Effects of chitin and temperature on sub-Arctic soil microbial and fungal communities and biodegradation of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT)

Climate warming in the Arctic and the thawing of frozen carbon stocks is leading touncertainty as to how microbial communities will respond, including pollutant degrading bacteria and fungi. This study investigated the effects of carbon stimulation and temperature on soil microbial community diversity and explosive biodegradation in two sub-Arctic soils.
