The Coexistence Relationship Between Plants and Soil Bacteria Based on Interdomain Ecological Network Analysis.

ABSTRACT: The relationship between plants and their associated soil microbial communities plays a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem processes and function. However, identifying these complex relationships is challenging. In this study, we constructed an interdomain ecology network (IDEN) of plant-bacteria based on SparCC pairwise associations using synchronous aboveground plant surveys and belowground microbial 16S rRNA sequencing among four different natural forest types along the climate zones in China. The results found that a total of 48 plants were associated with soil bacteria among these four sites, and soil microbial group associations with specific plant species existed within the observed plant-bacteria coexistence network. Only 0.54% of operational taxonomy units (OTUs) was shared by
