Oxygen availability in landfill cover soil is a major limitation to the growth and activity of methanotrophs as methane oxidation is an aerobic microbial process. Plants tolerant to high concentrations of landfill gas (LFG) may play an important role in improving methane oxidation within landfill cover soil and reducing emission of methane, a greenhouse gas, from it. In this study, the effect of an LFG tolerant plant Chenopodium album L. on methane oxidation activity (MOA) and bacterial community composition in landfill cover soil was investigated. Soil samples from four simulated lysimeters with and without LFG and plant vegetation were taken at 4 stages during the plant's development cycle. Results showed that the total number of culturable bacteria in soil could be significantly increased ( P < 0.05) by the growth of C. album. The total number of methanotrophs and MOA in soils with LFG was significantly higher ( P < 0.05) than in soils without LFG on sampling days 90, 150 and 210. The total number of methanotrophs and MOA in lysimeters with LFG added increased in the presence of C. album when the plant entered the seed setting stage. Polymerase chain reaction and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) gel patterns of 16S rDNA gene fragment and band sequencing analyses showed apparent differences in soil bacterial communities in the presence of LFG and plant vegetation. Members of the genus Methylosarcina were found to be the active and dominant methanotrophs in rhizosphere soil of C. album with LFG, while Methylococcus, Methylocystis, and Methylosinus were the primary methanotroph genera in LFG soil without C. album. Thus, C. album appears to select for specific methanotrophic bacteria in the presence of LFG. Soil MOA and microbial diversity can also be significantly affected by the presence of this plant. 相似文献

The soil microbial communities of a landfill cover substrate, which was treated with landfill gas (100 l CH 4 m ?2 d ?1) and landfill leachate for 1.5 years, were investigated by phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA), ergosterol and respiratory quinone analyses. The natural 13C depletion of methane was used to assess the activity of methanotrophs and carbon turnover in the soil system. Under methane addition, the soil microbial community was dominated by PLFAs (14:0 and 16:1 isomers) and quinones (ubiquinone-8 and 18-methylene-ubiquinone-8) related to type I methanotrophs, and 18:1 PLFAs contained in type II methanotrophs. While type I methanotrophic PLFAs were 13C depleted, i.e. type I methanotrophs were actively oxidising and assimilating methane, 13C depletion of 18:1 PLFAs was low and inconsistent with their abundance. This, possibly reflects isotopic discrimination, assimilation of carbon derived from type I methanotrophs and a high contribution of non-methanotrophic bacteria to the 18:1 isomers. Landfill leachate irrigation caused the methanotrophic community to shift closer to the soil surface. It also decreased 18:1 PLFAs, while type I methanotrophs were probably stimulated. Gram positive bacteria, but not fungi, were also 13C depleted and consequently involved in the secondary turnover of carbon originating from methanotrophic bacteria. Cy17:0 PLFA was 13C depleted in deep soil layers, indicating anaerobic methane oxidation. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThe effect of parasitism on belowground microbial communities is not well understood. 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing was used to test the effect of Cuscuta australis parasitism on the composition and diversity of bacterial community in the rhizospheric soil of the host plant Trifolium repens. 94569 sequences were obtained from the amplicons of non-parasitised, and 97172 sequences were obtained from the parasitised rhizospheric soil bacterial community. Parasitism of C. australis significantly decreased the relative abundance of the bacterial phylum Nitrospirae, while it significantly increased that of Verrucomicrobia. Parasitism of C. australis significantly decreased the relative abundance of 10 bacterial genera, while it significantly increased those of nine genera. The Chao 1 indexes of the rhizospheric soil bacterial community of parasitised T. repens were significantly lower than those of non-parasitised T. repens. Principal coordinate analysis (based on the genus) and principal component analysis (based on the predicted gene function of bacterial communities) showed that rhizospheric bacterial communities from parasitised and non-parasitised T. repens differed and can be divided into two groups. These results suggest that infection of the holoparasitic plant could indirectly change the composition, diversity, and function of rhizospheric soil bacteria of the host plant. 相似文献

