Soil bacterial community dynamics reflect changes in plant community and soil properties during the secondary succession of abandoned farmland in the Loess Plateau

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the changes in soil properties and plant and soil microbial communities during the secondary succession on abandoned cropland in the Loess Plateau of China using high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rhizosphere soil microbial activity under different vegetation types on the Loess Plateau, China

TL;DR: It was concluded that plant species under arid climatic conditions have different effects on the microbial properties of rhizosphere soil owing to their different root exudates and plant debris, and natural grasslands are most effective for revegetation of the Loess Plateau.
Journal ArticleDOI

Soil organic carbon and total nitrogen storage as affected by land use in a small watershed of the Loess Plateau, China

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of land use on the distribution and storage of organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) at different soil depths was investigated in the Zhifanggou Watershed on the Loess Plateau.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison of soil qualities of different revegetation types in the Loess Plateau, China

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the effect of different vegetation types on physicochemical and microbial soil properties in the Loess Plateau, with the aim of determining which revegetation type has the best capacity for soil recovery.
