This project studies the impact of urbanization on microbial communities in freshwater ponds. It employs metagenomics to analyze how human-induced environmental changes affect microbial diversity and their roles in ecosystem functions like nutrient cycling and pollutant degradation.
Human induced environmental gradients have a strong effect on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.
Despite the valuable ecosystem services (such as biogeochemical cycling and xenobiotic degradation) provided by microbial communities, environmental conservation policies usually neglect microbial diversity.
This can be in part attributed to our poor understanding of microbial community responses to anthropogenic influences in natural landscapes.
Urban ecosystems are key examples of environments…