PurposeElevated CO2 and nitrogen (N) addition both affect soil microbial communities, which significantly influence soil processes and plant growth. Here, we evaluated the combined effects of elevated CO2 and N addition on the soil–microbe–plant system of the Chinese Loess Plateau. Materials and methodsA pot cultivation experiment with two CO2 treatment levels (400 and 800 μmol mol?1) and three N addition levels (0, 2.5, and 5 g N m?2 year?1) was conducted in climate-controlled chambers to evaluate the effects of elevated CO2 and N addition on microbial community structure in the rhizosphere of Bothriochloa ischaemum using phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) profiles and associated soil and plant properties. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to identify the direct and indirect effects of the experimental treatments on the structure of microbial communities. Results and discussionElevated CO2 and N addition both increased total and fungal PLFAs. N addition alone increased bacterial, Gram-positive, and Gram-negative PLFAs. However, elevated CO2 interacting with N addition had no significant effects on the microbial community. The SEM indicated that N addition directly affected the soil microbial community structure. Elevated CO2 and N addition both indirectly affected the microbial communities by affecting plant and soil variables. N addition exerted a stronger total effect than elevated CO2. ConclusionsThe results highlighted the importance of comprehensively studying soil–microbe–plant systems to deeply reveal how characteristics of terrestrial ecosystems may respond under global change. 相似文献

PurposePhosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are two important essential nutrient elements for plant growth and development but their availability is often limited in calcareous soils. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of applying microbial inoculants (MI, containing effective strains of Bacillus megaterium and Bacillus mucilaginous) on the availability of P and K, plant growth, and the bacterial community in calcareous soil. Materials and methodsA greenhouse experiment was conducted to explore the effects of the addition of MI (control: without MI addition; treatment: with MI addition at the rate of 60 L ha?1) on the concentrations of P and K in soil and plant, soil bacterial community diversity and composition, and chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) growth. Results and discussionThe results showed that MI inoculation significantly increased the fruit yields by 28.5% (p?<?0.01), available P and K in the rhizosphere soil by 32.1% and 28.1% (p?<?0.05), and P and K accumulation in the whole plants by 40.9% and 40.2%, respectively (p?<?0.05). Moreover, high-throughput sequencing revealed that Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Chloroflexi, and Gemmatimonadetes were the dominant phyla of soil bacteria. MI application did not significantly impact the diversity and composition of soil bacterial communities, but increased relative abundances of bacterial genera Flavobacterium responsible for promoting root development across growing stages (p?<?0.05), and changed the soil bacterial community structure associated closely with soil properties of available P, K, and pH in soil. ConclusionsThe application of MI improved the bioavailability of P and K and plant growth due to its impact on the soil bacterial community structure. 相似文献

PurposeThe aim of this study is to investigate the abundance, diversity, and distribution of archaea and bacteria as affected by environment parameters in paddy soils, with focus on putative functional microbial groups related to redox processes. Because there is generally a high iron content in the soil, we also want to test a hypothesis that soil iron concentration significantly affects microbial diversity and distribution. Materials and methodsQuantitative PCR and barcoded pyrosequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA genes were employed to investigate the abundance and community composition of archaeal and bacterial communities in 27 surface paddy soil samples. Pearson’s correlation, analysis of variance, partial least squares regression, principal coordinates analysis, and structural equation models were performed for the analyses of gene copy numbers, α-diversity, β-diversity, and relative abundances of archaea and bacteria and their relationships with environmental factors. Results and discussionArchaeal abundance was correlated greatest with temperature, but bacterial abundance was affected mainly by soil organic matter and total nitrogen content. Soil pH and concentrations of different ions were associated with archaeal and bacterial β-diversity. The relative abundances of Euryarchaeota and Thaumarchaeota were 61.3 and 13.1% of archaea and correlated with soil pH, which may affect the availability of substrates to methanogens and ammonia oxidizers. Dominant bacterial phyla were Proteobacteria (32.4%), Acidobacteria (17.8%), Bacteroidetes (9.3%), and Verrucomicrobia (6.0%). The relative abundances of putative bacterial reducers of nitrate, Fe(III), sulfate, and sulfur, and oxidizers of ammonia, nitrite, reduced sulfur, and C1 compounds had positive, negative, or non-significant correlations with the concentrations of their substrates. Soil iron concentration was correlated only with the distributions of some putative iron-reducing bacteria. ConclusionsIn paddy soils characterized by dynamic redox processes, archaea and bacteria differ in relationships of abundance, diversity, and distribution with environmental factors. Especially, the concentrations of electron donors or acceptors can explain the distributions of some but not all the putative functional microbial groups related to redox processes. Depending on pH range, soil pH has a strong impact on microbial ecology in paddy soils. 相似文献

