotopes of nitrate, sulfate, and carbonate in soils from the Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica: A record of atmospheric deposition and chemical weathering
Diaz, Melia A.; Li, Jianghanyang; Michalski, Greg; Darrah, Thomas H.; Adams, Byron J.; Wall, Diana H.; Hogg, Ian D.; Fierer, Noah; Welch, Susan A.; Gardner, Christopher B.; Lyons, W. Berry (Frontiers, 2020)Soils in ice-free areas in Antarctica are recognized for their high salt concentrations and persistent arid conditions. While previous studies have investigated the distribution of salts and potential sources in the McMurdo ...
