The cultivation of <i>Panax notoginseng</i> enhances the metabolites and microbial network complexity in the soil of <i>Pinus armandii</i> rather than <i>Pinus kesiya</i>.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The species of tree most appropriate for the cultivation of Sanqi in an understory environment is pine. Nevertheless, the precise type of pine that confers the greatest benefit to soil health during Sanqi cultivation has not been definitively established.

Methods

Herein, four distinct land use configurations were established, including the Pinus armandii, Pinus kesiya, Sanqi-Pinus armandii (SPA), and Sanqi-Pinus kesiya (SPK) systems. High-throughput sequencing technology and metabolomics analysis were used to comparatively evaluate variations in bacterial and fungal community structures and soil metabolites between the SPA and SPK systems.

Results and discussion

After cultivating Sanqi, the content of total phosphorus, ammonium
