Hydrologic linkages drive spatial structuring of bacterial assemblages and functioning in alpine floodplains
Microbial community assembly and microbial functions are affected by a number of different but coupled drivers such as local habitat characteristics, dispersal rates and species interactions. In groundwater systems, hydrological flow can introduce spatial structure and directional dependencies among...
