In aquatic benthic environments, organisms have been found to regulate important biogeochemical characteristics and perform key ecosystem functions. To further explore the ecological impact of snail Bellamya purificata’s, presence on environment, we employed high-throughput sequencing technology investigate its effects bacterial, fungal, protist communities in sediment their intrinsic interactions. Our findings revealed that B. purificata’s significantly enhanced diversity evenness fungal community while simultaneously decreasing richness community, it also altered composition relative abundance dominant phyla across communities. The purificata considerably co-occurrence networks microbial communities, particularly by enhancing complexity strengthening interconnections among protist, Notably, proportions specialists within declined due purificata. Its notably expanded habitat niche breadth for bacteria protists. terms assembly, shifted assembly from being dominated stochastic processes deterministic processes, whereas processes. mainly assemblies were drift homogenizing selection. Additionally, resulted a notable reduction ON level significant increase ammonia, FA, EN concentrations. Sediment properties, FA nitrate, strongly correlated with contributors changes dynamics. These research not only broadened our understanding impacts but highlighted substantial potential stability.
