Spatial co-occurrence patterns of benthic microbial assemblage in response to trace metals in the Atacama Desert Coastline

Spatial co-occurrence patterns of benthic microbial assemblage in response to trace metals in the Atacama Desert Coastline

Taxonomic and functional microbial communities may respond differently to anthropogenic coastal impacts, but ecological quality monitoring assessments using environmental DNA and RNA (eDNA/eRNA) in response to pollution are poorly understood. In the present study, we investigated the utility of the...
