Dominant plant species shape soil bacterial community in semiarid sandy land of northern China

Plant species affect soil bacterial diversity and compositions. However, little is known about the role of dominant plant species in shaping the soil bacterial community during the restoration of sandy grasslands in Horqin Sandy Land, northern China. We established a mesocosm pots experiment to investigate short‐term responses of soil bacterial diversity and composition, and the related soil properties in degraded soils without vegetation (bare sand as the control, CK) to restoration with five plant species that dominate across restoration stages: Agriophyllum squarrosum (AS), Artemisia halodendron (AH), Setaria viridis (SV), Chenopodium acuminatum (CA), and Corispermum macrocarpum (CM). We used redundancy analysis (RDA) to analyze the association between soil bacterial composition and soil properties in different plant species. Our results indicated that soil bacterial diversity was significantly lower in vegetated soils independent of plant species than in the CK. Specifically, soil bacterial species richness and diversity were lower under the shrub AH and the herbaceous plants AS, SV, and CA, and soil bacterial abundance was lower under AH compared with the CK. A field investigation confirmed the same trends where soil bacteria diversity was lower under AS and AH than in bare sand. The high‐sequence annotation analysis showed that Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes were the most common phyla in sandy land irrespective of soil plant cover. The OTUs (operational taxonomic units) indicated that some bacterial species were specific to the host plants. Relative to bare sand (CK), soils with vegetative cover exhibited lower soil water content and temperature, and higher soil carbon and nitrogen contents. The RDA result indicated that, in addition to plant species, soil water and nitrogen contents were the most important factors shaping soil bacterial composition in semiarid sandy land. Our study from the pot and field investigations clearly demonstrated that planting dominant species in bare sand impacts bacterial diversity. In semiarid ecosystems, changes in the dominant plant species during vegetation restoration efforts can affect the soil bacterial diversity and composition through the direct effects of plants and the indirect effects of soil properties that are driven by plant species.     

Crayfish as geomorphic agents and ecosystem engineers: effect of a biomass gradient on baseflow and flood-induced transport of gravel and sand in experimental streams

SUMMARY 1. Using experimental streams, we studied the impact of the crayfish Orconectes limosus on (i) the transport of gravel and sand at baseflow; (ii) the sediment surface (bedform, particle consolidation, proportion of sand, algal and gravel cover); and (iii) the critical shear stress (τ_C) causing incipient gravel and sand motion during simulated floods. We examined (i) and (ii) in experimental outdoor flumes that replicated riffle‐pool sequences and (iii) in a larger laboratory flume, in which we exposed sediments retrieved from the outdoor flumes to a progressively increasing discharge. 2. Habitat changes induced by crayfish, such as bedform alterations in riffles (downstream displacement of riffle heads) and the increase of gravel on sand dunes in pools, had major impacts on the spatial and temporal patterns of the baseflow transport of gravel and sand. 3. In addition to their impact on bedform in riffles and on gravel cover in pools, crayfish prevented the physical consolidation of particles in riffles and reduced the algal cover and the proportion of sand in the surface layer in both riffles and pools. These crayfish impacts on sediment surface variables had complex, interacting effects on the mobilisation of gravel and sand during subsequent flood simulations. For sand, crayfish progressively decreased the τ_C (i.e. the sum of bedform drag and skin friction) by about 50% along the entire biomass gradient in pools, whereas the presence of crayfish abruptly decreased the τ_C by about 75% in riffles. For gravel, the discharge causing motion in riffles produced a shear stress (in terms of skin friction) on an even bedform that was about 75% lower in all flumes with crayfish compared with the flumes without crayfish. Crayfish had no impact on τ_C for gravel in pools. 4. Scaling‐up these experimental results to real streams suggests that crayfish could affect the patch dynamics of major sediment transport events and habitat suitability for other organisms that, at larger spatial scales, could increase the overall spatio‐temporal habitat diversity and thus the overall structural and functional biodiversity of lotic communities.

Riparian Forest Restoration Along Large Rivers: Initial Results from the Sacramento River Project

Restoration of riparian vegetation along large rivers is complicated by the patchiness of the habitat and by conflicts with the societal need to control flooding. The Sacramento River Project, led by The Nature Conservancy in northern California, is testing whether it is possible to restore native forest along a large river without removing flood control. We conducted a post-hoc analysis of monitoring data collected by the project on 1–4-year old plantings of 10 native trees and shrubs at five sites. Two questions of general interest were: Can one identify types of species or sites that are especially suitable for restoration in such riparian habitats? To what degree must sites be treated as mosaics of patches, with different types of patches that are suited to different species? Plant performance as measured by height was better in species of Salicaceae or in species planted as cuttings than in species of other families or in species planted as seedings or seeds. Three within-site factors, land form, soil depth to a buried layer of sand or gravel, and soil texture, affected the growth of several species, indicating that sites do need to be treated as patchy. However, there was little evidence that different species performed better on different types of patches. Instead, areas with deep or fine soils seemed to be favorable for a number of species. Results suggest that it is feasible to re-establish native trees and shrubs along large, regulated rivers, at least at certain sites for an initial period of several years with the aid of weed control and irrigation. Shallowly buried layers or lenses of gravel or sand are a hidden, fine-scale factor that can reduce plant growth on river terraces.     

Further properties of peanut clump virus and studies on its natural transmission

Purified preparations of particles of peanut clump virus (PCV) had A₂₆₀/A₂₈₀ values (corrected for light scattering) of 1.00. They contained rod-shaped particles with sedimentation coefficients of 183 S and 224 S, and a density in CsCl of 1.32 g/ml. PCV infected 36 species in 8 plant families. No serological relationship was detected between PCV and barley stripe mosaic, beet necrotic yellow vein, Nicotiana velutina mosaic and tobacco mosaic viruses. PCV was seed-borne for two generations in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) but was not seed-borne in great millet (Sorghum arundinaceum), Phaseolus mungo or Nicotiana benthamiana. Seedlings of groundnut, great millet and wheat (Triticum aestivum) became infected when grown in soil from groundnut fields with outbreaks of clump disease, and the infectivity of soil survived air-drying at 25°C for 3 months. Groundnut seedlings became infected when grown in sterilised soil contaminated with washed roots of naturally-infected S. arundinaceum but not in soil to which roots of naturally infected groundnut or shoots of infected groundnut were added, or in which mechanically inoculated groundnut seedlings were grown at the same time. The patchy distribution of PCV in a crop was related to the infectivity of the soil for groundnut and to the presence of Polymyxa graminis resting spores which could be detected in the roots of S. arundinaceum bait seedlings, but not in those of groundnut. The results indicate that PCV is transmitted by a vector that is resistant to air-drying and closely associated with S. arundinaceum roots. For these reasons P. graminis is thought to be the vector of PCV.
