[en] Because of their proximity to freezing, climate change is affecting Polar
regions stronger than lower latitude regions. Microbial organisms dominate these regions
and are involved in important ecosystem services, including the uptake and emission of
greenhouse gasses, and are closely linked to environmental and climatic conditions.
However, it is not well known how their biodiversity and functioning will respond to
climate change. Here, we present two projects studying climate change effects on
microbial communities in Arctic and Antarctic lakes and soils.
