The role of land use types and water chemical properties in structuring the microbiomes of a connected lakes system

S. Marmen, L. Blank, A. Al-Ashhab, A. Malik, L. Ganzert, M. Lalzar, H.-P. Grossart, D. Sher

The paper examines how land use and water chemistry influence microbiomes in a connected lakes system, finding that land use within drainage basins affects water quality and microbial structure, while direct land use around lakes has minimal impact.
