The paper analyzes viral diversity and functional potential in polar and subarctic sea ice metagenomes, identifying common auxiliary metabolic genes and host interactions.

The paper assesses biodegradation of six bioplastics in the Baltic Sea and identifies microbial communities associated with their degradation.

The paper examines microbial community composition and its impact on wintertime greenhouse gas fluxes in an oroarctic tundra ecosystem, showing that microbial activity explains GHG emissions beyond abiotic factors.

The paper isolates Acidobacteriota viruses from Arctic tundra soils and analyzes metagenome-assembled viral genomes to characterize their diversity and potential interactions with host bacteria.
