Influence of Different Vegetation Types on Soil Physicochemical Parameters and Fungal Communities.

ABSTRACT: This study assessed the effects of Betula dahurica (BD), Betula platyphylla (BP), Larix gmelinii (LG), Quercus mongolica (QM), and a mixed conifer-broadleaf forest composed of LG and QM (LGQM) on the soil physicochemical parameters and community structure of fungi in the Zhongyangzhan Black-billed Capercaillie Nature Reserve. Fungal community structures were characterized via ITS rRNA sequencing. The effects of soil parameters on the community structure of soil fungi were assessed by Pearson correlation analysis and redundancy analysis (RDA). LGQM exhibited lower C/N, available nitrogen (AN), total phosphorus (TP), and available phosphorus (AP) compared with the QM broadleaf forest. The fungal Shannon and Simpson diversity indices were highest in BP, whereas LG
