The datasetWe curated and explored 695 published 16S rRNA gene samples from cryospheric ecosystems (Methods section and Supplementary Table 7), including polar ice sheets, mountain glaciers and their proglacial lakes, permafrost soils and the coastal ocean under the influence of glacier runoff, and compared these to 3552 published 16S rRNA gene samples from non-cryospheric ecosystems, including temperate and tropical lakes and soils (Supplementary Table 7). This approach allowed us to identify and explore features specific to the cryospheric microbiome and compare it to other environmental microbiomes. However, we note a geographical bias towards polar regions in current publicly available repositories, and the paucity of alpine samples specifically highlights the need to further characterise these habitats given that they are among the most endangered cryospheric ecosystems globally. This bias is further compounded by the inconsistent methodologies applied across studies (e.g. primer pairs and sequencers used). To account for potential primer biases, we analysed two 16S rRNA primer pairs (Primer Pair 1, PP1: 341f-785r; Primer Pair 2, PP2: 515f-806r)12,13 commonly used in amplicon high-throughput sequencing. In total, this dataset contains 241,502,708 paired sequence reads, resulting in 530,254 and 410,931 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) for PP1 and PP2, respectively. Moreover, all taxonomic analyses were performed at the genus level, to account for the limitations of 16s rRNA amplicon data. To gain deeper insights into the functional space of the cryospheric microbiome, we compared 34 published metagenomes from cryospheric ecosystems with 56 metagenomes from similar but non-cryospheric ecosystems (Fig. 1A). Given the difficulty of obtaining high-quality metagenomes from cryospheric ecosystems, we restricted our analyses to glacier surfaces, ice-covered lakes, and Antarctic soils. Although our analyses were limited to samples where raw sequence data are available (Methods section), the breadth of habitats covered are representative of the most abundant cryospheric ecosystems, e.g., glacier ice, cryoconites, subglacial lakes and sea ice. On the other hand, several niches such as glacier snow, glacier-fed rivers/streams, and the full-breadth of permafrost may not entirely be represented due to data unavailability. We reanalysed all metagenomes using the same bioinformatic pipeline (IMP3; see Methods section) to avoid analytical biases. Overall, the metagenomic analyses from 2,427,818,072 paired reads yielded 41,068,842 gene sequences. Thus, we here present a catalogue representing a snapshot of the functional diversity in the cryospheric microbiome, integrating across diverse habitats. This represents what we believe to be the first global overview of the functional repertoire of the Earth’s cryosphere compared to other ecosystems.Fig. 1: A unique cryospheric microbiome.A Geographic distribution of the 16 S rRNA gene samples for the two primer pairs (PP) and metagenomes for both cryospheric and non-cryospheric ecosystems, where GPS coordinates were available on NCBI. Symbol size denotes the number of samples per site (see Supplementary Table 7). B Phylogenetic tree based on abundant ASVs ( >0.5% relative abundance in at least one sample) in the PP1 dataset. The heatmap (inner rings) shows the presence (at a  > 0.5% relative abundance threshold) of ASVs in the four ecosystem types of the cryosphere (ice and snow, terrestrial, coastal ocean and freshwater). The barplot (outer ring) represents the coefficient for the SVM classifier analysis, highlighting discriminating ASVs. C Sorensen’s phylogenetic index of β-diversity (n1 = n2 = 84,461 for PP1, and n1 = n2 = 99,000 for PP2) and D β-MNTD calculated across pairs of samples in the cryospheric samples (Cryo-Cryo), pairs of cryospheric and non-cryospheric samples (Cryo-Others) and pairs of non-cryospheric (Others-Others) samples (sample sizes are listed in Supplementary Table 2). The top panel (shades of blue) is for PP1, the bottom one (shades of red) for PP2; two-sided Wilcoxon tests were performed to assess significance in panels C and D; the Holm method was used to correct for multiple testing (****: 0–0.0001). Boxplots depict the median and the 25th and 75th quartiles, whiskers extend to values within 1.5 times the interquartile range, and the remaining points are outliers. Effect sizes and exact p-values are available in Supplementary Table 2. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.Full size imageA cryospheric microbiomeGiven the communal constraints imposed by the harsh environment of cryospheric ecosystems (e.g., low temperature, oligotrophy), we expected them to harbour a specific microbiome. Accordingly, machine-learning classification (logistic regression models, Methods) based on community composition was able to differentiate between cryospheric and non-cryospheric microbiomes with high accuracy (balanced accuracy >0.96, Supplementary Table 1). Both primer pairs consistently yielded a high classification accuracy and especially a high precision. Interestingly, many of the discriminating cryospheric ASVs were spread widely across the bacterial tree of life (Fig. 1A and Supplementary Fig. 1).The notion that a part of the microbiome is specific to the cryosphere is also strongly supported by phylogenetic analyses of the 16 S rRNA gene amplicon dataset. First, we found higher pairwise phylogenetic overlap among cryospheric samples than among cryospheric/non-cryospheric or non-cryospheric samples (Sorensen’s index, Fig. 1C; Wilcoxon test, Holm adj. p  More
