Invasive plants can change soil microbial communities and therefore promote invasion. While vegetation restoration has been adopted in certain infested lands to curb the invasion of , changes in the composition and function of rhizosphere soil bacterial communities of the species before and after the restoration has not yet been reported. In this study, two vegetation combinations used in previous studies were selected as candidates:++ (T1) and +++ (T2). Rhizosphere soil samples were collected from each combination (T1 and T2), a invaded area (SR), and the native plant (NP) control to analyze the bacterial community structure and diversity using 16S rDNA gene sequencing on the Illumina MiSeq platform. PICRUSt was further used to predict the functional abilities of soil bacterial communities. Results of 16S rDNA gene sequencing showed that both the Simpson and Chao1 indices were higher in the SR treatment than in the NP treatment, but neither reached a significant level, although both indices decreased significantly after vegetation restoration (T1 and T2; <0.05). The relative abundance of , , and from phylum Proteobacteria and from the phylum Acidobacteria were significantly lower in the SR treatment (<0.05) when compared with the NP treatment and higher in restoration treatments (T1 and T2). The RDA analysis showed that soil organic matter (OM), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), total potassium (TK), and available potassium (AK) were important factors affecting the composition of the bacterial community. Based on the PICRUSt analysis of soil bacterial community functions, the relative abundance of gene families related to biosynthesis of amino acids, purine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, ribosome, and aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis were higher in the rhizosphere samples of the SR treatment than those of the NP treatment and reduced significantly after vegetation restoration (T1 and T2; <0.05). The structure and function of rhizosphere soil bacterial community of and vegetation restoration were analyzed and provided a theoretical basis for the invasion mechanism and ecological restoration of .

Mowing is a primary practice in temperate meadows, which are severely degraded due to frequent mowing, overgrazing, and other factors, necessitating restoration and sustainable management. The natural recovery of these grasslands hinges on their germinable soil seed banks, which form the basis for future productivity. Thus, germinable soil seed banks are critical for restoring overexploited meadows.

Under climate change, ecosystems are experiencing novel drought regimes, often in combination with stressors that reduce resilience and amplify drought's impacts. Consequently, drought appears increasingly likely to push systems beyond important physiological and ecological thresholds, resulting in substantial changes in ecosystem characteristics persisting long after drought ends (i.e.

Vegetation productivity and ecosystem carbon sink capacity are significantly influenced by seasonal weather patterns. The time lags between changes in these patterns and ecosystem (including vegetation) responses is a critical aspect in vegetation-climate and ecosystem-climate interactions. These lags can vary considerably due to the spatial heterogeneity of vegetation and ecosystems.

The vegetation index is a key satellite-based variable used to monitor global vegetation distribution and growth. However, existing vegetation index datasets face limitations in achieving both high spatial and temporal resolution, restricting their application potential. This study revised a machine learning spatiotemporal fusion model (InENVI) to produce a high-resolution NDVI dataset with 8-day temporal and 30 m spatial resolution, covering China from 2001 to 2020.

Vegetation ecological restoration technology is widely regarded as an environmentally sustainable and green technology for the remediation of mineral waste. The appropriate ratio of amendments can improve the substrate environment for plant growth and increase the efficiency of ecological restoration. Herbs and shrubs are preferred for vegetation restoration in abandoned mines because of their rapid establishment and easy management.
