How do stabilized river meanders affect microbial communities and water quality in urban rivers?
Urban river meanders are frequently stabilized and hardened for flood control, thereby substantially altering their natural hydrodynamics and ecological functions. However, the influence of such engineered bends on sediment microbial communities, key players in nutrient cycling and thus water quality, remains poorly un...
