Effects of Plantation Type and Soil Depth on Microbial Community Structure and Nutrient Cycling Function.

ABSTRACT: Declining soil quality and microecological imbalances were evaluated in larch plantations in this study. One potential solution to this problem is the cultivation of mixed coniferous and broad-leaved plantations. However, it is unclear whether and how soil microbial community structure and nutrient cycling function would be affected by mixed plantations and soil depths. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing technology to investigate bacterial 16S and fungal ITS regions for comparisons of soil microbial diversity among plantation types (a Larix gmelinii pure plantation, a Fraxinus mandshurica pure plantation, a Larix-Fraxinus mixed plantation within the Larix row, the Fraxinus row, and between the Larix and Fraxinus rows) a
