A Stronger Rhizosphere Impact on the Fungal Communities Compared to the Bacterial Communities in Pecan Plantations.

ABSTRACT: Understanding microbial communities associated with bulk and rhizosphere soils will benefit the maintenance of forest health and productivity and the sustainable development of forest ecosystems. Based on MiSeq sequencing, we explored the differences between the bulk soil and the rhizosphere soil on bacterial and fungal communities of pecan plantation. Results suggested that rhizosphere-associated fungal rather than bacterial community structures differed from bulk soil, and rhizosphere soil had lower fungal diversity than bulk soil. Actinobacteria and Cantharellales were the bacterial and fungal biomarkers of the rhizosphere soil of pecan plantation, respectively. In addition, Pleosporales, which are mainly involved in saprophylaxis and plant pathogenic processes, was
