Summary

Researchers examined how different vegetable crops influence the composition of soil bacteria and fungi in karst landscapes of southwest China. They found that the type of vegetable grown significantly shaped the diversity and co-occurrence patterns of soil microbial communities. The findings provide a foundation for understanding how agricultural practices affect soil health in ecologically fragile karst environments.

The findings enhance our understanding of how cultivated soil bacteria and fungi respond to human disturbance, thereby providing a valuable theoretical basis for soil health in degraded karst areas of southwest China.
