Abstract:

In order to deepen the understanding of the soil environment in central Alxa, and provide theoretical basis for the evaluation of vegetation ecological function and the conservation and restoration of plant community, based on 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing and related statistical analysis methods, the soil bacteria of the surface and subsurface beneath five shrub species (Reaumuria soongarica, Potaninia mongolica, Ammopiptanthus mongolicus, Zygophyllum xanthoxylum and Nitraria tangutoru) were studied. The results showed that Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria were the main soil bacteria under the five shrubs. There were differences in soil bacterial community structure, diversity and community function between different soil layers and shrubs. The content of Mg2+, total carbon and HCO3- in soil were more associated with soil bacterial community structure. The difference of soil bacterial community structure was consistent with the phylogeny genetic relationship of five shrubs, and the surface soil was more affected by plant morphology, physiological characteristics and specific survival strategies.

Key words: desert shrubs, soil bacteria, Alxa Desert, community structure, soil layer
