Changes in Soil Properties and Culturable Bacteria Diversity in Zhadang Glacier Foreland
Species diversity of culturable bacteria and the shifts of physicochemical properties of soil samples at different distances from the Zhadang Glacier foreland were investigated respectively by the culture method and physicochemical analyses. The results show that the amount of culturable bacteria ranges from 104 to 105 CFU · g-1. The culturable bacteria belong to the following groups: α-Proteobacteria, β-Proteobacteria, γ-Proteobacte-ria, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria. The diversity changes with glacial retreat. Shifts in the C and N content are correlated to distances. These mean that the longer the soil exposure, the more the C and N content. The results indicate that diverse bacteria exist in the glacier foreland and the composition of bacteria in soil changes dynamically; as a result, the nutritional status of soil will be affected.
