The diversity pattern of soil bacteria in the rhizosphere of different plants in mountain ecosystems.

Research on the composition and diversity of rhizosphere microbial communities of different plant species can help to identify important microbial functional groups or functional potentials, which is of great significance for vegetation restoration and ecological reconstruction. To provide scientific basis for the management of mountain ecosystem, the diversity pattern of rhizosphere bacterial community was investigated using 16 S rRNA high-throughput sequencing method among different host plants (Cirsium japonicum, Artemisia annua, Descurainia sophia, Lepidium apetalum, Phlomis umbrosa, and Carum carvi) in Tomur Peak National Nature Reserve, China. The results showed that the richness and diversity of rhizosphere bacteria were highest in Descurainia sophia, and lowest in Lepidium apetalum.
