Nitrogen Fertilizer Driven Bacterial Community Structure in a Semi-Arid Region of Northeast China

The soil nitrogen (N) cycle is an essential role of the biogeochemical cycle. Bacteria play an irreplaceable part in the soil N cycle, but the impact of different N gradients on bacterial communities remains unclear. The purpose of this research was to explore the bacterial abundance, community comp...

description The soil nitrogen (N) cycle is an essential role of the biogeochemical cycle. Bacteria play an irreplaceable part in the soil N cycle, but the impact of different N gradients on bacterial communities remains unclear.

N application significantly affected bacterial abundance and community composition. Bacterial diversity was enhanced at low N application rates and reduced at higher N application rates. Principal coordinate analysis showed that bacterial community structure was separated into two groups between low N application rates and high N application rates; these differences in bacterial community structure may be driven by available nitrogen (AN).
