Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Environmental Drivers of Intertidal Sediment Prokaryotic Communities in Sanya Bay, China
we conducted a year-long study in Sanya Bay to examine how intertidal sediment microbiomes respond to environmental variation, focusing on the role of episodic nutrient pulses. Monthly sampling at five sites, coupled with 16S rRNA gene sequencing and comprehensive environmental monitoring, revealed a distinct temporal paradigm.
