Resilient algae may speed up Greenland ice melt

74% Informative
New research reveals that ice algae can store nutrients which may enable them to colonize more of the ice sheet, darkening and melting it.
During spring and summer the algae blooms creating large patches of darkened ice.
The algae contains brown pigment which darkens the ice, in turn, making the ice melt faster.
Ice algae are very efficient in taking up limited nutrients on the ice.
They have the capability of storing phosphorus, which is crucial for their metabolism.
The knowledge on the algae's nutrient requirements can help us to better predict their future role in the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet .
