5 CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion, we herein found that winegrape planting can significantly
improve soil chemical properties and can thereby significantly alter
soil microbial community composition and diversity. SOC, TN, and
available potassium levels rose following DL reclamation. Relative to DL
soils, CS, M, C, and IR soils exhibited significantly altered soil
bacterial community diversity, with the greatest increase in such
diversity in C soil samples. Analyses of the relationships between soil
chemistry and the microbial communities therein revealed that pH, TN,
TK, and SOC were the primary determinants of microbial communities
associated with these different land use types. Overall, our data offer
a new perspective on approaches to the sustainable use of land resources
in desertified regions, with viticulture being one such sustainable land
reclamation practice. The development of local economic forests can
further reduce desertification and improve local incomes, thereby
simultaneously alleviating poverty and land degradation in China and
throughout the world.
