More Robust Co-Occurrence Patterns and Stronger Dispersal Limitations of Bacterial Communities in Wet than Dry Seasons of Riparian Wetlands.

ABSTRACT: Riparian wetlands can be used as "sentinels" of environmental changes and play pivotal roles in ecological and biogeochemical processes. The bacterial community is an essential and rapidly responding component in riparian areas. However, the co-occurrence patterns and phylogenetic group-based ecological processes during wet-dry periods are still open questions. Here, we compared the co-occurrence patterns and phylogenetic group-based assembly mechanisms of soil bacterial communities in typical riparian wetlands across wet and dry seasons, which are subjected to intensive agricultural activities. The results showed that the potential functions, community composition, network structure, and phylogenetic group-based ecological processes of the bacterial community were distinct between the wet
