Diversity and community differentiation of phytoplankton in the coastal waters around Hainan Island: An eDNA Metabarcoding approach.
To examine survey-period spatial variation and environmental associations of phytoplankton communities around Hainan Island, we conducted a single survey of 19 surface-water stations from 5 to 14 August 2025 using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding targeting the 18S rRNA V9 region together with hydrographic, water-...
