Abstract:

In order to explore the structure and diversity of soil bacterial communities in the undegraded meadow and degraded meadow in the Sanjiangyuan Region, we systematically analyzed the soil bacterial diversity, community composition and structure, and their interactions with environmental factors, using the nested sampling method and high throughput sequencing technology. The results showed that the alpine meadow degradation had an impact on both vegetation and soil. Alpine meadow degradation reduced the vegetation coverage and richness, increased the soil pH value, and resulted in a transition to alkaline soil, while the contents of total nitrogen, organic matter, and electrical conductivity in soil decreased significantly (P<0.05). The high-throughput sequencing identified 2168457 effective bacterial sequences and 76798 OTUs. The α-diversity and species composition of soil bacterial community were significantly affected by grassland degradation (P<0.05). The Observed Richness, Shannon Index, and Chao 1 Index were significantly higher in the undegraded alpine meadow than those in the degraded alpine meadow. Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Verrucomicrobia, and Thaumarchaeota were the dominant phylum. Alpine meadow degradation increased the relative abundance of Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes, but decreased the relative abundance of Verrucomicrobia. The PCoA and Dissimilarity tests showed that Alpine meadow degradation significantly changed the soil bacterial community structure. Soil heterogeneity had a certain effect on soil bacterial community. The main environmental factors driving the soil bacterial community were soil pH, soil organic matter content, and soil total nitrogen content. Our research systematically analyzed the variation of soil bacterial diversity in degraded alpine meadows, revealed the diversity and composition of soil bacterial communities, and provided a reference for the future research related to the regulation of soil microorganisms on meadow degradation.

Key words: alpine meadow, grassland degradation, high-throughput sequencing, soil bacterial, microbial diversity, community structure

摘要:

为探究三江源区未退化高寒草甸与退化高寒草甸土壤细菌群落结构及多样性,采用巢氏取样方法和高通量测序技术,系统地对土壤细菌群落多样性、群落组成和结构及其与环境因子间的关系进行研究分析。结果表明,草地退化对植被和土壤都产生影响,草地退化降低了植被盖度和丰富度,使得土壤pH值增加,土壤向碱性化过渡,而土壤全氮、有机质和电导率的含量显著降低(P<0.05)。高通量测序得到优质有效细菌序列2168457条和71798个OTUs。草地退化对土壤细菌群落α多样性和物种组成都有显著影响(P<0.05)。其中,草甸退化导致土壤细菌物种指数(Observed Richness)、多样性指数(Shannon Index)和chao 1指数上升;变形菌门(Proteobacteria)、放线菌门(Actinobacteria)、酸杆菌门(Acidobacteria)、拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)、疣微菌门(Verrucomicrobia)、奇古菌门(Thaumarchaeota)为主要优势菌门;草甸退化提高了放线菌门(Actinobacteria)、拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes)的相对丰度,但却降低了疣微菌门(Verrucomicrobia)的相对丰度。通过PCoA和Dissimilarity检验的方法表明草地退化显著改变了退化草地土壤细菌群落结构。土壤异质性对土壤细菌群落具有一定的影响,其中,驱动土壤细菌群落的主要环境因子是土壤pH、有机质含量和总氮含量。该研究分析了细菌群落多样性和组成结构,揭示了退化高寒草甸土壤细菌群落多样性变化规律,为土壤微生物对草地退化方面的研究提供了参考。
