Assessing the Effect of Physicochemical Properties of Saline and Sodic Soil on Soil Microbial Communities

Soil physicochemical properties are the main driving factors affecting stability and diversity of soil microbial community. The impacts saline–alkali situation associated degradation need to be understood reversed as communities increasingly affected by saline–alkaline soil. However, differences between salinization alkalization their impact on microbiota have been overlooked. object this study is demonstrate in microbiota. In study, 12 samples collected from spots were used detect properties. community was sequenced high-throughput sequencing. results ESP EC indicated that categorized saline sodic Venn diagrams unique OTUs showed higher adaptation environmental tolerance. Partial Mantel tests pH, exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP), C/N, Na, K primary determinants relative abundance bacterial fungal communities, besides electrical conductivity (EC). KEGG analysis, mainly cellular processes archaea. Metabolism function positively correlated with only These proportions more strongly
