Factors Critical to Long-Term Lake and Reservoir Management
The overarching objective of this project was to advance our understanding of how ambient nutrient conditions, nutrient loading, and hydraulic residence time in lakes of the southcentral USA, with varied surrounding land-use practices, influenced HABs and microbial functioning. We used a combination of metagenomics, viromics, and metatranscriptomics to understand the relationships between the microbial communities and their environment.
