Distinct Bacterial Communities Within the Nonrhizosphere, Rhizosphere, and Endosphere of Ammodendron bifolium Under Winter Condition in the Takeermohuer Desert.

ABSTRACT: Due to human activities and severe climatic conditions, the population of Ammodendron bifolium, an excellent sand-fixing plant, has gradually decreased in the Takeermohuer Desert. The plant-associated bacteria community can enhance its survival in harsh environments. However, the understanding of A. bifolium-associated bacterial community is still unclear during the harsh winter. We investigated the bacterial community structure from the A. bifolium rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere at different depths (i.e., 0-40 cm, 40-80 cm, 80-120 cm) and from endosphere (i.e., root endosphere and stem endosphere) in winter. At the same time, we analyzed the impact of different compartments and soil factors on the bacterial community structure. Studies have shown that the A. bifolium rhizosphere exhibits
