Bacteria and fungi in subarctic sand dune succession
Bacterial and fungal communities with primary succession in arctic sand dunes
This project compares bacterial and fungal communities in six vegetation stages in subarctic sand dunes (bare sand, sand with grass, sand with moss, lichen crust, ericoid heath and mountain birch forest). The aim is to clarify the drivers of microbial communities in plant primary succession. This information can help restoration efforts of eroded arctic soils.
