Rhizosphere soil microbial community and its response to different utilization patterns in the semi-arid alpine grassland of northern Tibet.

ABSTRACT: As the link between plants and soils, rhizosphere soil microorganisms play an important role in the element cycle. This study aimed to understand the response of the rhizosphere soil microbial community structure and interaction network to grassland utilization in the alpine steppe of the northern Tibet Plateau. High-throughput sequencing was employed to study the composition, diversity, and species interaction network of rhizosphere soil microbial communities under grazing, mowing, and enclosing treatments. Proteobacteria (47.19%) and Actinobacteria (42.20%) were the dominant bacteria in the rhizosphere soil. There was no significant difference in relative abundance among rhizosphere soil microorganisms at phylum and genus levels, but differences were found in Chlorobi, I
