Combined intensive management of fertilization, tillage, and organic material mulching regulate soil bacterial communities and functional capacities by altering soil potassium and pH in a Moso bamboo forest.

ABSTRACT: Intensive management is a common practice in agricultural and forestry ecosystems to improve soil quality and crop yield by influencing nutrient supply and soil microbiota; however, the linkage between soil nutrients and bacterial community and functional capacities in intensively managed economic forests has not been well studied. In this study, we investigated the soil properties such as available potassium (AK), available nitrogen (AN), available phosphorus (AP), ammonium (NH 4+ ), nitrate (NO 3- ), organic matter (OM), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), bacterial diversity and community composition, potential functions of rhizome roots, and soil microbiota across a chronosequence of intensively managed Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) forests. Our results demonstrated
