| Popis: | As an important environmental protection measure, the Poplar Ecological Retreat (PER) project aims to restore the ecology of the Dongting Lake (DL, China’s second largest freshwater lake) wetland. And its ecological impact is yet to be revealed. This study selected soil bacterial community structure (BCS) as an indicator of ecological restoration to explore the ecological impact of PER project on DL wetland. Soil samples were collected from reed area (RA, where poplar had never been planted, as the end point of ecological restoration for comparison in this study), poplar planting area (PA), poplar retreat for 1-year area (PR1A) and poplar retreat for 2 years area (PR2A), then their soil properties and BCS were measured. The results showed that the PER project caused significant changes in soil properties, such as the soil organic matter (SOM) and moisture, and an increase in the diversity and richness index of soil BCS. The Shannon-wiener index of RA, PA, PR1A and PR2A were 3.3, 2.63, 2.75 and 2.87, respectively. The number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) changed similarly to the Shannon-wiener index. The Pearson correlation analysis and redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that the poplar retreat time, SOM and moisture content were the main factors leading to the increase of BCS diversity. All of these indicated that after the implementation of the PER project, the ecology of the lake area showed a trend of gradual recovery. |
