Unveiling the Hidden Responses: Metagenomic Insights into Dwarf Bamboo (Fargesia denudata) Rhizosphere under Drought and Nitrogen Challenges.

ABSTRACT: Dwarf bamboo (Fargesia denudata) is a crucial food source for the giant pandas. With its shallow root system and rapid growth, dwarf bamboo is highly sensitive to drought stress and nitrogen deposition, both major concerns of global climate change affecting plant growth and rhizosphere environments. However, few reports address the response mechanisms of the dwarf bamboo rhizosphere environment to these two factors. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of drought stress and nitrogen deposition on the physicochemical properties and microbial community composition of the arrow bamboo rhizosphere soil, using metagenomic sequencing to analyze functional genes involved in carbon and nitrogen cycles. Both drought stress and nitrogen deposition significantly altered the soil nutr
