Metagenomic analysis of microbial diversity in urban ponds of Shenzhen, China
Urban ponds are important freshwater ecosystems that support biodiversity, contribute to water quality regulation, and provide ecological services. However, these ecosystems are increasingly impacted by anthropogenic activities and changing climatic conditions. In this project, the microbial diversity of urban ponds in Shenzhen, China, was analyzed using metagenomic sequencing approaches. Metagenomic analysis provided insights into the taxonomic diversity and ecological structure of microbial populations present in water. The generated datasets contribute to a broader understanding of microbial ecology in urban freshwater environments and provide baseline information for future ecological monitoring, biodiversity assessment, and water quality management in subtropical urban ecosystems
