Short summary
Predicting the effects of changing climate on microbial community shifts on longer timescales can be challenging. This study exploits the power of combining organic geochemistry, molecular microbial ecology, and geochemistry to unravel trends in microbial community induced by climatic variability. Our results show that climate-induced variability on decadal timescales can trigger changes in both lake trophic status and phytoplankton communities.
