Description
Mesopelagic sediments represent a critical yet understudied component of marine ecosystems, where environmental gradients strongly influence microbial community structure and function. This study profiles prokaryotic and fungal communities in the sediments along a bathymetric transect (500–1000 m) on the upper continental slope of the Lakshadweep Sea to identify community assembly processes and environmental drivers.
