The role of human access and environmental parameters in structuring lake communities

A new manuscript Human access and deterministic processes play a major role in structuring planktonic and sedimentary bacterial and eukaryotic communities in lakes led by John Pearman has been published in the journal PeerJ. The research explores microorganisms that live in the sediment and water of lakes and what are the key processes, e.g. nutrients, temperature that structure them and the influence of human access to a site. The study provides new insights into the distribution patterns of different biotic components and highlights the value in understanding the drivers of different biological communities within lakes.

The Lakes380 team has created a user-friendly app The Lakes380 team has created a user-friendly app combining data from over 300 of our lakes with computer modelling to estimate the water quality of all lakes in Aotearoa New Zealand. Check out the health of a lake near you on our lakes water quality app and let’s work together to protect our precious lakes!
