Is a Central Sediment Sample Sufficient? Exploring Spatial and Temporal Microbial Diversity in a Small Lake.

In the mid-lake core, the cyanobacterial ASVs occurred mainly in the upper 17 cm (0.4–16.5% relative abundance) and in the littoral core, in the upper 12 cm (0.3–10.4% relative abundance), showing in both cores a decreasing trend in relative abundance with increasing sediment depth ( Figure 6 a and Figure S1a ).
