Overview

Randomized trial examines microbial community impacts on carbon accumulation in degraded karst ecosystems, suggesting calcium's key role.

Key Points

  • This study aims to investigate the effects of vegetation restoration on soil microbial communities and carbon accumulation in karst ecosystems.
  • Compared 21 years of artificial and natural vegetation restoration effects on microbial structures and carbon accumulation.
  • Involved four site types: cropland, mature forest, plantation forest, and naturally restored shrubland.
  • Analyzed microbial diversity, network complexity, and soil biogeochemical indicators.
  • Bacterial diversity significantly increased in shrubland and plantation forest, with specific taxa shifts observed.
  • Plantation forest exhibited the highest microbial necromass carbon accumulation, with increases of 78% for bacteria and 64% for fungi compared to cropland.
  • Exchangeable calcium was identified as a critical factor influencing both microbial community structure and carbon accumulation.
