High-throughput sequencing reveals rhizosphere fungal community composition and diversity at different growth stages of Populus euphratica in the lower reaches of the Tarim River.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Populus euphratica is one of the most ancient and primitive tree species of Populus spp and plays an important role in maintaining the ecological balance in desert areas. To decipher the diversity, community structure, and relationship between rhizosphere fungi and environmental factors at different growth stages of P. euphratica demands an in-depth investigation.

Methods

In this study, P. euphratica at different growth stages (young, medium, overripe, and decline periods) was selected as the research object, based on the determination of the physicochemical properties of its rhizosphere soil, the fungal community structure and diversity of P. euphratica and their correlation with soil physicochemical properties were comprehensiv
