Suggestions for future mangrove microbial diversity research

Despite many research advancements in mangrove sediment bacterial metagenomicsdiversity in various conditions over the past few years, bridging the research gap andexpanding our knowledge towards the relationship between microbes mainly constituted of bacteria and its nutrient cycles in the mangrove sediment and direct and indirect impacts on mangrove growth and stand-structures as coastal barriers and other ecological service providers. Thus, based on studies by Lai et al.'s systematic review, here they suggest sampling improvements and a fundamental environmental index for future reference.
