Sea-ice meltwater reduced the diversity of Antarctic prokaryotic communities and weakened their potential ecological association networks in a controlled microcosm experiment using seawater collected from the Amundsen Sea. Researchers amended communities from surface and mesopelagic layers with melted sea ice across a 0–50% dilution gradient, then assessed their responses with 16S rRNA gene sequencing and co-occurrence network analysis. The experiment found an acute laboratory…
