Wide and rapid Spartina alterniflora invasion has threatened the sustainability of coastal wetlands China, a significant impact on sediment biogeochemical cycle. However, effects exotic dissimilatory nitrates (NOx−) reduction processes mechanisms underlying these pathways in mangrove have not been well studied. Here, denitrification (DEN), anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANA) nitrate to (DNRA) rates, contributions (DEN%, ANA%, DNRA%), associated functional genes (nirS, anammox 16S rRNA nrfA) controlling factors were investigated surface sediments (0–5 cm) communities ecotone Zhangjiang Estuary, China. Significant spatial differences DEN, DNRA, DEN%, DNRA% found among different plant (p < 0.05 for all). DEN is dominant pathway NOx− community (87–89 %) (75–78 %), while (41–51 DNRA (36–51 compete with each other community. Organic matter was most dominating factor rates. Without accounting confounding factors, significantly reduced nitrogen retention index (NIRI), causing large amount (N) loss wetlands. We estimated that increased N-loss (831.09 ± 55.16 t N yr−1) but (783.48 37.73 habitats China within last 40 years (1980–2020). Thus, enhances reducing wetlands, which may threaten buffer function wetland pools protection estuarine ecosystems.

Abstract Tidal wetland reclamation is a worldwide issue that profoundly alters ecological functions and ecosystem service provisions; however, its impacts on sediment microbial communities remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the spatial seasonal patterns of greenhouse gas (GHG) production in response to land use change mangrove wetlands elucidated underlying mechanisms by integrating environmental parameters community characteristics. In time period studied, substantially reduced organic matter content, richness diversity, CO 2 rates. Converting mangroves drier cover types, namely orchard vegetable field, significantly diminished reducing substrates (sulfide, Fe 2+ , NH 4 + ), network complexity stability, CH rates, while increasing N O contrast, these showed opposite trend following conversion flooded aquaculture pond. Overall GHG rate was 399.8 mg e kg −1 d which respectively decreased 68.83%, 69.86%, 30.84% orchard, Microbial stability were strongly related rates O, rather than can be better indicators specialized (CH production). Therefore, preserving “interaction” could important mitigate negative effects diversity loss caused human activities aquatic environments. Future research should consider conditions composition, interactions, gain comprehensive understanding functions.

Abstract Denitrification, anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox), and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to (DNRA) are three competing processes of microbial that determine the degree ecosystem nitrogen (N) loss versus recycling. However, global patterns drivers relative contributions these N cycling soil or sediment remain unknown, limiting our understanding balance management. Here, we compiled a dataset 1570 observations from wide range terrestrial aquatic ecosystems. We found denitrification contributed up 66.1% total globally, being significantly greater in estuarine coastal Anammox DNRA could account for 12.7% 21.2% reduction, respectively. The contribution increased with longitude, while anammox decreased. local environmental factors controlling included concentrations organic carbon, ammonium, nitrate, ferrous iron. Our results underline dominant role over transformation, which is crucial improving current cycle model achieving sustainable
