Variation of Structure of Bacterial Communities in Soils with Typical Plant Communities in Nanjishan Wetlands
The soil samples at depths of 0-15 cm,15-30 cm and 30-45 cm in three typical sites covered with Carex cinerascens,Triarrhena lutarioriparia and Cynodon dactylon) of Nanjishan wetlands were collected in October 2009,October 2010 and October 2011.The structures of bacterial communities in the soils with three kinds of plant communities were examined by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP).To explore variation of the structures of bacterial communities and the influencing factors on them,the T-RFLP relative abundance data and physicochemical parameters were analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA),canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) and pearson correlation analysis.The results showed there were significant variations of soil bacterial communities among the samples and years.The structure of soil bacterial communities in October 2011 was significantly different from those in October of 2009 and 2010.In addition,the vegetation was also significant impacted the structures.The structures of soil bacterial communities with Cynodon dactylon was significantly different from Carex cinerascens and Triarrhena lutarioriparia in the same year.However,there was no significantly different between three soil depths.The results further showed the content of total phosphorus in the soil significantly affected the structure of bacterial communities;the ash free dry mass,and contents of total organic carbon,total nitrogen,and moisture in the soils significantly affected the structure of soil bacterial communities.But these physicochemical parameters only explain 11.6% of the variation of the bacterial communities.
