Other claims from this paper (11)
- Association Bacterial diversity differed significantly among plant communities, being higher in Stipa breviflora-dominated soils than in Peganum harmala-dominated soils.
- Observation Acidobacteriota was the dominant bacterial phylum (21.5%).
- Observation Crenarchaeota was the dominant archaeal phylum (97.3%).
- Observation Ascomycota was the dominant fungal phylum (82.1%).
- Association Bacterial diversity was significantly correlated with soil pH, available potassium and carbonate content.
- Association Fungal diversity correlated significantly only with available phosphorus.
- Association Environmental factors explained 66.1% of archaea community structure variation.
- Association Environmental factors explained 49.0% of bacteria community structure variation.
- Association Environmental factors explained 32.8% of fungi community structure variation.
- Mechanism Structural equation modeling indicated plant communities influenced bacterial communities primarily through soil pH and ion contents.
- Recommendation The authors propose soil bacterial diversity as a bioindicator for monitoring degradation in desert steppe ecosystems.
