Researchers will investigate the influence of snow on the composition and spatial distribution of soil microbial communities and linked biogeochemical cycling. They will conduct repeated remote-sensing datasets during the summer to characterize snow distribution at the landscape scale and perform plot scales to quantify snow patch ablation and microbial communities and soil processes at the patch scale.
