Bacteria play a crucial role in regulating the carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur cycles in estuarine intertidal wetlands. This study analyzed the variations in the bacterial community structure, assembly processes, and ecological functions in China's estuarine intertidal wetlands. The results showed significant seasonal variations in the bacterial community, with dispersion limitation identified as a critical factor affecting community assembly. The functional bacterial community structure exhibited a more pronounced latitudinal change than seasonal variability.
Bacteria play an important role in regulating carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and sulfur (S) in estuarine intertidal wetlands. To gain insights into the ecological and metabolic modes possessed by bacteria in estuarine intertidal wetlands, a total of 78 surface soil samples were collected from China's coastal intertidal wetlands to examine the spatial and seasonal variations of bacterial taxonomic composition, assembly processes, and ecological system functions through shotgun metagenomic and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Obvious spatiotemporal dynamic patterns in the bacterial community structure were identified, with more pronounced seasonal rather than spatial variations. Dispersion limitation was observed to act as a critical factor affecting community assembly, explaining approximately half of the total variation in the bacterial community. Functional bacterial community structure exhibited a more significant latitudinal change than seasonal variability, highlighting that functional stability of the bacterial communities differed with their taxonomic variability. Identification of biogeochemically related links between C, N, and S cycles in the soils showed the adaptive routed metabolism of the bacterial communities and the strong interactions between coupled metabolic pathways. Our study broadens the insights into the taxonomic and functional profiles of bacteria in China's estuarine intertidal soils and helps us understand the effects exerted by environmental factors on the ecological health and microbial diversity of estuarine intertidal flats.
