Soil bacterial and fungal community structure of a rice monoculture and rice-pasture rotation systems

Rice monoculture has been the main rice-cropping system for several years. Rice-pasture rotation system has raised in recent years as an alternative, as this practice not only increases rice yield but also adds value through the use of implanted pastures, livestock production and diversification of the system. To evaluate the impact on soil microbial diversity, we used Illumina Mi-Seq sequencing technology and phylogenetic structure analysis to...
