Microbial Functional Gene Diversity Predicts Groundwater Contamination and Ecosystem Functioning

Contamination from anthropogenic activities has significantly impacted Earth’s biosphere. However, knowledge about how environmental contamination affects the biodiversity of groundwater microbiomes and ecosystem functioning remains very limited. Here, we used a comprehensive functional gene array t...
