Lake sediment bacteria communities affected by 1000 years of regular seismic disturbance

This study aimed to characterise bacterial communities occurring in lake sediments dating back 1000 years in an oligotrophic lake unperturbed by humans but regularly disturbed (~260 yrs) by large earthquakes (Mm > 7). These earthquakes resulted in increased fluvial sediment fluxes to the lake, which persisted for ~50 yrs. Periods of recovery
