Earthquakes disrupt lake microbes by altering sediment and nutrient balance
When an earthquake causes a landslide, debris flow, or erosion, it can change the makeup of nearby lakes by introducing larger sediment particles, causing faster sediment buildup, and affecting carbon sequestration. The sediments that build up on lake bottoms act as a historical archive, recording the lake's biological, physical, and chemical changes and how they affect microbes such as diatoms (microscopic glass-like algae). Yet little is known…
When an earthquake causes landslide, debris flow or erosion, it can change the composition of neighbouring lakes by introducing larger sediment particles, causing faster sediment accumulation and affecting carbon sequestration. Sediments that accumulate on the bottom of the lake [...]
