Microbial distribution, co-occurrence patterns and driving mechanisms in the Yellow River Delta across sedimentary time scales. In this image, the first, second and third plots (A, B and C) showed the variations of community structure, relative and absolute abundance of methane-metabolizing communities, described the driving mechanisms. The fourth and fifth plots (D and E) showed the co-occurrence relationships between microorganisms at the new and old sedimentation region, displayed key species that play important roles in the network. The community and co-occurrence network analysis clearly revealed differences in methane-metabolizing communities and co-occurrence relationships across sedimentary gradients, supported the important role of methanogens in network.
