BEACH CHANGES OF KAMAKURA COAST (ZAIMOKUZA AND YUI-GA-HAMA BEACHES) IN KANAGAWA PREFECTURE

Correction: Shifts in the Microbial Community Composition of Gulf Coast Beaches Following Beach Oiling

Figure S1. Dendrogram illustrating the bacterial community composition relationships among prevalence groups. An average-group linkage dendrogram is illustrated for the core ($75% of samples), resident (25-75% of samples), and transient (,25% of samples) OTU communities for exposed sand (left) and water (right) samples. See methods for category breakdown details. The mean OTU composition is rep...

Shifts in the Microbial Community Composition of Gulf Coast Beaches Following Beach Oiling

Microorganisms associated with coastal sands serve as a natural biofilter, providing essential nutrient recycling in nearshore environments and acting to maintain coastal ecosystem health. Anthropogenic stressors often impact these ecosystems, but little is known about whether these disturbances can be identified through microbial community change. The blowout of the Macondo Prospect reservoir ...
