contents Nonlinear Responses of Phytoplankton Communities to Environmental Drivers in a Tourist-Impacted Coastal Zone: A GAMs-Based Study of Beihai Silver Beach. Cheng, Dewei Chen, Xuyang Chen, Yun Zhu, Fangchao Qiao, Ying Zhang, Li Dang, Ersha Based on multi-seasonal surveys (2020-2022) in Beihai Silver Beach, this study examined phytoplankton community dynamics and environmental drivers. Results showed persistent diatom dominance, with as the predominant species and a major bloom in autumn 2021. Species richness peaked in summer and was lowest in winter, while abundance hotspots were associated with the Fengjia River estuary. Generalized Additive Models identified reactive phosphate as the primary driver, exhibiting nonlinear relationships with species richness (R = 0.91) and diversity (R = 0.436). Dissolved oxygen also had significant nonlinear effects. A counterintuitive positive correlation between lead concentration and species richness highlighted complex stressor interactions. This study emphasizes phosphorus control for eutrophication mitigation and demonstrates GAMs' utility in detecting nonlinear ecological responses, supporting science-based management of coastal ecosystems.
