Aquatic ecosystems cover more than 71% of Earth surface. The freshwater systems such as lakes, ponds and reservoirs (nearly 4.5 million km2), which are widespread, varied and numerous, offer a diversity of ecological niches where harbor large and diverse microbial populations that ensure their functioning and sustainability.Under the effects of long-term irrigation, Yinchuan Plain has been transformed from a semi desert area into an oasis. It deserves to be seen as a masterpiece in the history of the remaking of nature by human beings.Because of unique geology and geomorphology, the shahu lake on Yinchuan Plain is usually shallow. The aim of this study is to find the relationship between microbial diversity and environmental factors.
