However, very little is known about the impact of agriculture on the microbial communities in other regions of the world, most particularly on the African continent. In this study, we used MiSeq amplicon sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA genes and fungal ITS regions to characterise microbial communities in agricultural and natural grassland soils located in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa. Nine soil chemical parameters were also measured to evaluate the effects of edaphic factors on microbial community diversity. Bacterial and fungal communities were significantly richer and more diverse in natural grassland than in agricultural soils. Microbial taxonomic composition was also significantly different between the two habitat types. The phylum Acidobacteria was significantly more abundant in natural grassland than in agricultural soils, while Actinobacteria and the family Nectriaceae showed the opposite pattern. Soil pH and phosphorus significantly influenced bacterial communities, whereas phosphorus and calcium influenced fungal communities. These findings may be interpreted as a negative impact of land-use change on soil microbial diversity and composition. | Descripción: | 7 páginas, 3 figuras, 1 tabla. -- This article is available at http://www.sajs.co.za | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.17159/sajs.2018/20170288 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/212921 | DOI: | 10.17159/sajs.2018/20170288 | ISSN: | 0038-2353 | E-ISSN: | 1996-7489 |
