Welcome!
Welcome to the blog of the ExPoSoils project, where we will update you about the project, events, results, and more! ExPoSoils (Climate change experiments in Arctic and Antarctic polar desert soils) aims at studying the effects of increased temperature and snow cover on the biodiversity and genetic functional potential of microbial communities in polar desert and tundra soils in the Arctic and Antarctica, and consolidating the long-term monitoring of ecosystem responses to climate change in these regions. ExPoSoils is a BelSPO IMPULS funded project. The project is a collaboration between researchers at Ghent University, Liège University and the Institute of Natural Sciences. Prof. Dr. Elie Verleyen (Protistology and Aquatic Ecology, UGent), project leader. Collaborators: Dr. Bjorn Tytgat, Dr. Valentina Savaglia, Prof. Dr. Wim Vyverman, Ruben Van Daele.
