“…This result was supported by data on plant dry mass ( Table 1 ), where NewPlant exhibited more than 40% greater plant growth compared with RePlant . Xun et al [22] reported that soil urease activity increased during apple orchard maturation, and in our previous study on manure refinement of apple orchards, urease was the key indicator of soil health and highly correlative to tree growth, no matter whether the soil type was sandy [24] or loam [25]. Therefore, soil urease is an ideal indicator of apple orchard maturation and the lack of a significant increase in urease activity at the replant site may explain the decreased growth and late fruiting.…”

We used a next-generation, Illumina-based sequencing approach to characterize the bacterial community development of apple rhizosphere soil in a replant site (RePlant) and a new planting site (NewPlant) in Beijing. Dwarfing apple nurseries of ‘Fuji’/SH6/Pingyitiancha trees were planted in the spring of 2013. Before planting, soil from the apple rhizosphere of the replant site (ReSoil) and from the new planting site (NewSoil) was sampled for analysis on the Illumina MiSeq platform. In late September, the rhizosphere soil from both sites was resampled (RePlant and NewPlant). More than 16,000 valid reads were obtained for each replicate, and the community was composed of five dominant groups (Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Gemmatimonadetes and Actinobacteria). The bacterial diversity decreased after apple planting. Principal component analyses revealed that the rhizosphere samples were significantly different among treatments. Apple nursery planting showed a large impact on the soil bacterial community, and the community development was significantly different between the replanted and newly planted soils. Verrucomicrobia were less abundant in RePlant soil, while Pseudomonas and Lysobacter were increased in RePlant compared with ReSoil and NewPlant. Both RePlant and ReSoil showed relatively higher invertase and cellulase activities than NewPlant and NewSoil, but only NewPlant soil showed higher urease activity, and this soil also had the higher plant growth. Our experimental results suggest that planting apple nurseries has a significant impact on soil bacterial community development at both replant and new planting sites, and planting on new site resulted in significantly higher soil urease activity and a different bacterial community composition.

“…Our results showed more abundant microbial populations, effective organic matter decomposition and higher soil fertility in rotation systems compared with monoculture over a long time period, caused by the large input of organic amendments and crop residues . The differences between pineapple, papaya and rice rotations might be due to the improved soil structure, stabilized microclimate, greater rhizosphere microbial populations and higher root density generally found in banana-papaya rotation compared with banana-pineapple and banana-rice rotation (Qian et al, 2014).…”

“…16S rDNA was amplified with the following primers (Takara Bio, China): 5 0 -FAM-labeled 8f and 1492r [24]. PCR was performed as reported previously [23]. The PCR products were purified using an EZgeneTM Gel/PCR Extraction Kit (Biomega, USA) and the purified PCR products were digested with MspI and HhaI (Takara Bio, China), according to the manufacturer's protocol.…”
