“…The dominant families, genera and species of the plant communities also differed among the slopes as well. Specifically, the shady slope was characterized by the dominance of Horsfieldia hainanensis Merr., Arenga pinnata (Wurmb) Merr., and Sterculia monosperma Ventenat, which are shade-tolerant rainforest species adapted to acidic and calcareous soils (J.-F. Liu et al, 2019a; Liu et al, 2019b). Hilltop species, on the other hand, prefers warmer, drier environmentsand are commonly found on open peaks and forest tops.…”

Background and Research aim: Slope orientations can have a significant impact on the establishment of soil bacterial communities by influencing microclimate, soil properties and hydrological processes such as temperature, water content, pH and soil nutrients. Moreover, soil organic matter in karst ecosystems is more sensitive to environmental changes due to its lower resistance to disturbance. Methods: In this study, we analysed the multiple effects on soil bacterial community structure in karst landscapes at different slope orientations. The chemical properties of the soil of the sunny slope, the shady slope and the hilltop are compared and soil microbial communities are analyzed by high throughput sequencing. Results: We found that soil chemical properties (Total Carbon, Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus, Total carbon/Total Nitrogen ratio, Total carbon/Total Phosphorus ratio, Total nitrogen/Total Phosphorus ratio) differed between different slope orientations, but pH didn’t differ significantly. In contrast, areas with high carbon to nitrogen ratios showed lower bacterial abundance. Conclusions: This study uncovered distinct soil chemical properties among soils with different slope orientations. At the bacterial and fungal levels, the sunny slope exhibits the properties of having more ASVs. Moreover, although the soil microbial communities exhibited similar structures across these slope orientations, there were substantial variations in species abundance and microbial characteristics. Notably, the abundance of thermophilic bacterial groups increases significantly with increasing altitude, while the bacterial communities with the highest abundance of tree species at low altitude tend to be mesophilic. This study reveals the differences in soil microbial community structure under the influence of different slope orientations, which has practical implications for the overall understanding of soil microbes in karst landscapes and the influence of slope orientation on soil microbial diversity. Implications for Conservation: This study aims to provide a reference and scientific basis for the conservation of karst microbial diversity.

“…Several studies have reported the existence of various phytochemicals from these species, most of which can be used for multiple purposes (Ananth et al, 2014; Li et al, 2020; Liu et al, 2019; Shikha, 2016; Yanti & Aldridge, 2018). In addition, the scientific test data of A. obtusifolia and A. micranta is not yet available, so further research will explore many health benefits and industrial use of the genus.…”

The genus Arenga belongs to the Arecaceae family, which has a significant economic value. Several species of this genus have a decent potential of becoming an industrial crop. In India, four species of the genus, namely Arenga pinnata, A. obtusifolia, A. micranta, and A. wightii have been reported. These species have not been cultivated on a commercial scale in most of the growing regions. People use this plant directly from the forest or those produced in their backyard, even though productivity is minimal. To date, several studies from throughout the world have reported numerous beneficial roles of such species. Proper use of such plants or their products has immense significance in the food, fiber, and pharmaceutical industry. These plants are also recognized as ecologically significant plants. In this article, we have presented an up‐to‐date review on the species of Arenga reported from India along with their potential utility as industrial crops. This review is motivated by the desire to produce many eco‐friendly resources from A. pinnata and other species of Arenga, which can contribute to an increase in the standard of living and economy of many nations, including India. Practical applications Arenga has a lot of potential as medicinal as well as industrial raw materials. Despite this, these plants are somehow underutilized and have not gained much attention in international trade. In this communication, we have presented some aspects of these plants by reviewing many research articles and conference proceedings. The utilization of these plants as traditional medicine serves an important part in basic health care for many people in developing nations. Gradual study and clinical trial of different formulations of these plants can explore novel drugs for some critical disorders. We also highlighted the industrial uses of these species. Biofuel and fiber obtained from A. pinnata have been appreciated by the researchers. This article points out some attributes of these plants that required further improvement. Botanists and phytochemists will appreciate the description of the medicinal properties of these plants and the biological data provided in the article.
