520 3 _aUrbanization and agricultural intensification can transform landscapes. Changes in land-use can lead to increases in storm runoff and nutrient loadings which can impair the health and function of stream ecosystems. Microorganisms are an integral component of stream ecosystems. Due to the sensitivity of microorganisms to perturbations, changes in hydrology and water chemistry may alter microbial activity and structure. These shifts in microbial community dynamics may alter stream metabolism and water quality, potentially impacting higher trophic levels. Here we examine the effects of land-use and associated changes in water chemistry on sediment microbial communities by studying the West Run Watershed (WRW)a mixed-land-use system in West Virginia, USA. Streams were sampled throughout the growing season at six sites within the WRW spanning different levels of land use intensification. The proportion of land impacted by agricultural and urban development was positively correlated with temporal variation in stream sediment microbial community composition (adj R2 = 0.65), suggesting development can destabilize microbial communities. Moreover, streams in developed watersheds had an increased metabolic quotient (20-50percent higher), this indicates that microorganisms have greater respiration per unit biomass and signifies reduced metabolic efficiency. Further, our results suggest that land use associated changes in water chemistry alter microbial function both directly and indirectly via changes in microbial community composition and biomass. Taken together our results suggest that highly developed watersheds with elevated conductivity, metal ion concentration, and pH impose stress on microbial communities resulting in reduced microbial efficiency and elevated respiration.
