      The southern coast of South Africa displays a highly dynamical climate as it is at the convergence of the Atlantic and Indian oceans, and it is located near the subtropical/temperate zone boundary with seasonal influence ...
    • Nutrient‑limited subarctic caves harbour more diverse and complex bacterial communities than their surface soil 

      Reboleira, Ana Sofia; Bodawatta, Kasun H.; Ravn, Nynne M. R.; Lauritzen, Stein Erik; Skoglund, Rannveig Øvrevik; Poulsen, Michael; Michelsen, Anders; Jønsson, Knud Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background Subarctic regions are particularly vulnerable to climate change, yet little is known about nutrient availability and biodiversity of their cave ecosystems. Such knowledge is crucial for predicting the vulnerability ...
    • Temperature variation in caves and its significance for subterranean ecosystems 

      Medina, Maria J.; Antić, Dragan; Borges, Paulo A V; Borko, Špela; Fišer, Cene; Lauritzen, Stein Erik; Martín, Jose L.; Oromí, Pedro; Pavlek, Martina; Premate, Ester; Puliafico, Ken P.; Sendra, Alberto; Reboleira, Ana Sofia P S (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
