Abstract
<p>A, Abalone; S, Adherent substrate; W, Water; n − 1, time point prior to “n.” Using the A sample as an example, the microbiome of A is influenced by two spatially (Sn-An and Wn-An), one temporally (An-1-An), and two spatio-temporally (Sn-1-An and Wn-1-An) adjacent samples. Wn-1-An (light blue) indicates the BC<sub>Wn-1-An</sub> percentage in a total of five BCs of A; Wn-An (dark blue) indicates the BC<sub>Wn-An</sub>; Sn-1-An percentage (light green) indicates the percentage of BC<sub>Sn-1-An</sub>; Sn-An (dark green) indicates the percentage of BC<sub>Sn-An</sub>; and An-1-An (red) indicates the percentage of BC<sub>An-1-An</sub>. This can be repeated for the additional samples.
