Characterization of Soil Bacterial Communities in Different Vegetation Types on the Lava Plateau of Jingpo Lake by Yanli Zhang, Jiaxing Huang, Jiaxin Xue, Kaining Zhang, Xintong Chen, Jianhui Jia, Qingyang Huang

“…The soil organic matter (SOM), available nitrogen (AN), total nitrogen (TN), and soil water content (SWC) were significantly correlated with the bacterial community structure (<i>p</i> < 0.05 or <i>p</i> < 0.01), acting as key determinants of the microbial community structure and function. PICRUSt2 functional predictions revealed significant variations in the metabolic functions of the soil bacterial communities across vegetation types, indicating distinct functional specializations. …”
