Mangroves, as a blue carbon reservoir, provide an environment for a variety of
microorganisms. Mangroves lie in special locations connecting coastal and estuarine areas
and experience fluctuating conditions, which are expected to intensify with climate change,
creating a need to better understand the relative roles of stochastic and deterministic
processes in shaping microbial community assembly. Here, a study of microbial
communities inhabiting mangrove sediments across southeastern China, spanning …
