PH Drives Differences in Bacterial Community β-Diversity in Hydrologically Connected Lake Sediments.

ABSTRACT: As microorganisms are very sensitive to changes in the lake environment, a comprehensive and systematic understanding of the structure and diversity of lake sediment microbial communities can provide feedback on sediment status and lake ecosystem protection. Xiao Xingkai Lake (XXL) and Xingkai Lake (XL) are two neighboring lakes hydrologically connected by a gate and dam, with extensive agricultural practices and other human activities existing in the surrounding area. In view of this, we selected XXL and XL as the study area and divided the area into three regions (XXLR, XXLD, and XLD) according to different hydrological conditions. We investigated the physicochemical properties of surface sediments in different regions and the structure and diversity of bacterial communities using high-t
