Abstract:Abstract. Unearthing the effects of surface water and groundwater interactions on subsurface biogeochemical reactions is crucial for developing a more mechanistic understanding of carbon and energy flow in aquifer ecosystems. To examine physiological characteristics across groundwater microbial communities that experience varying degrees of interaction with surface waters, we investigated ten springs and a river sink and rise system in North Central Florida that discharge from 10 and/or mix with the karstic Up… Show more
