Dysbiosis in mountain lakes and their health-related consequences.

ntral role in maintaining ecosystem balance and tracking how they respond to environmental pressures such as pollution and climate change. To do this, DYHARD will combine cutting-edge tools—including deep learning models and metagenomic data—to analyse how microbial communities evolve over time and to simulate the impacts of keystone species loss. DYHARD will also assess the functional roles of these microbes by linking their genetic material to key ecological processes, such as nitrogen cycling or contaminant degradation, helping identify the most vulnerable and irreplaceable functions. The project will propose indicators and monitoring tools to detect early warning signs of microbial and functional decline. It will also recommend science-based conservation and restoration strategies tailored to mountain lake ecosystems. By bridging microbial ecology, environmental management, and stakeholder engagement, DYHARD will help safeguard the ecological integrity and socio-economic value of mountain lakes facing increasing anthropogenic pressure.
