01_ALI_CRL_and_MCL_α-diversity_analysis_R_code

Water and sediment samples were collected from Chang-re Lake (CRL) and Mang co Lake (MCL), the northwestern Tibetan Plateau. Using multi-marker metabarcoding of eDNA derived from water at multiple depths and from sediments, we analyzed the community composition of four taxonomic groups representative of different trophic levels, including cyanobacteria (prokaryotic primary producers), diatoms (eukaryotic primary producers), invertebrates (lower-level consumers), and vertebrates (top consumers). Here are the R scripts used in this study.
