Different Fish Farming Patterns in Paddy Fields Substantially Impact the Bacterial Community Composition, Stability, and Assembly Processes in Paddy Water by Yiran Hou, Rui Jia, Linjun Zhou, Liqiang Zhang, Bing Li, Jian Zhu

“…The partitioned system considerably impacted the bacterial co-occurrence networks within the paddy water, with the planktonic bacterial co-occurrence network in rice cultivation area having more nodes (205) and edges (2085), and its robustness being significantly higher than that of other groups, resulting in a more complex and stable structure of the planktonic bacterial community. In addition, the partitioned system significantly promoted the contribution of stochastic processes to bacterial community assembly in the paddy water, with the main enhanced stochastic processes being homogenizing dispersal and drift. …”
