Effects of planting patterns on physicochemical properties, metabolites and microbial community structure of rhizosphere soil in perennial cultivated grassland.

ABSTRACT: Establishing perennial cultivated grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau helps address the seasonal imbalance of forage resources and supports the restoration of degraded grasslands. The most common planting patterns-monocropping and mixed cropping-are well-studied in terms of vegetation structure, productivity, and soil nutrients. Despite their significance, the influence of prolonged planting practices on underground soil microbial communities and metabolites has often been neglected. In this study, two characteristic plants, Festuca sinensis 'Qinghai' and Poa pratensis 'Qinghai', from the area around Qinghai Lake were selected as the experimental subjects by employing 16 S and ITS sequencing methods in conjunction with non-targeted metabolomics analysis.
