vegetation planting on the succession of bacterial communities in a coral sand beach of a tropical island
Many coral islands in the Nansha Islands of China lack native vegetation. To build stable coral sand beaches, mangrove planting has been implemented as a restoration strategy. However, there is currently a lack of research on the evolution of soil biological community structure during the vegetation restoration process. In this study, high-throughput sequencing was used to track changes in bacterial communities in coral sand within the first year after mangrove establishment.
