Effects of fertilizer application on the bacterial community and weathering characteristics of typical purple parent rocks by Xuan Wang, Xuan Wang, Jixia Zhao, Chunpei Li, Chunpei Li, Limei Deng, Limei Deng, Rongyang Cui, Rongyang Cui, Tao Zhou, Tao Zhou, Zakir Hussain, Zakir Hussain, Gangcai Liu

“…Structural equation model indicated that fertilizer application affects weathering through multiple pathways by affecting the chemical properties (pH, C:N and AP), specific bacterial genera (IMCC26256, Ramlibacter, and Nitrosospira), and bacterial community composition of weathered products.DiscussionOur study links weathering characteristics with chemical properties and bacterial community changes of weathered products after fertilizer application, which plays a key role in controlling and predicting dynamic changes of rock weathering in space and time. It is helpful to further understand the law of human activities affecting the surface processes.…”
