Benthic microbial communities are a vital component of coastal subtidal zones, playing an essential role in nutrient cycling and energy flow, fundamental to maintaining the stability functioning marine ecosystems. However, response benthic prokaryotic eukaryotic environmental changes remains poorly understood. Herein, we conducted nearly semimonthly annual sampling survey investigate temporal patterns underlying mechanisms sediments Sanshan Island, situated eastern Laizhou Bay Bohai Sea, China. The results showed that variations followed distinct seasonal pattern, with turnover more dominant community succession. Nonetheless, contrasting were observed alpha diversity communities, as well taxa across different communities. Water temperature, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, salinity, total nitrogen (TN), NH4+, PO43− identified predominant drivers. assembly was driven by ecological processes, which stochastic processes mainly shaped while deterministic dominated Interactions within primarily characterized mutualistic or cooperative relationships, but ability maintain under disturbances notable differences. These shed light on dynamics potential driving disturbances, highlighting roles zones providing valuable insights for management conservation
