Distinct temporal dynamics of planktonic archaeal and bacterial assemblages in the bays of the Yellow Sea

NMDS ordination of archaeal (A) and bacterial (B) communities with Bray-Curtis distance. Contour lines show a smooth generalized addictive model (GAM) surface reflecting best fitting environmental factors (Deviance explained: A. temperature 98.6% and NO2- 88.4%, and B. temperature 96.8% and NO2- 89.4% with P < 0.001 for all parameters).
