Specific place-based and survey studies will explore microbial, algal, and biogeochemical responses to direct warming, retreating cryosphere (glaciers, rock glaciers, and seasonal snow), and atmospheric nitrogen deposition. Long-term watershed monitoring records of precipitation, precipitation the stream/lake chemistry, meteorology, and hydrology are necessary to this research and are to be supported.
