Effects of different types of vegetation cover on soil microorganisms and humus characteristics of soda-saline land in the Songnen Plain.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In the soda-saline grasslands of the Songnen Plain, Jilin Province, China, the prohibition of grazing has led to significant changes in plant communities and soil properties. However, the intricate interplay between soil physical and chemical attributes, the soil microbial community, and their combined influence on soil humus composition remains poorly understood.

Methods

Our study aimed to evaluate the impact of natural vegetation restoration on soil properties, microbial community diversity, and composition in the soda-saline soil region of the Songnen Plain. We conducted assessments of soil physical and chemical properties, analyzed community diversity, and composition at a soil depth range of 0-20 cm. The study covered soils with dominant soda-saline vegetat
