Project name: Metabarcoding reveals the effects of Asian dust on the diversity of a Northwest Pacific Plankton Assemblages

Description: Dust deposition can bring nutrients and trace elements to the upper ocean and affect plankton communities. The Northwest Pacific Ocean (NWPO) is a typical study sea area that has long been subject to Asian dust inputs. In this project, we carried out an on-board incubation experiment in the Kuroshio-Oyashio transition region of the NWPO, and used metabarcoding approach of 18S rRNA and 16S rRNA gene to characterize the dynamics plankton community in response to dust addition.
