Effects of agricultural management on rhizosphere microbial structure and function in processing tomato

Agricultural management practices affect bulk soil microbial communities and the ecosystem functions they carry out, but it remains unclear whether these effects extend to the rhizosphere. Given close linkages between rhizosphere processes and plant nutrition and productivity, understanding how management practices impact this critical zone is of great importance to optimize plant-soil interactions for agricultural sustainability. A comparison of six paired conventional-organic processing tomato farms was conducted to investigate relationships between management, soil physicochemical parameters, and rhizosphere microbial community composition and functions.

农业管理措施对大量土壤微生物群落及其所执行生态系统功能产生影响，然而，这些影响是否延伸至根际尚不明确。鉴于根际过程与植物营养及生产力之间的紧密联系，探究管理措施如何影响这一关键区域对于优化植物-土壤相互作用以实现农业可持续性具有重要意义。本研究通过对六对传统有机处理番茄农场进行比较，旨在研究管理措施、土壤物理化学参数与根际微生物群落组成及功能之间的关系。
