Variation in Bacterial and Fungal Communities in Soils from Three Major Apple Pear (Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd.) Orchards.

ABSTRACT: Microbial communities are closely related to the overall health and quality of soil, but studies on microbial ecology in apple pear orchard soils are limited. In the current study, 28 soil samples were collected from three apple pear orchards, and the composition and structure of fungal and bacterial communities were investigated by high-throughput sequencing. The molecular ecological network showed that the keystone taxa of bacterial communities were Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, Acidobacteria, Nitrospirae, and Chloroflexi, and the keystone taxon of fungal communities was Ascomycota. Mantel tests showed that soil texture and pH were important factors shaping soil bacterial and fungal communities, and soil water soluble o
