Assembly process and co-occurrence network of microbial community in response to free ammonia gradient distribution

Microorganisms are crucial components of the aquatic ecosystem due to their immense diversity and abundance. They are vital in sustaining ecological services, especially in maintaining essential biogeochemical cycles. Recent years have seen a substantial increase in surplus nitrogenous pollutants in aquatic ecosystems due to the heightened occurrence of anthropogenic activities. Elevated levels of free ammonia (FA, NH
