This scientific paper explores methods to estimate microbial mat biomass in Antarctica’s McMurdo Dry Valleys using satellite imagery combined with field observations. Researchers conducted systematic surveys across several sites while collecting samples measuring parameters such as percentage coverage, organic matter density via AFDM measurements, alongside concentrations of pigments indicative of life — namely Chlorophyll-a, Carotenoids, Scytonemin.
