Alternation of heterotrophic bacterial and archaeal production along nitrogen and salinity gradients in coastal wetlands
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract. Coastal wetlands are valuable ecosystems with high biological productivity and diversity, which provide ecosystem services such as a reduction in the inputs of nitrogen into coastal waters, and storage of organic carbon, thus, acting as net carbon sinks. The rise of sea level as a consequence of climatic warming will salinize many coastal wetlands, but there is considerable uncertainty about how salinization will affect microbial communities and biogeochemical processes. We analyzed prokaryotic abundance and heterotrophic bacterial and archaeal production in 112 ponds within nine coastal wetlands from the western Mediterranean coast. We determined the main drivers of prokaryotic abundance and production in these wetlands using generalized linear models (GLMs). The best GLM, including all the coastal wetlands, indicated that the concentration of total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) positively affected the abundance of heterotrophic prokaryotes and heterotrophic archaeal production. In contrast, heterotrophic bacterial production was negatively related to TDN. This negative relationship appeared to be mediated by salinity and virus abundance. Heterotrophic bacterial production declined as salinity, and virus abundance, increased. We observed a switch from heterotrophic bacterial production towards heterotrophic archaeal production as salinity and virus abundance increased. Our results imply that microbial activity will change from bacterial-dominated processes to archaeal-dominated processes along with increases of nitrogen inputs and salinity. However, more studies are required to link the mineralization rates of dissolved nitrogen and organic carbon with specific archaeal taxa, to enable more accurate predictions on future scenarios of wetlands salinization and anthropogenic nitrogen inputs.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
