Microbial diversity and abundance in loamy sandy soil under renaturalization of former arable land.

ABSTRACT: The abundance and taxonomic diversity of different physiological groups of bacteria and fungi and yeasts in the fields of the long-term experiment of renaturalization of infertile arable soils were studied. The experiment involved four land conversion methods: conversion of arable land to cultivated meadow, soil and forest, leaving the experimental area of arable land. With these studies, we have begun to fill research gaps related to the taxonomic and functional diversity of soil microorganisms. The greatest changes in the abundance of cultivable organotrophic, diazotrophic and nitrifying bacteria were found to be observed in those areas where anthropogenic activities took place, i.e. in the cultivated field and in the cultural grassland. The abundance of bacteria was relatively lower and
