Initial microbiome and tree root status structured the soil microbial community discrepancy of the subtropical pine-oak forest in a large urban forest park.

ABSTRACT: Plant-microbe-soil interactions control over the forest biogeochemical cycling. Adaptive plant-soil interactions can shape specific microbial taxa in determining the ecosystem functioning. Different trees produce heterogeneous soil properties and can alter the composition of soil microbial community, which is relevant to the forest internal succession containing contrasting stand types such as the pine-oak forests. Considering representative microbial community characteristics are recorded in the original soil where they had adapted and resided, we constructed a soil transplant incubation experiment in a series of in situ root-ingrowth cores in a subtropical pine-oak forest, to simulate the vegetational pine-oak replacement under environmental succession. The responsive bacterial an