Alpine wetlands are hotspots of carbon (C) storage and methane emission, and they could be key contributors to global warming. In recent years, rapid warming has lowered the water table in alpine wetlands on the Tibetan Plateau, concurrent with intensified nitrogen (N) deposition via anthropogenic activities. We carried out a field experiment to investigate the ecological impacts of these two factors on soil bacterial and functional communities, which are essential drivers of greenhouse gas emissions. Nitrogen amendment alone decreased the phylogenetic alpha-diversity of bacterial communities which could be offset by lowered water table. In contrast, microbial functional alpha-diversity, revealed by a high-throughput microarray, remained unchanged. Both bacterial and functional beta-diversity responded to lowered water table, but only bacterial community responded to N amendment. The alpha-Proteobacteria, beta-Proteobacteria, and Bacteroidetes were the major responsive bacterial lineages, and C degradation, methanogenesis, alkaline shock, and phosphorus oxidation were the major responsive functional processes. Partitioning analysis revealed that N amendment changed bacterial community structure mainly via species loss processes but did not affect bacterial functional communities, with soil pH and ammonium as the key factors influencing changes in bacterial community structure. Conversely, lowered water table altered bacterial and functional communities through species substitution processes linked to soil pH and soil moisture. According to our results, the response mechanisms of microbial communities to lowered water table and N amendment are fundamentally different in alpine wetlands. 相似文献

PurposeMany studies have shown the simulated effects of nitrogen (N) deposition on soil microbial community composition by adding N directly to the forest floor but have ignored the N retention process by the canopy. This study was conducted to compare the responses of soil microbial biomass and community composition between soil application of N (SAN) and foliage application of N (FAN). Materials and methodsA pot experiment was designed with (1) two N application methods (SAN and FAN), (2) three N application levels (5.6, 15.6 and 20.6 g N m?2 year?1), and (3) two tree species (Schima superba Gardn. et Champ. and Pinus massoniana Lamb.) following a nested factorial design. Soil microbial biomass and community composition were determined using phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) techniques after 1 and 1.5 years of treatments. Results and discussionNitrogen addition increased (P?<?0.05) soil NH4+-N content and soil NO3?-N content and decreased (P?<?0.05) soil pH and soil microbial (bacterial, fungal, and actinomycete) biomass for both N application methods. Compared with the SAN treatment, the FAN treatment had higher (P?<?0.05) pH and lower (P?<?0.05) contents of soil NH4+-N and soil NO3?-N. Soil microbial biomass and community composition were significantly different between the different N addition levels under the SAN treatment, but they showed no significant difference (P?<?0.05) between the different N addition levels under the FAN treatment. The soil microbial biomass in the S. superba soil was higher (P?<?0.05) than that in the P. massoniana soil for the FAN treatment, with the opposite trend observed under the SAN treatment. Moreover, redundancy analysis showed that soil microorganisms were significantly correlated with soil pH, soil water content, NH4+-N, and NO3?-N. ConclusionsThe results showed that N addition affected soil properties, microbial biomass, and the composition of microbial communities; however, the FAN treatment had less influence on soil properties and soil microorganisms than did the SAN treatment over short time scales, and the extent of this effect was different between coniferous and broadleaf trees. 相似文献

