Comparison of root morphology and rhizosphere microbial communities form moso‐bamboo in different forest types

ABSTRACT: Abstract Moso‐bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis), with the favor of human disturbance, rapidly invades adjacent forests to form monocultures in East Asia. Moso‐bamboo not only intrudes the broadleaf forests but also the coniferous, and it could impact by above‐ and below‐ground pathways. However, it still remains unclear whether the below‐ground performance of moso‐bamboo differs from broadleaf to coniferous forests, especially those differing in competitive and nutrient acquisition strategies. In this study, we investigated three types of forest stands in Guangdong, China, including a bamboo monoculture, a coniferous forest, and a broadleaf forest. We found that moso‐bamboo may suffer stronger soil P limitation (soil N/P = 18.16) and may be infected by more AMF in coniferous than broadleaf for
