Protozoa-driven micro-food webs shaping carbon and nitrogen cycling in reservoir ecosystems by Xue Wang, Jinxian Liu, Baofeng Chai, Tiehang Wu

“…Our findings revealed distinct spatial patterns in micro-food web complexity and stability, with the highest diversity and interaction density in inflowing river zones and a gradual simplification towards deep-water zones. Functional gene analysis shows significant differences in carbon degradation, fixation pathways, and nitrogen transformation processes, with shallow waters exhibiting strong microbial-mediated nitrification and denitrification, while deep waters rely on anaerobic nitrogen reduction pathways. …”
