Multi‐Scale Spectroscopy to Map Intertidal Microbial Biofilm Community and Trait Diversity
Key Points:
- We mapped intertidal microbial biofilm presence, quantity, diversity, and traits with spectroscopic data in San Francisco Bay, CA, USA
- Maps revealed lipid, carbohydrate, and carbon concentrations 2 to 4 times greater in diatoms than in cyanobacteria and chlorophyt
