Abstract:To clarify the soil nutrient and fungal community characteristics under different vegetation restoration types (artificial restoration and natural restoration), and to reveal the differences in soil fertility between artificial and natural restoration, the soil chemical indicators, enzyme activities, and fungal community diversity and composition of 9-year-old pure stands of Eucalyptus urophylla×E. grandis (EU), Erythrophleum fordii (EF), and abandoned natural restoration shrubland (SH) with basically the same initial site conditions in the Nanning Eucalyptus Field Station were measured. The effects of different vegetation restoration types on soil chemical indicators, enzyme activities, and fungal communities were analyzed, and the correlations between fungal communities and soil chemical properties and enzyme activities were explored. The results showed that compared with SH, the total nitrogen (TN), available nitrogen (AN), and organic matter (OM) contents of EU and EF significantly increased, while the available phosphorus (AP) content of EU and EF significantly decreased. In addition, compared with SH, the catalase (CAT) and urease (UE) activities of EU and EF significantly increased, while the acid phosphatase (ACP) activity significantly decreased. The relative abundances of Basidiomycota and Glomeromycota in EU and EF were significantly higher than those in SH. However, there were no significant differences in these soil indicators between EU and EF (except for Glomeromycota). In addition, the relative abundances of Basidiomycota and Glomeromycota were significantly positively correlated with TN, AN, CAT, and OM, while the relative abundance of Ascomycota was significantly positively correlated with AP and ACP. Considering the soil nutrients and fungal community characteristics comprehensively, artificial restoration is suitable for vegetation restoration in this study area, but the differences between planting pure stands of EU and EFare relatively small.
