Diversity and community structure of ammonia-oxidizing archaea in rhizosphere soil of four plant groups in Ebinur Lake wetland.

The aim of this study was to reveal the differences in the community structure of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) between rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil, to provide a theoretical basis for further study on the relationship between halophyte rhizosphere soil microorganisms and salt tolerance. The results of diversity and community structure showed that the diversity of the AOA community in rhizosphere soil of Reeds was higher than that in non-rhizosphere soil in spring and lower than that in non-rhizosphere soil in summer and autumn. In summer, the diversity of rhizosphere soil of was higher than that of non-rhizosphere soil and lower than that of non-rhizosphere soil in spring and autumn. The diversity of rhizosphere soil of in 3 seasons was lower than that in non-rhizosphere soil. The diversity of rhizosphere soil of was higher than that in non-rhizosphere soil in 3 seasons. In addition, the relative abundance of AOA in rhizosphere soil of 4 plants was higher than that in non-rhizosphere soil. The AOA community in all soil samples was mainly concentrated in and . Redundancy analysis results showed salinity, soil water moisture, pH, and soil organic matter were important factors affecting the differentiation of AOA communities.
