ABSTRACT Prairie wetland ponds on the Great Plains of North America offer a diverse array geochemical scenarios that can be informative about their impact microbial communities. These ecosystems invaluable ecological services while experiencing significant stressors, primarily through drainage and climate change. In this first study systematically combining environmental conditions with community composition to identify various niches in prairie ponds, sediments had higher abundance but lower phylogenetic diversity concentrations dissolved organic carbon ([DOC]; 10–18 mg/L) sulfate ([SO 4 2− ]; 37–58 water. As [DOC] [SO ] increased, there was an initial decline not diversity. Maximum values both occurred between 56 115 mg/L 5,000–6,000 decreased thereafter 150–180 8,000–14,000 ], respectively. findings confirm variables shape communities key taxa involved sulfur cycling dominated these potentially impacting vital biogeochemical processes such as bioavailability heavy metals, sequestration, methane emissions.
