Anthropogenic activities mediate stratification and stability of microbial communities in freshwater sediments

Abstract Background Freshwater sediment microbes are crucial decomposers that play a key role in regulating biogeochemical cycles and greenhouse gas emissions. They often exhibit a highly ordered structure along depth profiles. This stratification not only reflects redox effects but also provides va...
