Thaw pond metagenomes
Samples were collected in August 2014 from Kuujjuarapik-Whapmagoostui, an area located close to the Hudson Bay shore in subarctic Canada. The study site has sporadic permafrost (covering < 10% of the total area) and consists of a palsa bog called SAS2. As the palsas thaw, ponds first emerge around the palsa, and in the subsequent phase, the pond replaces the palsa with depths that can reach up to 2m (at the SAS2 site).
