Distribution Characteristics of Nitrogen-Cycling Microorganisms in Deep-Sea Surface Sediments of Western South China Sea.

This is also evident for nitrogen-cycling functional genes, where their abundance is influenced by distinct environmental conditions, including water depths (shallower at sites S1 and S9 against deeper at sites S13, S19, and S26) and unique geological features (sites S3 and S5), whereas the vertical distribution of nitrogen-cycling gene abundance generally shows a decreasing trend against sediment depth.
