Contrasting Community Composition of Active Microbial Eukaryotes in Melt Ponds and Sea Water of the Arctic Ocean Revealed by High Throughput Sequencing

Melt ponds (MPs), form as the result of thawing of snow and sea ice in the summer, have lower albedo than the sea ice and are thus partly responsible for the polar amplification of global warming. Knowing the community composition of MP organisms is key to understanding their roles in the biogeochem...
