Continuous planting American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) caused soil acidification and bacterial and fungal communities’ changes
Abstract Background American ginseng is an important herb crop and is widely cultivated in China. However, continuous cropping seriously affects the production of American ginseng, and the reason is still unclear and needs more research. We analyzed the soil microbial alpha diversity and community c...

| description | Abstract Background American ginseng is an important herb crop and is widely cultivated in China. However, continuous cropping seriously affects the production of American ginseng, and the reason is still unclear and needs more research. We analyzed the soil microbial alpha diversity and community composition as well as soil physicochemical properties in bulk soils to assess the changes in soil associated with planting American ginseng. Results The cultivation of American ginseng resulted in a significant decrease in soil pH value. The alpha diversity of soil bacteria and fungi was significantly reduced with the increase of American ginseng planting years. Planting American ginseng also largely altered the community composition of soil bacteria and fungi, in particularly, increased the relative abundance of the pathogenic fungus Fusarium, and reduced the relative abundance of some beneficial microorganisms, such as KD4-96, RB41 and Sphingomonas. Conclusions Soil acidification, reduction of beneficial taxa and accumulation of fungal pathogens, therefore, may lead to the replantation problem of American ginseng. |
