Microbial community structure and functional diversity affected by soil depth, tidal levels, and stand ages in restored Sonneratia apetala mangroves
The artificial planting of Sonneratia apetala is commonly used for mangrove restoration, but the impacts of planting duration and tidal levels on soil microbial communities remain unclear. This study investigated soil microbial communities in unvegetated mudflats and S. apetala stands (12- and 18-year-old) at two tidal levels on Qi'ao Island, Zhuhai. Surface (0–10 cm) and bottom (40–60 cm) soils were analyzed via 16S rRNA gene sequencing and Biolog-ECO assays to assess microbial composition and functions. Results showed that microbial diversity in surface soils significantly increased with restoration duration, driven by elevated the soil total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), and microbial biomass carbon (MBC). TOC, TN, and MBC shaped microbial community changes in surface soils, while dissolved organic carbon (WSOC) and nitrate nitrogen (NO3−-N) influenced bottom soils. Firmicutes and Campylobacterota dominated subsoils, while Proteobacteria and Chloroflexi prevailed in surface soils. Functional predictions indicated methanol oxidation and chitinolysis were enriched in surface soils, whereas subsoils exhibited enhanced potential for nitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation. These findings reveal how planting ages and tidal gradients regulate soil microbial communities during mangrove restoration. These insights support sustainable S. apetala rehabilitation and improved mangrove rehabilitation strategies.
期刊介绍:
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science is an international multidisciplinary journal devoted to the analysis of saline water phenomena ranging from the outer edge of the continental shelf to the upper limits of the tidal zone. The journal provides a unique forum, unifying the multidisciplinary approaches to the study of the oceanography of estuaries, coastal zones, and continental shelf seas. It features original research papers, review papers and short communications treating such disciplines as zoology, botany, geology, sedimentology, physical oceanography.
