Effect of compost as a soil amendment on the structure and function of fungal diversity in saline-alkali soil.

ABSTRACT: Agricultural productivity is significantly impeded by salinization, which also adversely affects the environment. The use of compost as a soil conditioner has been shown to effectively ameliorate saline-alkali soils. Nonetheless, there is a paucity of research investigating the effects of compost on microbial populations within these soils. This study utilized high-throughput sequencing technology to specifically investigate the impact of compost addition on fungal diversity and the composting process in saline-alkali soils. The aim was to elucidate the effects of compost incorporation on the composition, structure, and functional group characteristics of fungal communities in such soils. The findings indicate that fungal diversity varied across different fermentation stages, with the pred
