Variation of soil nutrients and bacterial community diversity of different land utilization types in Yangtze River Basin, Chongqing Municipality.

ABSTRACT: The diversity and community distribution of soil bacteria in different land use types in Yangtze River Basin, Chongqing Municipality were studied by using Illumina MiSeq analysis methods. Soil physical and chemical properties were determined, and correlation analyses were performed to identify the key factors affecting bacterial numbers and ?-diversity in these soils. The results showed that the soil physical and chemical properties of different land use types decrease in the order: mixed forest (M2) > pure forest (P1) > grassland (G3) > bare land (B4). There were significant differences in bacterial diversity and communities of different land use types. The diversity of different land use types showed the same sequence with the soil physical and chemical properties. The abundance and diversity of bacterial in M2 and P1 soils was significantly higher than that in G3 and B4 soils. At phylum level, G3 and B4 soils were rich in only Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria, whereas M2 and P1 soils were rich in Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Firmicutes. At genus level, Faecalibacterium and Agathobacter were the most abundant populations in M2 soil and were not found in other soils. Pearson correlation analysis showed that soil moisture content, pH, AN, AP, AK and soil enzyme activity were significantly related to bacterial numbers, diversity and community distribution.

The diversity and community distribution of soil bacteria in different land use types in Yangtze River Basin, Chongqing Municipality were studied by using Illumina MiSeq analysis methods. Soil physical and chemical properties were determined, and correlation analyses were performed to identify the key factors affecting bacterial numbers and α-diversity in these soils.

Project description:The microorganisms of soil are sensitive to their living microenvironment, and their community structure and function will change with the environmental conditions. In the agro-pastoral area on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, revealing the diversity of the soil microbial communities and its response to different soil physicochemical properties and environmental factors are important for ecosystem management. The microbial (bacteria and archaea) community composition and diversity under different land use types (cultivated land, grazing grassland and planted forest) were analyzed by 16S rRNA (V4 region) method in a typical agro-pastoral region in the upper Yellow River basin. Also, the soil nutrients were studied and correlated with the microbial community. The results showed that the soil nutrient contents in grassland were low, but the available nutrients were relatively high. There was a great spatial variability under different distances to the river. The microbial community diversity was lower in the grassland than the cultivated land and forest land closer to the river. For all land uses, the dominant phyla of soil microorganisms included Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes, while the abundance of Clostridia was significantly higher than that of the other groups, indicating that Clostridia dominated the Firmicutes and affected soil microbial community composition. The linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LefSe) analysis showed different biomarkers were more abundant in grassland than other land use types, suggesting that the structure and diversity of soil microorganisms in grassland were significantly different compared with cultivated land and forest land. The distance-based redundancy analysis (db-RDA) results showed that the total phosphorus (TP) and calcium (Ca) were the key environmental factors affecting the diversity and abundance of the soil microbial community in cultivated land and forestland, respectively. However, the microbial diversity in grassland was more related to spatial distance of the river. These results provided a theoretical basis for the changes in the composition, structure, and function of soil microbial communities in agro-pastoral areas.

Project description:Colonial Volvocine Algae (CVA) are of great significance for biological evolution study, but little is presently known about their biogeographic distribution. Meanwhile, with the impact of climate change and human activities, their effects on the distribution and structures of CVA communities also remain largely unknown. Herein, the biogeography of CVA was investigated in the Yangtze River basin, 172 sampling sites were set up within a catchment area of 1,800,000 km2, and the distribution and community composition of CVA were studied using single-molecule real-time sequencing and metabarcoding technology based on the full-length 18S sequence. In 76 sampling sites, CVA was discovered in two families, eight genera, and nine species. Eudorina and Colemanosphaera were the main dominant genus. Based on the result of the random forest model and Eta-squared value, the distribution of CVA was significantly influenced by water temperature, altitude, and TP. CVA could be suitably distributed at an average water temperature of 22°C, an average TP concentration of 0.06 mg/L, and an altitude lower than 3,920 m. To assess the effects of anthropogenic pollution on the structures and co-occurrence patterns of CVA communities, we used a stress index calculated by 10 environmental factors to divide the CVA community into low and high pollution group. Network analysis showed that greater pollution levels would have a negative impact on the co-occurrence patterns and diversity of the CVA community. Finally, to study the scientific distribution of CVA under current and future climate change scenarios, we analyzed the climate suitability regionalization of CVA with the maximum entropy model based on 19 climatic factors and four climate scenarios from 2021 to 2040 published by CMIP6. Our results reveal the suitable areas of CVA, and temperature is an important environmental factor affecting the distribution of CVA. With the change of climate in the future, the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, Chaohu Lake, and Taihu Lake are still highly suitable areas for CVA, but the habitat of CVA may be fragmented, and more thorough temporal surveys and sampling of the sediment or mud are needed to investigate the fragmentation of CVA.
