Great to see the final formatted version now published. @neatuomela.bsky.social led a concept-chllenging study about how thawing/degrading #permafrost palsas do not necessarily result in organic matter and the associated bacteria reaching the connected waters Link: academic.oup.com/ismecommun/a...

Carbon and microbes in a degrading palsa mire are distinct from a peatland and a wider connected sub-Arctic fluvial system
Abstract. Climate change is altering the biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nutrients in the northern peatland and permafrost regions, which provide two

Final format of my first article is now out! We discovered that degrading palsa permafrost might not lead into higher loading of organic matter into the river system. Also, we discovered that microbial communities were dominated by ultra-small Patescibacteria 🦠

First paper from Nea’s PhD is out! DOC and ultra-small bacteria in thawing palsa and palsa ponds. In 2026 the focus will be on those ultra-small microbes 🦠

Thrilled to present a poster in #FEMS2025 Milan! Find me today at Poster Area A21 to learn about microbes and carbon in a river system affected by permafrost and peatland 🦠

Super happy to see this is now available.....I am hugely biased of course, but ⬇️ is highly pertinent for the discussions about rapidly thawing #Arctic inland permafrost systems
