Spatial Variability in Streambed Microbial Community Structure across Two Watersheds

ABSTRACT Both spatial and temporal variability are key attributes of sedimentary microbial communities, and while spatial effects on beta-diversity appear to dominate at larger distances, the character of spatial variability at finer scales remains poorly understood, especially for headwater stream...
