Inconsistent response of bacterial phyla diversity and abundance to soil salinity in a Chinese delta

Abstract Soil salinization is an increasingly serious problem and decreases crop yields in the Yellow River Delta (YRD), but its effects on bacterial community and diversity at the phylum level are not well known. We used high-throughput sequencing of soil bacterial 16S rRNA to identify soil bacteri...
