摘要： Environmental changes associated with river inflow and seawater intrusion are known to affect zooplankton communities in coastal systems, but how zooplankton respond to these environmental changes remains unclear at present. Here we explored the effects of river inflow and seawater intrusion on zooplankton community structure in Jiaozhou Bay. The results showed that the river inflow and seawater intrusion are key in driving zooplankton dynamics, but with contrasting effects. According to the distinct hydrographic conditions, the sampling area could be geographically divided into the river inflow area with low-salinity and high-nutrient conditions (i.e., EIZ) and the seawater intrusion zone with high-salinity and low-nutrient conditions (i.e., SIZ). There were significant differences in zooplankton communities (e.g., abundance and species composition) between the two regions with seasonal changes. For example, the zooplankton abundance was significantly higher in the SIZ than in the EIZ during spring, whereas an opposite pattern was observed for the summer season. In contrast, the species richness was higher in the EIZ than in the SIZ in spring, while an opposite variation trend was observed during summer. These results together suggested that the river inflow and seawater intrusion had contrasting effects on zooplankton community structure in different seasons. According to the canonical correspondence analysis, we observed that the zooplankton community structure was mainly driven by temperature, chlorophyll a (Chl a), and nutrients in the EIZ, but it was largely affected by salinity in the SIZ. The implication is that changes in temperature, Chl a, and nutrients as a result of river inflow and changes in salinity as a consequence of seawater intrusion are key in driving the dynamics of zooplankton communities in Jiaozhou Bay.
