Manure Refinement Affects Apple Rhizosphere Bacterial Community Structure: A Study in Sandy Soil

We used DNA-based pyrosequencing to characterize the bacterial community structure of the sandy soil of an apple orchard with different manure ratios. Five manure percentages (5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%) were examined. More than 10,000 valid reads were obtained for each replicate. The communities wer...
