Key Points

To investigate how salinity, discharge, and nutrient availability influence the microbiome in the Elbe estuary.
Analyzed bacterial community compositions in relation to salinity and discharge variations.
Evaluated the impact of seasonal changes and nutrient availability on microbial diversity.
Considered anthropogenic pressures affecting microbial metabolic functions.
Seasonal variation is the primary factor affecting bacterial diversity and community structure.
Higher salinity levels correlate with distinct bacterial community compositions.
Anthropogenic factors influence microbial functions, reflecting environmental changes.

Shows that salinity and organic matter influence microbiome diversity in the Elbe estuary, indicating environmental impact on microbial life.
