Figure 3

Taxonomic diversity revealed by metagenomic and fossil diatom analysis, and geochemical variables from the Lake Chalco Holocene sediment sequence. Each horizontal bar represents a collected sample, with the exception of the upper row, which shows the average of surface samples S1 (0 cm, i.e., modern) and S2 (0 cm, i.e., modern) (Supplementary Table S1). The lithology of the 270-cm sediment sequence is shown in the first column. The Upper Toluca Pumice (UTP) is represented as tephra underneath the first column (from left to right). Taxonomic diversity is depicted as the relative abundance of phyla Bacteria (green), Archaea (pink), and Eukarya (blue) (columns 2–4). Percent values correspond to the diversity of peptide sequences corresponding to each domain. Geochemical variables related to biological processes and past conditions are shown in columns 5–7. Results of fossil diatom analysis are shown in column 8. Dark horizontal lines show the boundaries for each delimited paleoenvironmental zone: (1) freshwater, (2) hyposaline and (3) subsaline.
