Response of Soil Bacterial Community Structure to Permafrost Degradation in the Upstream Regions of the Shule River Basin,Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Permafrost degradation affects soil properties and vegetation, but little is known about its consequent effects on the soil bacterial community. In this study, we analyzed the bacterial community structure of 12 permafrost-affected soil samples from four principal permafrost types, sub-stable permafrost (SSP), transition permafrost (TP), unstable permafrost (UP) and extremely unstable permafrost (EUP), to investigate the effects of vegetation characteristics and soil properties on bacterial community structure during the process of permafrost degradation. Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes were the predominant phyla in all four permafrost soil types. The relative abundance of Proteobacteria decreased in the order SSP > TP> UP > EUP, whereas the abundance of Actinobacteria increased in the order SSP < TP < UP < EUP. Moreover, the Actinobacteria/Proteobacteria ratio increased significantly in the order SSP < TP < UP < EUP along with permafrost degradation, which may be useful as a sign of permafrost degradation. Redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that bacterial communities could be clustered by permafrost types. Analysis of single factors revealed that soil moisture (SM) was the most important factor affecting the bacterial community structure and diversity, followed by soil total nitrogen (STN) and vegetation cover (VC). Partial RDA analysis showed that the soil properties and vegetation characteristics jointly shaped the bacterial community structure. Hence, we can conclude that permafrost degradation, caused by global warming, affects vegetation and soil properties and consequently drives changes in the soil bacterial community structure.

【背景】细菌多样性对绿地土壤生态功能有重要作用,但不同年代公园绿地土壤的细菌多样性尚未见相关报道。【目的】研究北京市不同年代公园绿地土壤细菌多样性和群落结构特征。【方法】利用IlluminaMiSeq测序技术,分别对北京市代表性古典公园和现代公园绿地土壤细菌群落多样性进行分析。【结果】北京市公园绿地土壤细菌群落共划分为45个已知的菌门,其中变形菌门、酸杆菌门、绿弯菌门和放线菌门为优势细菌群。土壤细菌群落α多样性分析结果表明,古典公园和现代公园的土壤细菌多样性存在差异,表现为古典公园的丰富度和多样性都高于现代公园。此外,土壤细菌群落相似性分析和主坐标分析都表明古典公园和现代公园的土壤细菌群落结构存在显著差异。冗余分析表明,对土壤微生物群落结构产生显著影响的环境因子分别为土壤含水量、有机质和全氮,其它土壤环境因子无统计学意义。首次引入公园年代作为影响因子进行冗余分析的研究结果表明,公园年代为影响公园细菌群落多样性的重要因子。【结论】不同年代公园绿地土壤细菌群落结构和物种多样性具有显著差异,随着公园年代的增加,土壤肥力和微生物多样性增加,绿地生态系统更稳定,可通过制定不同的绿地管理措施改变公园绿地土壤环境,进而优化土壤细菌群落结构,促进土壤碳氮养分循环,提高土壤肥力。     

Distinct bacterial communities across a gradient of vegetation from a preserved Brazilian Cerrado

The Cerrado biome in the Sete Cidades National Park, an Ecological Reserve in Northeastern Brazil, has conserved its native biodiversity and presents a variety of plants found in other savannas in Brazil. Despite this finding the soil microbial diversity and community structure are poorly understood. Therefore, we described soil bacterial diversity and distribution along a savanna vegetation gradient taking into account the prevailing environmental factors. The bacterial composition was retrieved by sequencing a fragment of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene. The bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were assigned to 37 different phyla, 96 classes, and 83 genera. At the phylum level, a core comprised by Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Verrucomicrobia and Planctomycetes, was detected in all areas of Cerrado. ‘Cerrado stricto sensu’ and ‘Cerradao’ share more similarities between edaphic properties and vegetation and also present more similar bacterial communities, while ‘Floresta decidual’ and ‘Campo graminoide’ show the largest environmental differences and also more distinct bacterial communities. Proteobacteria (26%), Acidobacteria (21%) and Actinobacteria (21%) were the most abundant phyla within the four areas. All the samples present similar bacteria richness (alpha diversity) and the observed differences among them (beta diversity) were more related to the abundance of specific taxon OTUs compared to their presence or absence. Total organic C, N and P are the main abiotic factors structuring the bacterial communities. In summary, our findings show the bacterial community structure was clearly different across the Cerrado gradient, but that these environments share a bacterial phylum-core comprising Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Verrucomicrobia and Planctomycetes with other Brazilian savannas.

Effects of gravel-sand mulching on soil bacterial community and metabolic capability in the semi-arid Loess Plateau,China

Gravel and sand mulching is an indigenous technology used for the crop yield for at least 300 years in the loess area of northwest China; however, little is known about the changes of soil bacterial community and metabolic capability under the mulching. In this study, we investigated the soil microbial community structure and metabolic functional diversity during mulching using Illumina MiSeq sequencing and Biolog ECO method. Totally, 9417 OTUs were classified at 97% similarity level for soil samples after 0 (control), 4, 7, and 10 years of mulching. Dendrogram result indicated that mulching affected the soil bacterial community; and the higher richness and diversity of bacterial community were detected in mulching samples. The average abundance of soil bacteria (such as Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes and Nitrospirae) in mulching samples was higher than samples without mulching. Besides, some microbial communities (such as Rhodobacteraceae, Phenylobacterium, Pseudonocardia, Nonomuraea and Aeromicrobium) were only present in the mulched soil samples. However, the lower metabolic capability was observed in mulching samples based on Biolog method, which the main reason for the opposite result might be that the soil objects detected by the two methods are different. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that gravel and sand mulching affected the structure and metabolic capability of bacterial community and was one reason for crop yield.

