Abstract:Urbanization-induced environmental changes are becoming a major threat to river systems. However, little is known about how urbanization affects aquatic microbial communities despite their critical role in maintaining ecological processes and nutrient cycling. Here, we investigated assembly processes of habitat generalists and specialists in different urbanization stages of subtropical rivers. The results highlight that nitrogen compounds can influence the composition of the microbial community. Proteobacteria… Show more
