Abstract
Tea (Camellia sinensis) is widely cultivated worldwide. This study explores the effects of different tea varieties on soil organic matter (SOM) content and microbial communities in tea plantations, providing insights for the green development of the tea industry. We conducted a comparative analysis using metagenomic sequencing to evaluate disparities in SOM content and microbial community composition among a 12-year mature Fuding tea (FD) plantation, Longjing 43 tea (LJ) plantation, and virgin land (VL). Compared with VL, the soil respiration rate, temperature, moisture, and organic matter in LJ and FD plantations increased significantly, with LJ showing the highest SOM content. Bacterial diversity and richness were highest in LJ while fungal diversity and richness decreased. Tea plantation construction alters the SOM content and microbial diversity, with LJ showing the greatest increase in SOM. This study provides new insights for tea plantation management and bacterial fertilizer development.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Biochemistry publishes fully peer-reviewed original research and review papers on the effects of handling, storage, and processing on the biochemical aspects of food tissues, systems, and bioactive compounds in the diet.
Researchers in food science, food technology, biochemistry, and nutrition, particularly based in academia and industry, will find much of great use and interest in the journal. Coverage includes:
-Biochemistry of postharvest/postmortem and processing problems
-Enzyme chemistry and technology
-Membrane biology and chemistry
-Cell biology
-Biophysics
-Genetic expression
-Pharmacological properties of food ingredients with an emphasis on the content of bioactive ingredients in foods
Examples of topics covered in recently-published papers on two topics of current wide interest, nutraceuticals/functional foods and postharvest/postmortem, include the following:
-Bioactive compounds found in foods, such as chocolate and herbs, as they affect serum cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease
-The mechanism of the ripening process in fruit
-The biogenesis of flavor precursors in meat
-How biochemical changes in farm-raised fish are affecting processing and edible quality