植物群落和土壤理化性质对碧塔海湿地土壤细菌群落的影响

土壤微生物是湿地生态系统中土壤-植物系统生源要素迁移转化的引擎。探究湿地生态系统地上植物群落、土壤理化性质和空间结构与土壤细菌间的相互关系是维护湿地生态系统健康和稳定的关键。本研究运用双向指示种分析法(TWINSPAN)对碧塔海湿地采集的35个样方中的植物群落进行分类,并采用高通量测序技术对样方的表层土壤细菌进行测序,分析植物群落、土壤理化性质和空间结构与细菌群落间的关系。结果表明: 双向指示种分析将样方的植物群落划分为3种群落类型,相同类型的植物群落在外貌和结构上相似,说明基于双向指示种分析的数量分类方法在高原湿地生态系统植物群落分类中有较好的适用性;细菌相对丰度统计结果表明,酸杆菌门(21.0%)、绿弯菌门(15.5%)、变形菌门(15.3%)和拟杆菌门 (10.1%)是碧塔海湿地总丰度高于10%的门类,相似性分析(ANOSIM)显示,不同植物群落类型对应的土壤细菌群落存在显著差异,说明植物群落对土壤细菌组成有一定的影响;典范对应分析(CCA)结果显示,植物群落的多样性、含水率、pH、铁和空间结构是影响土壤细菌群落的重要因素。方差分解结果显示,细菌群落既受单一环境变量的影响,也受环境变量间复合作用的影响。综上,地上植物群落、土壤理化环境和空间结构共同塑造细菌群落,地上植物群落-细菌-土壤理化性质是不可分割的整体。

Geographic distance and pH drive bacterial distribution in alkaline lake sediments across Tibetan Plateau

Continent-scale biogeography has been extensively studied in soils and marine systems, but little is known about biogeographical patterns in non-marine sediments. We used barcode pyrosequencing to quantify the effects of local geochemical properties and geographic distance for bacterial community structure and membership, using sediment samples from 15 lakes on the Tibetan Plateau (4-1670?km apart). Bacterial communities were surprisingly diverse, and distinct from soil communities. Four of 26 phyla detected were dominant: Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria, albeit 20.2% of sequences were unclassified at the phylum level. As previously observed in acidic soil, pH was the dominant factor influencing alkaline sediment community structure, phylotype richness and phylogenetic diversity. In contrast, archaeal communities were less affected by pH. More geographically distant sites had more dissimilar communities (r?=?0.443, P?=?0.030). Variance partitioning analysis showed that geographic distance (historical contingencies) contributed more to bacterial community variation (12.2%) than any other factor, although the environmental factors explained more variance when combined (28.9%). Together, our results show that pH is the best predictor of bacterial community structure in alkaline sediments, and confirm that both geographic distance and chemical factors govern bacterial biogeography in lake sediments.

Soil pH is the primary factor driving the distribution and function of microorganisms in farmland soils in northeastern China

Purpose

To understand which environmental factors influence the distribution and ecological functions of bacteria in agricultural soil.

Method

A broad range of farmland soils was sampled from 206 locations in Jilin province, China. We used 16S rRNA gene-based Illumina HiSeq sequencing to estimated soil bacterial community structure and functions.

Result

The dominant taxa in terms of abundance were found to be, Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, Chloroflexi, and Proteobacteria. Bacterial communities were dominantly affected by soil pH, whereas soil organic carbon did not have a significant influence on bacterial communities. Soil pH was significantly positively correlated with bacterial operational taxonomic unit abundance and soil bacterial α-diversity (P<0.05) spatially rather than with soil nutrients. Bacterial functions were estimated using FAPROTAX, and the relative abundance of anaerobic and aerobic chemoheterotrophs, and nitrifying bacteria was 27.66%, 26.14%, and 6.87%, respectively, of the total bacterial community. Generally, the results indicate that soil pH is more important than nutrients in shaping bacterial communities in agricultural soils, including their ecological functions and biogeographic distribution.

     

The prokaryotic diversity of biological soil crusts in the Sonoran Desert (Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, AZ)

We studied prokaryotic community structure and composition in biological soil crusts (BSCs) from the Sonoran Desert, and their variability over space and time, using statistically analyzed, PCR-based molecular surveys of environmental 16S rRNA genes. Four sites, tens of km apart, were sampled, 3 times over a 1 year period, collecting 10 duplicate samples every 50 m in each site. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) revealed communities much less diverse than those of typical soil assemblages, displaying dominance of some bacterial types. No differences in crust microbial diversity or composition were detected between crusts under plant canopies and those in plant interspaces, indicating a likely crust independence from higher plant resources. However, statistically significant variability with space and time could be detected, and samples within a site were more similar than samples between sites. Both temporal and spatial variability in community composition involved non-dominant members of the community. Extensive sequencing and phylogenetic analysis revealed a large array of bacterial types, many novel. The most common included members of Cyanobacteria, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Acidobacteria. Bacteriodetes, Chloroflexi and Gemmatimonadetes were not seen in high numbers, but were present in all sites, and Deinococci were also detected. Archaea were present, but as minor components. Sonoran BSC communities were distinct in rough compositional character from those in bulk arid soils or agricultural soils, and contained reoccurring, uncultured microbes.
