Warm-wet climate reshapes arid lake microbes: Diversity increases despite stability loss with functional compensation

Integrating over six decades of environmental data, a decade of field surveys, and targeted mesocosm experiments in Lake Bosten, China, we reveal that a transition to a warm-wet climate significantly influences microbial community diversity, ecological network structure, and functional potential.

本研究整合了中国博斯腾湖（Lake Bosten）逾六十年的环境监测数据、十年野外调查资料以及针对性中型实验生态系统（mesocosm）实验结果，结果表明向暖湿气候的转型会显著影响微生物群落多样性、生态网络结构与功能潜能。
