Implication

Study evaluates bacterial communities and soil variables in continuous maize cropping, indicating nonlinear changes in diversity and yield loss.

Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate the temporal changes in rhizosphere bacterial communities and their relationship with soil properties during continuous maize cropping.
  • Used a chronosequence representing 0 to 8 years of continuous maize cropping
  • Evaluated soil physicochemical properties and bacterial community composition using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing
  • Measured maize yield and predicted bacterial phenotypes with BugBase.
  • Maize yield declined by 46-55% after 6-8 years of cropping compared to earlier years
  • Bacterial alpha diversity peaked at 3 years, declined at 6 years, and partially recovered at 7-8 years
  • Community composition shifted, with a decrease in Proteobacteria and increase in Actinobacteria in longer-duration treatments.
