Article Synopsis
- Mangroves support diverse microbial communities crucial for carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen cycles, with their biodiversity being sensitive to external influences.
- A study in the Amazonian mangroves, which cover 70% of Brazil's mangrove area, examined changes in microbial communities caused by fragmentation from the PA-458 highway.
- Analysis revealed that the degraded zone had significantly reduced microbial diversity and lacked key genera for essential nutrient metabolism, highlighting the adverse effects of human activities on mangrove ecosystems.
