Short summary
We described the temporal and vertical changes in biological communities, including snow algae, microinvertebrates, and snow fungi, within snowpacks in Northern Japan. Temporal changes in microbial activity, showing clear shifts across three defined periods of the melting season, were regulated by snow depth, temperature increase, and the phenology of trees above the snow surface, highlighting the complex interplay between physical and biological factors in shaping snow ecosystems.
