Prevalence and dynamics of antimicrobial resistance in pioneer and developing Arctic soils by Shamik Roy, Robin A. Dawson, James A. Bradley, Marcela Hernández

“…Their abundance generally increases with soil age but at different rates overall and across different glacier forefields. Our analyses suggest a strong positive relationship between soil age and ARGs and ARB, which we attribute to increased competition between microbes in older soils. …”
