“…Sampling was performed at Xilin Gol (42°32 0 -46°41 0 N, 111°59 0 -120°E), Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. Xilin Gol has a continental monsoon climate, with a mean annual temperature of 2°C and a mean annual precipitation of 295 mm (Hao et al, 2019;Chen et al, 2020). The climate of this region is characterized by drought, strong winds and cold temperatures.…”

Root-associated microbiomes play significant roles in plant productivity, health and ecological services. However, our current understanding of the microbial assemblages in the rhizosphere and endosphere of herbage is still limited. To gain insights into these microbial assemblages, Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing was performed to investigate the characteristics of microbial communities of an herbage, Leymus chinensis. Hierarchical clustering analysis and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) results showed that microbial communities of the rhizosphere and endosphere samples were clearly distinguished. Rhizosphere soil communities showed a greater sensitivity than root endosphere communities using linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe). Rhizosphere and endosphere communities performed their respective functions in the soil as a cohesive collective, and Rhizobiales were observed to function as generalists. Redundancy analysis (RDA) and variance partitioning analysis (VPA) results revealed that the contribution of the interaction between soil physicochemical parameters and soil enzymes was greater than their individual contributions. In summary, this study is the first to elucidate the microbial diversity and community structure of L. chinensis and compare the diversity and composition between rhizospheric and endosphere microbiomes.

“…The success of amendments in soil reclamation can be evaluated mainly on two aspects: efficient increase in soil nutrients to support vegetation demand, and contribute to growth of soil microbial community (Chen, He, et al., 2020; Chen, Mo, et al., 2020; Zornoza et al., 2016). However, applications of various amendments lack systematic evaluations of their effectiveness in restoring mining ecosystems, limiting the selection of materials and amendments for soil reclamation and constraining critical improvements in soil quality and the growth of soil microbial biomass in mining areas.…”

“…Soil microbial communities (SMCs) have long been proposed as indicators of success for monitoring the spectrum of ecological restoration (Harris, 2003(Harris, , 2009 including plantation forests (Banning et al, 2011), post-mining areas, oil and gas activities (Zhang et al, 2020), invasive species management (Chen et al 2020) and soil stabilization (Rodríguez-Caballero et al 2012). As soil microbial functioning is the basis for all successful restoration and rehabilitation, SMC inventories have become the de facto metric for describing soil health during restoration events (e.g.…”

1. Global interest in building healthy soils combined with new DNA sequencing technologies has led to the generation of a vast amount of soil microbial community (SMC) data. 2. SMC analysis is being adopted widely for monitoring ecological restoration trajectories. However, despite the large and growing quantity of soil microbial data, it remains unclear how these data inform and best guide restoration practice. 3. Here, we examine assumptions around SMC as a tool for guiding ecosystem restoration and evaluate the effectiveness of using species inventories of SMC as a benchmark for restoration success. 4. We investigate other approaches of assessing soil health, and conclude that we can significantly enhance the utility of species inventory data for ecological restoration by complementing it with the use of non-molecular approaches.
