The aims of this study are to 1) investigate the composition, function and activity of phytoplankton and bacterioplankton communities in urban water supply reservoirs; 2) construct the association network of phytoplankton and bacterioplankton to explore the relationship between phytoplankton and bacterioplankton communities; 3) quantify the causal relationship between phytoplankton community, bacterioplankton community and environmental variables, and to reveal the driving mechanisms of biotic and abiotic factors that influence the spatiotemporal dynamics of microbial communities.
