Gradient analysis of cryoconite ecosystems from two polar glaciers (2003, background): “…et al. 2003), described water chemistry (Blanck et al. 1932), measured physical variables (Gajda 1958), examined the micro-structure of the microbial-sediment association (Takeuchi et al. 2001) and demonstrated metabolic activity (Margesin 2002; Säwström et al. 2002) in cryoconite communities.”
Diversity and functions of microscopic fungi: a missing component in pelagic food webs (2010, background): “Moreover, a great diversity of Basidiomycota yeasts adapted to extremely cold environments (ice, snow and sea ice) has been recovered (Margesin et al. 2002; de Garcia et al. 2007; Libkind et al. 2009).”
Bacteria in Snow and Glacier Ice (2008, background): “Cryoconite holes are considered as eutrophic (nutrient-rich) habitats in the generally oligotrophic habitat of ice and melt waters (Margesin et al. 2002).”