PurposeThis work aimed to study the effect of long-term polymetallic contamination on the state and parameters of soil bacterial communities, including the abundance of different groups of culturable bacteria and the activity of nitrification. Materials and methodsMonitoring plots were located in the dry lake and surrounding area, which had been formerly used for the discharge of industrial waste. The soils in the 16 plots were characterized by extremely high levels of heavy metal pollution. This study evaluated the main soil physicochemical properties by various methods, total metal contents by X-ray analysis, mobile metal content by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, the abundance of chosen groups of culturable bacteria by inoculation on solid media, and nitrification activity from ammonium and nitrite oxidation rates. Results and discussionHigh adaptation capacity of microbial communities to long-term pollution was revealed through marked lack of decrease in the abundance of some of the bacterial groups in soils with high contamination levels. Among the bacteria determined by the colony count method, copiotrophic and spore-forming bacteria were the least sensitive to contamination, and actinomycetes were the most sensitive. The high levels of soil pollution with heavy metals had pronounced adverse effects on nitrification activity. The decrease in activity was strongly correlated with pollutant concentrations. The oxidation of nitrite was shown to be more affected by pollution that the oxidation of ammonium. ConclusionsSome groups and parameters of culturable microorganisms can be used for soil status estimation under pollution conditions even though they are only a small fraction of the microbial community. The most sensitive parameter was the nitrification rate, while the number of actinomycetes was found to be most promising parameter among the groups of bacteria determined by plate counts. The use of sensitive groups of culturable microorganisms for bioindication purposes is a method, which may provide a cheap and sufficiently reliable tool for large-scale soil monitoring studies. 相似文献

Soil micro-organisms play a vital role in grassland ecosystem functioning but little is known about the effects of grassland management on spatial patterns of soil microbial communities. We compared plant species composition with terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) fingerprints of soil bacterial and fungal communities in unimproved, restored and improved wet grasslands. We assessed community composition of soil micro-organisms at distances ranging from 0.01 m to 100 m and determined taxa–area relationships from field- to landscape level. We show that land management type influenced bacterial but not fungal community composition. However, extensive grassland management to restore aboveground diversity affected spatial patterns of soil fungi. We found distinct distance–decay and small-scale aggregation of fungal populations in extensively managed grasslands restored from former arable use. There were no clear spatial patterns in bacterial communities at the field-scale. However, at the landscape level there was a moderate increase in bacterial taxa and a strong increase in fungal taxa with the number of sites sampled. Our results suggest that grassland management affects soil microbial communities at multiple scales; the observed small-scale variation may facilitate plant species coexistence and should be taken into account in field studies of soil microbial communities. 相似文献

揭全球气候变化导致丹麦格陵兰岛形成了旱地和间歇淹水的土壤景观,采用稳定性同位素核酸探针技术和高通量测序16S r RNA及pmoA基因的分析方法,开展了格陵兰岛旱地和间歇淹水土壤微宇宙培养试验,探究不同水分条件下冻土的甲烷氧化潜力及活性好氧甲烷氧化菌群落演替规律。结果表明:与旱地土壤相比,淹水土壤氧化高浓度甲烷的速率呈现降低趋势,分别为12.38和12.17μg/(g·d),但后者对甲烷碳同化利用效率显著高于前者,土壤~(13)C-有机碳原子百分比从自然丰度1.08%,分别增加至1.64%和1.99%。超高速密度梯度离心分析~(13)C-DNA发现甲烷氧化菌群落发生演替,旱地土壤中Crenothrix甲烷氧化菌16S rRNA基因丰度仅为0.04%,而在间歇淹水土壤中为23.78%,增幅高达557倍;类型Ⅱ甲烷氧化菌Methylosinus则从33.76%增至44.38%。然而,类型Ⅰ甲烷氧化菌Methylocaldum的丰度明显降低,从旱地土壤10.15%显著降低为间歇淹水0.14%;进一步通过pmo A基因高通量测序分析,也得到了类似的结果,特别是类型Ⅰ甲烷氧化菌RPCs从旱地土壤15.61%显著降低至间歇淹水土壤的0.13%。这些结果表明:尽管格陵兰冻土中经典的类型Ⅱ甲烷氧化菌主导了旱地土壤和间歇性淹水土壤好氧甲烷氧化过程,但水分可能是甲烷氧化菌群落演替的重要环境驱动力,水分增加导致活性的类型Ⅰ种群丰度降低,同时显著刺激了新型甲烷氧化菌Crenothrix的大量生长并可能在间歇淹水土壤中发挥了重要作用。 相似文献

