Plant Taxonomic Diversity Better Explains Soil Fungal and Bacterial Diversity than Functional Diversity in Restored Forest Ecosystems

Plants, 2019
Plant attributes have direct and indirect effects on soil microbes via plant inputs and plant-mediated soil changes. However, whether plant taxonomic and functional diversities can explain the soil microbial diversity of restored forest ecosystems ...

Microbial interactions play an important role in regulating the effects of plant species on soil bacterial diversity

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Plant species and microbial interactions have significant impacts on the diversity of bacterial communities. However, few studies have explored interactions among these factors, such the role of microbial interactions in regulating the effects of plant ...

Divergent drivers determine soil bacterial β-diversity of forest and grassland ecosystems in Northwest China

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
The determinants of bacterial β-diversity across the large scale have been well explored, yet little is known that about how the driving factors of bacterial β-diversity differ between the forest and grassland in northwest China. Here, we comprehensively

Effects of nitrogen and phosphorus imbalance input on rhizosphere and bulk soil bacterial community of Suaeda salsa in the Yellow River Delta

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionThe effects of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) addition on soil microbial diversity have been widely studied, however, the response of bacterial community to N and P imbalance input remains unclear.MethodsUsing a high-throughput Illumina ...

Warming alters elevation distributions of soil bacterial and fungal communities in alpine grasslands

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
It is still unknown whether climate warming can change the elevation distribution of soil microbial communities in alpine grasslands. Both species and phylogenetic β-diversity of soil bacterial and fungal communities were investigated at three alpine ...

Canopy and Understory Nitrogen Addition Alters Organic Soil Bacterial Communities but Not Fungal Communities in a Temperate Forest

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is known to alter soil microbial communities, but how canopy and understory N addition affects soil bacterial and fungal communities in different soil layers remains poorly understood.

Land-use intensity indirectly affects soil multifunctionality via a cascade effect of plant diversity on soil bacterial diversity

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Land-use intensification impairs multiple soil ecosystem functions and services (hereafter ‘soil multifunctionality’; SMF) crucial to human wellbeing by influencing plant diversity and soil microbial communities. However, available information is limited

Soil bacterial community responses to short-term grazing exclusion in a degraded alpine shrubland – grassland ecotone

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Grazing exclusion by fencing is a common and effective grassland management strategy for degraded grassland restoration. Soil bacteria, the most important decomposers of soil organic matter, is the linkage between plant and soil.
