Résumé
Freshwater sediment microbes are crucial decomposers that play a key role in regulating biogeochemical cycles and greenhouse gas emissions. They often exhibit a highly ordered structure along depth profiles. This stratification not only reflects redox effects but also provides valuable insights into historical transitions, as sediments serve as important archives for tracing environmental history. The Anthropocene, a candidate geological epoch, has recently garnered significant attention. However, the human impact on sediment zonation under the cover of natural redox niches remains poorly understood. Dam construction stands as one of the most far-reaching anthropogenic modifications of aquatic ecosystems. Here we attempted to identify the ecological imprint of damming on freshwater sediment microbiome. We conducted a year-round survey on the sediment profiles of Lake Chaohu, a large shallow lake in China. Through depth-discrete shotgun metagenomics, metataxonomics, and geophysiochemical analyses, we unveiled a unique prokaryotic hierarchy shaped by the interplay of redox regime and historical damming (labeled by the We delineate a picture in which dam-induced modifications in nutrient availability and sedimentation rates impact microbial metabolic activities and generate great changes in the community structure, assembly, and stability of the freshwater sediment microbiome.

BACKGROUND
Freshwater sediment microbes are crucial decomposers that play a key role in regulating biogeochemical cycles and greenhouse gas emissions. They often exhibit a highly ordered structure along depth profiles. This stratification not only reflects redox effects but also provides valuable insights into historical transitions, as sediments serve as important archives for tracing environmental history. The Anthropocene, a candidate geological epoch, has recently garnered significant attention. However, the human impact on sediment zonation under the cover of natural redox niches remains poorly understood. Dam construction stands as one of the most far-reaching anthropogenic modifications of aquatic ecosystems. Here we attempted to identify the ecological imprint of damming on freshwater sediment microbiome.
RESULTS
We conducted a year-round survey on the sediment profiles of Lake Chaohu, a large shallow lake in China. Through depth-discrete shotgun metagenomics, metataxonomics, and geophysiochemical analyses, we unveiled a unique prokaryotic hierarchy shaped by the interplay of redox regime and historical damming (labeled by the
CONCLUSIONS
We delineate a picture in which dam-induced modifications in nutrient availability and sedimentation rates impact microbial metabolic activities and generate great changes in the community structure, assembly, and stability of the freshwater sediment microbiome. These findings reflect profound ecological and biogeochemical ramifications of human-Earth system interactions and help re-examine the mainstream views on the formation of sediment microbial stratification.