Abstract Methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) are crucial to the reduction of CH 4 emitted to the atmosphere. However, it is unclear how MOB in rice straw are affected by straw decomposition processes. In a Japanese rice field, a year-round experiment was set up to study the effects of agricultural practice (rice cultivation/winter fallow), straw parts (leaf sheath/blade) and the site of straw placement (plow layer/soil surface) on MOB communities in rice straw using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and DNA sequencing analyses of key MOB functional genes ( pmoA and amoA). Thirty-eight different DGGE bands were observed over the entire investigation period. Principal component analysis of DGGE pattern suggested that agricultural practice is the key factor regulating the MOB communities. Sequencing of dominant DGGE bands showed that: (1) during the rice cultivation period, methanotrophs (particularly type I methanotrophs) dominated the MOB community, (2) during the winter fallow season both type I and type II methanotrophs were dominant in sheath segments placed both on the soil surface and in the plow layer, whereas ammonia oxidizers seemed to dominate blade segments placed in the plow layer. Alignment of diagnostic amino acid sequences of MOB suggested the presence of novel ammonia oxidizers in rice straw in rice fields. 相似文献

PurposeThe excessive use of nitrogen (N) fertilizer in intensive agriculture has increased nitrate leaching into groundwater, but its impacts on N transformation processes and the associated microbial communities in the deep vadose zone remain unclear. Materials and methodsSoil samples from 0–1050 cm depth were collected from a 20-year field experiment with two N fertilization treatments: 0 (N0) and 600 kg N ha?1 year?1 (N600). Amplicon sequencing and quantitative PCR analyses were performed to profile the vertical distribution of soil microbial communities and denitrification genes. Results and discussionThe soil microbial community structure and diversity were strongly influenced by soil depth and N fertilization. The 250 cm depth was identified as a threshold depth, as dramatically different microbial communities were found below and above this depth. Quantitative PCR results showed that the absolute abundance of denitrification genes decreased with increasing soil depth. ConclusionThis study elucidated the profound effects of long-term N input on the composition and diversity of the microbial communities and the abundance of denitrifiers in the deep vadose zone. Our results provide basic information for use in mitigating nitrate leaching by enhancing microbial denitrification in deep vadose zones in intensive agricultural areas. 相似文献

The Tibetan Plateau of China is uniquely vulnerable to the global climate change and anthropogenic disturbances. As soil bacteria exert a considerable influence on the ecosystem function, understanding their response to different climates and land-use types is important. Here, we characterized the bacterial community composition and diversity across three major ecosystems (cropland, forest, and grassland) in the Sygera Mountains of Tibet, along a typical elevational gradient (3 300-4 600 m). The abundance of taxa that preferentially inhabit neutral or weak alkaline soil environments (such as Actinobacteria, Thermoleophilia, and some non-acidophilus Acidobacteria) was significantly greater in the cropland than in the forest and grassland. Furthermore, the diversity of soil bacterial communities was also significantly greater in the cropland than in the forest and grassland. We observed a unimodal distribution of bacterial species diversity along the elevation gradient. The dominant phyla Acidobacteria and Proteobacteria exhibited consistent elevational distribution patterns that mirrored the abundance of their most abundant classes, while different patterns were observed for Acidobacteria and Proteobacteria at the class level. Soil pH was the primary edaphic property that regulated bacterial community composition across the different land-use types. Additionally, soil pH was the main factor distinguishing bacterial communities in managed soils ( i.e., cropland) from the communities in the natural environments ( i.e., forest and grassland). In conclusion, land use (particularly anthropogenic disturbances such as cropping) largely controlled soil environment, played a major role in driving bacterial community composition and distribution, and also surpassed climate in affecting bacterial community distribution. 相似文献

In recent years, there has been a growing need to understand how salinity affects microbial communities in agricultural soils. Archaeal and bacterial community diversities and structures were investigated by high-throughput sequencing analysis of their 16S rRNA in two arable soils with low electrical conductivity(EC)(2.3 and 2.6 dS m -1) and a saline soil(EC = 17.6 dS m -1). The dominant bacterial phyla in the soils were Proteobacteria(relative abundance(RA) = 46.2%), followe... 相似文献

