description | Near-natural forest management plays an important role in the maintenance of the long-term productivity and soil fertility of plantations. We conducted high-throughput absolute quantitative sequencing of 16S rRNA genes to compare the structures and diversity of rhizosphere soil bacterial communities among a pure Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) plantation (S), a Cunninghamia lanceolata-Castanopsis hystrix-Michelia hedyosperma mixed plantation (SHX), and a Cunninghamia lanceolata-Castanopsis fissa mixed plantation (SD). The results revealed that near-natural forest management improved the rhizosphere soil properties of Chinese fir, especially the phosphorus content. Rhizosphere soil bacterial communities of Chinese fir in SHX and SD contained higher total absolute abundances and more unique operational taxonomic units (OTUs) than the pure plantation forest. Planctomycetes and Actinobacteria were abundant in SD, and Actinobacteria were enriched in SHX. The tree species also had an impact on the rhizosphere soil bacterial communities. For the rhizosphere soils of different tree species of SHX, the available phosphorus (AP) content of the rhizosphere of Chinese fir significantly surpassed those of Castanopsis hystrix and Michelia hedyosperma. Bacteria related to nitrogen fixing, such as Burkholderiales and Rhizobiales, were more abundant in Chinese fir in SD than in Castanopsis fissa. Acdiobacteria and Proteobacteria underpinned the differences found in the compositions of soil bacteria. The pH and soil organic matter were key variables influencing the rhizosphere soil bacterial communities. Our results demonstrated that in Chinese fir plantations, 12 years of near-natural management of introduced broad-leaved tree species can drive alterations of the physicochemical characteristics, bacterial community structure, and composition of rhizosphere soil, with tree species identity further influencing the rhizosphere soil bacterial community. IMPORTANCE Near-natural forest management is an important way to change the soil fertility decline and productivity reduction of pure Chinese fir plantations. At present, many detailed studies have been carried out on the impact of near-natural forest management on Chinese fir plantations at home and abroad. However, there are still few studies on the response of rhizosphere bacterial communities to near-natural forest management. Our study determined absolute quantities of Chinese fir rhizosphere bacterial communities in different mixed patterns. The results underscore the importance of near-natural forest management for Chinese fir plantation rhizosphere bacterial communities and provide new information on soil factors that affect rhizosphere bacterial communities in South China. |
