Implication

Reveals the impact of latitudinal gradients on archaeal community assembly in estuarine ecosystems, indicating significant ecological implications.

Key Points

  • The aim is to understand the spatial structure and processes of archaeal communities in estuaries across different latitudes in China.
  • Collected sediment samples from three estuarine regions: North China Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea.
  • Utilized 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing to analyze archaeal communities.
  • Employed null-model inference and molecular ecological network analyses to assess community assembly and interactions.
  • Archaeal communities showed clear spatial segregation across the three estuarine regions.
  • Community richness and network complexity increased significantly toward lower latitudes.
  • Deterministic assembly processes were prominent at lower latitudes, while stochastic processes became more significant at higher latitudes.
  • Key environmental factors identified include nitrate, ferric iron, and dissolved oxygen.
