Dynamic Changes in Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Communities and Networks in Minimally Managed Cabbage-Cultivated Field Soils.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

Taxonomic profiling of soil microbial communities is useful for assessing and monitoring the biological status of agricultural land. In this study, we aimed to investigate changes in the taxonomic structure of soil organisms in minimally managed agricultural fields.

Methods

We used DNA metabarcoding to investigate both terrestrial prokaryotes and eukaryotes in cabbage-cultivated and uncultivated sites in a minimally managed agricultural field in central Japan from February to August 2021. Analyses of the relative abundances of prokaryotic and eukaryotic sequence variants (SVs) and their β-diversities, and the subsequent redundancy analysis (RDA) clarified the dynamic changes in eukaryotic communities during cultivation. We further investigated taxonomic
