Effects of Temperature and Nitrogen Application on Carbon and Nitrogen Accumulation and Bacterial Community Composition in Apple Rhizosphere Soil.

ABSTRACT: Malus sieversii grows on the slopes of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang where the difference in daily temperature is significant. In recent years, the rhizosphere soil health of Malus sieversii has been severely impacted by anthropogenic disturbance and pathogenic infestation. The soil nutrient content and soil microorganism diversity are the main components of soil health. Low temperature has negative effects on soil bacterial community structure by inhibiting the accumulation of carbon and nitrogen. However, the effects of temperature and nitrogen application on soil carbon and nitrogen accumulation and the bacterial community composition in the rhizosphere soil of Malus sieversii are unclear. We set two temperature levels, i.e., low temperature (L) and room temperature (
