We combined metagenomics result, fossil diatoms and geochemical records:
And were be able to reconstructed the past local enviromental condition related to the Holocene period in the lake Chalco, Mexico. Here we show the biodiversity results base on metagenomics analysis, the fossil diatoms assemblages and geochemistry analysis

Metagenomic are transforming the microbiology and Advantage of the ecology through new concepts. metagenomics sedaDNA is less destructive sampling directly from soil or sediment and is feasible to have a scheme of the to explore environment and its interactions. sedaDNA studies Conclusion
• Metagenomics approach correlate with fossil diatom zones proposed and let us infer changes in past environments at lake Chalco.
• During hyposaline zone, the lake Chalco was shallow, warm, hyposaline and eutrophic, with anoxic bottom waters.
• We evidenced a transition stage between the hyposaline and subsaline zones, mainly due to the change in vegetation, the boom of mosquitoes (Culicidae), higher precipitation (Ti), pathogenic fungai, and crops.
• Therefore, we propose that the first human activities had a large and rapid impact on the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems in this area. Thank you
