Ecological responses of phytoplankton and bacterial communities to eutrophication in the Han River Basin
Eutrophication filters species adaptability, leading to deterministic succession in phytoplankton and homogenization of bacterial communities. The rise in negative correlations underscores escalating resource competition, potentially destabilizing ecosystem functions. Our findings emphasize the urgency of nutrient load reduction and adaptive management. Future studies should prioritize leveraging phytoplankton-bacterial synergism for bioremediation and resilience enhancement.
