    Abstract Bt transgenic white poplar has been commercially planted in China since 2002, and it showed obvious insect resistance in the field. However, the ecological risk of planting Bt transgenic poplar in a field contaminated with heavy metals has received little attention. The effects of Pb(II) and Zn(II) contamination on the adsorption, desorption and degradation of Bt toxin identical to Bt transgenic poplar in black soil were studied. The results showed that the adsorption of Bt toxin was enhanced and the desorption of Bt toxin was inhibited in black soil by Pb(II) and Zn(II) at concentrations between 0 and 1 mmol/L, and the effect of Pb(II) on Bt toxin was greater than that of Zn(II). In the presence of heavy metal ions, the Cry1Ac toxin molecules are oriented with domain I toward soil particles through the metal ion bridge. The promoting mechanism of Bt toxin adsorption by heavy metal ions in black soil is mainly attributed to cation-controlled electrostatic attraction (CCEA), which is different from patch-controlled electrostatic attraction (PCEA). With the increase in soil concentration from 1 to 4 mg/mL, the adsorption amount of Bt toxin showed a downward trend, and both Pb(II) and Zn(II) had the maximal promotion effect when the soil concentration was 2 mg/mL. The promoting effect of Zn(II) on the adsorption of Bt toxin increased with the increased temperature (5-45 °C), but the promoting effect of Pb(II) was maximal at 25 °C. Both Pb(II) and Zn(II) affected the degradation characteristics of Bt toxin in black soil. For the lead-contaminated black soil, the residual amount of Bt toxin increased in the early stage but decreased in the later stage compared to the control soil. For the zinc-contaminated black soil, the residual amount of Bt toxin decreased compared to the control soil except between the second and tenth days. In this study, it was observed that Bt toxin was degraded rapidly in the early stage, followed by a large amount of released Bt toxin and slow degradation in the middle and late stages.

    Abstract The role of dispersal in the assembly of microbial communities remains contentious. This study tested the importance of dispersal limitation for the structuring of local soil bacterial communities using an experimental approach of propagule addition. Microbes extracted from soil pooled from samples collected at 20 localities across ~ 400 km in a temperate steppe were added to microcosms of local soils at three sites; the microcosms were then incubated in situ for 3 months. We then assessed the composition and diversity of bacterial taxa in the soils using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The addition of the regional microbial pool did not cause significant changes in the overall composition or diversity of the total bacterial community, although a very small number of individual taxa may have been affected by the addition treatment. Our results suggest a negligible role of dispersal limitation in structuring soil bacterial communities in our study area.

    Abstract The neutral theory of biodiversity has emerged as a major null hypothesis in community ecology. The neutral theory may sufficiently well explain the structuring of microbial communities as the extremely high microbial diversity has led to an expectation of high ecological equivalence among species. To address this possibility, we worked with microcosms of two soils; the microcosms were either exposed, or not, to a dilution disturbance which reduces community sizes and removes some very rare species. After incubation for recovery, changes in bacterial species composition in microcosms compared with the source soils were assessed by pyrosequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA genes. Our assays could detect species with a proportional abundance ≥ 0.0001 in each community, and changes in the abundances of these species should have occurred during the recovery growth, but not be caused by the disturbance per se. The undisturbed microcosms showed slight changes in bacterial species diversity and composition, with a small number of initially low-abundance species going extinct. In microcosms recovering from the disturbance, however, species diversity decreased dramatically (by > 50%); and in most cases there was not a positive relationship between species initial abundance and their chance of persistence. Furthermore, a positive relationship between species richness and community biomass was observed in microcosms of one soil, but not in those of the other soil. The results are not consistent with a neutral hypothesis that predicts a positive abundance-persistence relationship and a null effect of diversity on ecosystem functioning. Adaptation mechanisms, in particular those associated with species interactions including facilitation and predation, may provide better explanations.

    Abstract Decline in soil biodiversity associated with anthropogenic activities has raised concerns about the consequences for ecosystem functions. It remains uncertain how important soil microbial diversity is relative to abiotic factors, and how they interact, in driving ecosystem processes. Here we present results of a soil microcosm experiment in which microbial diversity and moisture conditions were independently manipulated. Loss of microbial diversity led to higher rates of soil microbial respiration, and the diversity effect was maintained over time during the course of the experiment. Higher moisture also enhanced soil respiration; but the moisture effect reduced over time, more rapidly in microcosms of higher microbial diversity. Overall, loss of microbial diversity enhanced soil respiration to a greater extent than moisture elevation, and also exacerbated the response of soil respiration to water addition. Loss of negative species interactions in microcosms of lower microbial diversity might be the major reason for the diversity effects observed in this study. Our results suggest that the integrity of soil microbial communities be crucial for the maintenance of soil carbon storage function.
