Diversity and Ecological Function Analysis of Nematode eDNA in Sediments of South China Sea Coral Reefs

This project aims to explore the diversity of nematode environmental DNA (eDNA) in sediments of South China Sea coral reefs and analyze their ecological functions. Through sequencing analysis, we will investigate the genetic diversity of nematodes in different sediment samples from South China Sea coral reefs to understand their species composition, abundance, and distribution. Through this research, we can better understand the ecological roles of nematodes in South China Sea coral reef sediments, providing scientific evidence for the conservation of the South China Sea ecosystem. The results of this project will help reveal the relationship between microbial diversity and ecological functions in South China Sea coral reef ecosystems, providing important insights for biodiversity conservation and marine environmental management.

本项目旨在探究南海珊瑚礁沉积物中线虫环境DNA（environmental DNA, eDNA）的多样性，并分析其生态功能。本研究将通过测序分析，对南海珊瑚礁不同沉积物样本中的线虫遗传多样性展开探究，以明确其物种组成、丰度与分布格局。通过本研究，我们能够更深入地认识线虫在南海珊瑚礁沉积物中的生态作用，为南海生态系统的保护提供科学依据。本项目的研究成果将有助于揭示南海珊瑚礁生态系统中微生物多样性与生态功能之间的关联，为生物多样性保护及海洋环境管理提供重要参考。
