Bertolet Disentangling Drivers of Lake Methane Dynamics across Scales 2021 .txt text/plain 435 13 15 Recent advances in sequencing technologies now allow us to determine differences in microbial community composition across space and time and to explicitly consider the influence of these differences on ecosystem-scale processes. I find that pH is a driver of community assembly, and that microbial community composition influences sediment function independent of pH. Finally, I utilize the confirmed relationship between pH and microbial community composition to experimentally test whether variation in methane responses to organic matter supply is related to microbial community composition (Chapter 5). cache/np193775d8w.txt txt/np193775d8w.txt
