Abstract
The widespread abandoned saline-alkali soils in the Manas River Basin in northwest China have been reclaimed for cotton cropping in recent decade. However, the temporal dynamics of soil microbial functional genes during the reclamation of abandoned salinized farmlands remains unclear. In this study, the abandoned salinized cotton fields that had been reclaimed for 1, 3, 5, and 7 years were selected to study the temporal dynamics of soil microbial functional genes through metagenomic technology. The abundance of genes involved in C, N, P, and S cycles increased significantly since the reclamation, among them, the abundance of KEGG Pathway genes and Enzymes after the reclamation increased by 29.10 and 30.20%, respectively compared with those of the CK (abandoned salinized farmland). The Shannon index of KEGG Pathway and Enzyme-annotated genes after the reclamation increased by 0.82 and 1.10%, respectively compared with those of the CK. The permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) and correlation analysis showed that the decrease in soil Na+ content and the increase in soil C/N ratio induced by the reclamation increased the abundance and diversity of soil microbial functional genes. After the reclamation, continuous straw incorporation and fertigation increased the soil C/N ratio, and reduced salinity, thus improving soil quality and soil microbial ecological functions. This study will provide reference for the rational development and utilization of abandoned salinized soils in arid areas.
期刊介绍：
Eurasian Soil Science publishes original research papers on global and regional studies discussing both theoretical and experimental problems of genesis, geography, physics, chemistry, biology, fertility, management, conservation, and remediation of soils. Special sections are devoted to current news in the life of the International and Russian soil science societies and to the history of soil sciences.
Since 2000, the journal Agricultural Chemistry, the English version of the journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences Agrokhimiya, has been merged into the journal Eurasian Soil Science and is no longer published as a separate title.
