Abstract:
Environmental factor-driven bacterial diversity could be an indicator for evaluating ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF). However, little is known about interconnections between EMF and the community diversity of rare and abundant phoD-harboring bacteria responsible for organic phosphorus mineralization. Illumina MiSeq sequencing and multiple statistical analyses were used to evaluate diversity maintenance of rare and abundant phoD-harboring bacteria at both taxonomic and phylogenetic levels and their contributions to soil EMF in the subtropical Shennongjia primeval forest. We found that rare phoD-harboring bacteria exhibited higher community diversity and broader environmental breadths than abundant ones, while abundant phoD-harboring bacteria showed closer phylogenetic clustering and stronger phylogenetic signals of ecological preferences than rare ones. Stochastic processes dominated community assemblies of rare and abundant phoD-harboring bacteria, and temperature was an important environmental variable adjusting the balance between stochastic and deterministic processes. The taxonomic alpha-diversity of rare phoD-harboring bacteria showed larger contribution to soil EMF than that of abundant ones, while the phylogenetic alpha-diversity of abundant phoD-harboring bacteria contributed significantly more than that of rare ones. Our findings enrich knowledge of the environmental adaptation of rare and abundant phoD-harboring bacteria, and highlight linkages between soil EMF and the diversity of rare and abundant phoD-harboring bacteria at both the taxonomic and phylogenetic levels
