Diversity Patterns and Drivers of Soil Bacterial and Fungal Communities in a Muddy Coastal Wetland of China.

ABSTRACT: Elucidating the dynamics of soil microbial diversity in coastal wetlands is essential for understanding the changes in ecological functions within these ecosystems, particularly in the context of climate change and improper management practices. In this study, the diversity patterns and influencing factors of soil bacterial and fungal communities in a muddy coastal wetland in China were investigated using Illumina sequencing of 16S rRNA and ITS1, across wetlands dominated by different vegetations and varying proximity to the coastline. The wetlands include four plots dominated by Spartina alterniflora (SA1), four plots dominated by Suaeda glauca (SG2), additional four plots of Suaeda glauca (SG3), and four plots dominated by Phragmites australis (PA4), ranging f
