a The MET subnetwork presents a diverse group of correlated ASVs or nodes, with each node colored by its centrality (i.e., darker color for higher centrality). The hub nodes of the network, i.e., the top-10 ASVs with the highest connectivity or the central members for the network, were identified at the genus level as Thalassiosira, Odontella, Porosira, Actinocyclus, Proboscia, Chaetoceros, and Gyrodinium. b ASVs with higher module membership, i.e., higher intramodular connectivity, are more correlated with volumetric NCP (R = 0.7, two-sided t-test p = 9.6 × 10−16). c The biogeography of MET at the WAP, with color indicating the eigenvalue in the relative unit. Black points show the DNA sampling locations. Source data are provided in Supplementary Data 2 and 4.
