Abstract:
      To investigate the differences in nutrient content, salt characteristics, and bacterial community composition in saline-alkali soils of different origins, and to analyze the intrinsic correlations among these factors. The findings aim to provide effective support for the management and remediation of saline-alkali lands. Soil samples were collected from eight distinct sites across three typical saline-alkali regions in Xinjiang, Jilin, and Hebei provinces. Soil nutrient contents and base ion concentrations were analyzed. High-throughput sequencing technology was employed to assess soil bacterial diversity and community composition.The saline-alkali soils from Jilin(JL1, JL2)were characterized by predominant base anions of HCO3- with concentrations exceeding 0.5 g·kg-1. These soils exhibited relatively high soil organic matter and total nitrogen contents, with Actinobacteria identified as the dominant microbial phylum. Xinjiang salinealkali soils(XJ1, XJ2, XJ3, XJ4)were dominated by SO42- base anions and exhibited high Na+ contents, lower microbial abundance and diversity, with Proteobacteria as the predominant phylum. In Hebei saline-alkali soils, HB1 showed HCO3- predominance(0.49 g·kg-1), while HB2 was dominated by Cl-(29.09 g·kg-1). Although significant variations in microbial community composition were observed, salt content did not significantly affect microbial abundance or diversity. The content of base ions, dominant microbial populations, and physicochemical properties of saline-alkali soils are closely linked to their origins. Microbial diversity mainly depends on the concentrations of Ca2+, Na+, and other ions, exhibiting distinct geographic distribution patterns. Thus, regional distribution and differences in physicochemical and biological properties must be thoroughly considered when developing saline-alkali land remediation strategies.
