Effects of compost as a soil amendment on bacterial community diversity in saline-alkali soil.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Soil salinization poses a worldwide challenge that hampers agricultural productivity.

Methods

Employing high-throughput sequencing technology, we conducted an investigation to examine the impact of compost on the diversity of bacterial communities in saline soils. Our study focused on exploring the diversity of bacterial communities in the inter-root soil of plants following composting and the subsequent addition of compost to saline soils.

Results

Compared to the initial composting stage, Alpha diversity results showed a greater diversity of bacteria during the rot stage. The germination index reaches 90% and the compost reaches maturity. The main bacterial genera in compost maturation stage are Flavobacterium, Saccharomonospora, Luteimo
