The microbial community coalescence describes the mixing of microbial communities and
the merging of their surrounding environments. Despite its prevalence in natural ecosystems …

Microbial communities commonly consist of a large number of rare taxa (RT) and few
abundant taxa (AT), and it is important to identify the differences of the community assembly …

Bacterioplanktonic communities, consisting of a few abundant taxa (AT) and many rare taxa
(RT), are essential component of riverine ecosystems. Nonetheless, the biogeographic …

Inter-basin water transfer is an effective manner to achieve the optimal allocation of water
resources, while accompanied by some ecological effects. The responses of …

Urban lake ecosystems are significant for social development, but currently we know little
about the geographical distribution of algal community in urban lakes at a large-scale. In this …

Revealing the patterns and their mechanisms of microbial community in water transfer
projects, especially in inter-basin water transfer projects, is the premise of biohazard …

Microbial communities play vital roles in cycling nutrients and maintaining water quality in
aquatic ecosystems. To better understand the dynamics of microbial communities and to …

The ecological diversity patterns and community assembly processes along spatio-temporal
scales are least studied in the bacterioplankton sub-communities of brackish coastal …

Bacterioplankton play a vital role in maintaining the functions and services of lake
ecosystems. Understanding the diversity and distribution patterns of bacterioplankton …

As the crucial confluences of rivers and lakes, the estuary areas with varied hydrodynamic
exchanges intensively affect the bacterioplankton communities, whereas the ecological …
