Proglacial slopes are protected against erosion by trait diverse and dense plant communities associated with specific microbial communities

Abstract: Soil erosion is a severe threat for ecosystems and anthropogenic infrastructure. Glaciers are retreating rapidly due to global warming and the receding ice leaves unvegetated depositions of sediment, which are prone to mobilisation during precipitation events. Vegetation is known to ser...
