Similarities and differences in the microbial structure of surface soils of different vegetation types.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Soil microbial community diversity serves as a highly sensitive indicator for assessing the response of terrestrial ecosystems to various changes, and it holds significant ecological relevance in terms of indicating ecological alterations. At the global scale, vegetation type acts as a major driving force behind the diversity of soil microbial communities, encompassing both bacterial and fungal components. Modifications in vegetation type not only induce transformations in the visual appearance of land, but also influence the soil ecosystem's material cycle and energy flow, resulting in substantial impacts on the composition and performance of soil microbes.
