Antarctic terrestrial soils represent one of the most extreme environments on Earth.  Once thought to be largely sterile, it is now known that these diverse and often specialized extreme habitats harbor a very wide range of different microorganisms. Antarctic soil communities are relatively simple, but not unsophisticated.  Recent phylogenetic and microscopic studies have demonstrated that these communities have well established trophic structuring, and play a significant role in nutrient cycling in these cold, and often dry desert ecosystems. They are surprisingly responsive to change, and potentially sensitive to climatic perturbation. Antarctic terrestrial soils also harbor specialized ?refuge?habitats, where microbial communities develop under (and within) translucent rocks. These cryptic habitats offer unique models for understanding the physical and biological ?drivers? of community development, function and evolution. 606 $aMicrobial ecology 606 $aBacteriology 606 $aMicrobial genetics 606 $aMicrobial genomics 606 $aGeology 606 $aMicrobial Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19082 606 $aBacteriology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L23012 606 $aMicrobial Genetics and Genomics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32010 606 $aGeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17002 607 $aAntarctic Regions 607 $aAntarctica$2fast 607 $aAntarktis$2gnd 615 0$aMicrobial ecology. 615 0$aBacteriology. 615 0$aMicrobial genetics. 615 0$aMicrobial genomics. 615 0$aGeology. 615 14$aMicrobial Ecology. 615 24$aBacteriology. 615 24$aMicrobial Genetics and Genomics. 615 24$aGeology. 676 $a551 676 $a570 676 $a579.135 676 $a579.17 702 $aCowan$b Don A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298300303321 996 $aAntarctic Terrestrial Microbiology$92508870 997 $aUNINA
