Shifts of bacterial community structure and function in long-term soybean monoculture

Crop monoculture affects soil microbial community structure and diversity, but it is unclear which differences occur in microbial functions after the alteration of the bacterial community during crop monoculture. We investigated the diversity, functional groups and metabolic functions of bacteria under soybean rotation (RS), 2-year (SS) and 27-year (CS) soybean monoculture systems using high-throughput sequencing and functional prediction based...
