日本語
気候変動で後退する氷河の露岩域では、微生物群集が土壌形成や養分循環、炭素貯留を通じて生態系の発達を積極的に促進する。しかし、微生物の寄与は気候予測や適応戦略で過小評価されている。本レビューは微生物プロセスを山岳生態系の持続可能性フレームワークに統合する必要性を指摘する。
English
This review argues that microbial communities in recently deglaciated forefields act as active ecosystem engineers, driving soil formation, nutrient cycling, carbon storage, and plant establishment, yet their contributions are often ignored in climate impact assessments. The authors call for integrating microbial processes into mountain sustainability frameworks to improve adaptation and resilience planning.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では日本アルプスなどの山岳生態系が温暖化の影響を受けており、生態系サービスや水資源管理の観点で微生物動態の理解が間接的に有用。ただし、直接のSSBJや開示実務への接続は弱く、基礎科学としての位置づけ。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to global climate change adaptation scholarship by highlighting a neglected biological factor (microbiomes) that influences ecosystem trajectories in post-glacial landscapes. It strengthens the case for nature-based solutions and biodiversity considerations in climate risk assessments, aligning with emerging TNFD and sustainability reporting agendas.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The coldest biomes on Earth are mountains with permanent glaciers and permafrost, vulnerable to climate change. These biomes have experienced marked changes and are projected to undergo accelerated transformation due to elevation-dependent warming. While the physical and vegetative responses to glacial retreat are well documented, associated microbial and biochemical shifts remain poorly understood. During deglaciation, newly exposed forefields undergo rapid physical, chemical, and ecological transitions, selecting for specialised microbial communities that mediate ecosystem development through nutrient cycling, soil formation, carbon storage, and early plant establishment. These early-stage microbiomes should not be viewed as passive responders but as active ecosystem engineers shaping post-glacial landscapes and influencing water quality, biodiversity, and downstream ecosystem services. Ignoring microbial contributions in climate assessments risks underestimating ecosystem trajectories and weakening adaptation strategies. This review highlights the need to integrate microbial processes into mountain sustainability frameworks to support informed management, conservation, and long-term ecosystem resilience.