Soil microbial communities were examined in a chronosequence of four different land-use treatments at the Konza Prairie Biological Station, Kansas. The time series comprised a conventionally tilled cropland (CTC) developed on former prairie soils, two restored grasslands that were initiated on former agricultural soils in 1998 (RG 98) and 1978 (RG 78), and an annually burned native tallgrass prairie (BNP), all on similar soil types. In addition, an unburned native tallgrass prairie (UNP) and another grassland restored in 2000 (RG 00) on a different soil type were studied to examine the effect of long-term fire exclusion vs. annual burning in native prairie and the influence of soil type on soil microbial communities in restored grasslands. Both 16S rRNA gene clone libraries and phospholipid fatty acid analyses indicated that the structure and composition of bacterial communities in the CTC soil were significantly different from those in prairie soils. Within the time series, soil physicochemical characteristics changed monotonically. However, changes in the microbial communities were not monotonic, and a transitional bacterial community formed during restoration that differed from communities in either the highly disturbed cropland or the undisturbed original prairie. The microbial communities of RG 98 and RG 00 grasslands were also significantly different even though they were restored at approximately the same time and were managed similarly; a result attributable to the differences in soil type and associated soil chemistry such as pH and Ca. Burning and seasonal effects on soil microbial communities were small. Similarly, changing plot size from 300 m 2 to 150 m 2 in area caused small differences in the estimates of microbial community structure. In conclusion, microbial community structure and biochemical properties of soil from the tallgrass prairie were strongly impacted by cultivation, and the microbial community was not fully restored even after 30 years. 相似文献

PurposeOrganic amendments are usually carried out at field-scale for efficient remediation of organic pollutants; however, their effects on pollutant distribution and the corresponding microbial mechanisms were rarely discussed. The main aim of this study was to compare the fate of benz[a]anthracene in soil amended by several bioremediation materials and underlying microbial mechanisms. Materials and methodsIn this study, the potential for biotransformation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in a farmland soil was investigated in microcosms spiked with 14C-benz[a]anthracene as the tracer. A series of organic amendments including lignin, straw, mushroom culture waste, and cow manure, as well as a fungal inoculum of Pleurotus ostreatus, were compared. Illumina sequencing was introduced to reveal the bacterial community in different amendments. The metagenomic function was predicted with the bioinformatics tool of phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states (PICRUSt). Results and discussionFrom the results, the lignin-contained substrates (lignin, straw, mushroom culture waste) showed increase trend in the dissipation of benz[a]anthracene, while Pleurotus ostreatus and cow manure resulted in opposite trends. Specifically, mushroom culture waste mainly increased 14C to the formation of humin-bound residue (39.5?±?6.8%); lignin amendment significantly (P?<?0.05) enhanced the mineralization to CO2 (7.38?±?0.89%) and humic acid–related nonextractable residue (9.77?±?0.45%). The influence of straw on the environmental fate of benz[a]anthracene was marginal. High-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA genes demonstrated that mushroom culture waste and lignin significantly changed bacterial community composition, leading to increases in the relative abundance of Pseudomonadaceae, Methylophilaceae, Bacillaceae, and Burkholderiaceae. Moreover, the result of PICRUSt showed that the genes-encoding bacterial cytochrome P450 enzymes were significantly increased in the lignin treatment, suggesting a possible co-metabolism between lignin degradation and PAH mineralization. ConclusionsThese findings suggest lignin-containing organic amendments could be promising soil remediation agents of benz[a]anthracene by stimulating mineralization and sequestration of pollutants. 相似文献

杉木连作障碍现象普遍发生,同为人工林的毛竹则很少发生。作为土壤健康的重要指标,微生物对土壤肥力具有不可忽视的作用。采用高通量测序法对阔叶、毛竹和杉木三种林分的土壤细菌和真菌群落进行研究,结果表明,毛竹林土壤细菌和真菌Shannon多样性和Invsimpson均匀度指数均显著高于杉木林,甚至高于阔叶林;而优势物种多样性Berger-Parker指数则是杉木显著高于毛竹林;毛竹林土壤Actinobacteria门细菌相对丰度高于阔叶林和杉木林、Basidiomycota门真菌相对丰度显著高于阔叶林和杉木林,杉木林土壤Chloroflexi门细菌相对丰度和Mortierellomycota门真菌相对丰度显著高于毛竹林和阔叶林。结合土壤理化性质分析表明,杉木林土壤养分贫瘠是形成其特殊微生物群落的原因之一,而毛竹林土壤丰富的养分和高pH有利于形成良好微生物群落结构。与杉木相比,毛竹林土壤细菌和真菌特征以及土壤理化性质与阔叶的相似度更高。 相似文献
