Diversity and phylogeny of microbial florae in Polar regions : an IPY core project

这项研究是作为2007-2008国际极地年（IPY）的核心项目进行的。在全球环境变化中，全球变暖影响最大的地区是极地，微生物对全球变暖的反应也最迅速。因此，这项研究的目标是生活在极地和高山地区的微生物的生态方面;并导致了IPY的微生物生态数据集的遗产，包括社区结构，丰度和地方性和世界性物种的出现。国际和平年的遗产应作为今后监测工作的基本参考。

This study was conducted as a core program of the International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-2008. Among the global environmental changes, global warming affects the most polar regions, and microorganisms would respond to warming the most promptly. This study thus targeted at ecological aspects of microorganisms living in polar and alpine regions ; and, resulted in an IPY legacy of the microbiological-ecological dataset with community structures, abundances, and occurrences of endemic and cosmopolite species. The IPY legacy should serve as a basic reference for future monitorings.
