Microbial evolution, biogeochemical functions, and environmental adaptations in a desert saline lake on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

The Eboliang Hu saline lakes in the hyper-arid Qaidam Basin is a high-altitude, weakly acidic hypersaline system with strong environmental gradients and limited nitrogen availability. To resolve its microbial ecology and evolutionary context, we performed genome-resolved metagenomic sequencing across four distinct habi...
