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.
