Modest functional diversity decline and pronounced composition shifts of microbial communities in a mixed waste-contaminated aquifer

Abstract Background Microbial taxonomic diversity declines with increased environmental stress. Yet, few studies have explored whether phylogenetic and functional diversities track taxonomic diversity along the stress gradient. Here, we investigated microbial communities within an aquifer in Oak Rid...
