Table 1 Distribution, occurrence and relative abundance of the amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) in the Blanes Bay Microbial Observatory dataset. Distribution indicates the occurrence category: broad (≥75% samples), narrow (≤10% samples) and intermediate. The results are distributed between abundant (≥1% in at least one sample) and rare ASVs. Count ASVs stands for the number of ASVs within each category; Count CRT, the number of Conditionally Rare Taxa; seasonal ASVs, the count of seasonal ASVs (based in the Lomb Scargle test, q ≤ 0.05, PN ≥ 10); median occurrence, the % of samples in which the ASVs appear; Relative abundance, the total relative abundance of each category.
