Microbial river-to-sea continuum: gradients in benthic and planktonic diversity, osmoregulation and nutrient cycling
Abstract Background Coastal aquatic ecosystems include chemically distinct, but highly interconnected environments. Across a freshwater-to-marine transect, aquatic communities are exposed to large variations in salinity and nutrient availability as tidal cycles create periodic fluctuations in local...
