Abstract:

This work is to study the effect of different nitrogen reduction modes on the bacterial community structure in the underground soil of tea plant. Four nitrogen levels were applied in the soil:16 kg/667 m2pure nitrogen(reducing nitrogen by 55.6%,treatment A),26 kg/667 m2 pure nitrogen(reducing nitrogen by 27.8%,treatment B),36 kg/667 m2 pure nitrogen(conventional fertilization,treatment C),and no nitrogen application(CK). The 36 samples of rhizosphere and non- rhizosphere soil of 0-20 cm and non- rhizosphere soil of 20-40 cm were sequenced by 16S rRNA,and the community structures of soil bacteria under different nitrogen reduction treatments were analyzed at IonS5TMXL high-throughput sequencing platform. The results showed that the OTUs of the 0-20 cm rhizosphere and non rhizosphere soil and 20-40 cm non rhizosphere soil were 505,854 and 835 under the A,B and C treatment,respectively. The specific OTUs gradually decreased with the increase of nitrogen application. The bacterial abundance of the soil was higher in the rhizosphere soil and non- rhizosphere soil of 0-20 cm under nitrogen reduction treatment B,with the highest bacterial diversity. The results of soil carbon flux also confirmed that there were more microorganism in soil under nitrogen reduction treatment B. The dominant bacteria in the underground part of the fertilized tea garden at the phylum level were basically nitrogen metabolism related ones,among which there were three dominant groups,namely Proteobacteria,Actinobacteria and Chloroflexi. At the genus level,the dominant bacteria in the rhizosphere soil and non rhizosphere soil were totally different. The diversity of bacterial community in the tea garden soil was more and the abundance was higher under proper nitrogen reduction treatment,and it was mainly concentrated in the rhizosphere and surrounding soil of nutrient absorption and utilization,which is conducive to the efficient utilization of nutrients in tea garden.
