Deskripsi
The Arctic is melting at an unprecedented rate and key drivers are changes in snow and ice albedo. Here, the authors show that red pigmented snow algae play a crucial role in decreasing surface albedo and their patterns for diversity, pigmentation, and consequently albedo, are ubiquitous across the Arctic.
