Millimeter-scale patterns of phylogenetic and trait diversity in a salt marsh microbial mat
Intertidal microbial mats are comprised of distinctly-colored millimeter-thick layers whose communities organize in response to environmental gradients such as light availability, oxygen/sulfur concentrations, and redox potential. Here, slight changes in depth correspond to sharp niche boundaries....
