摘要: 叶际微生物对宿主植物健康、适应性及生态系统稳定性具有重要作用,但目前针对温带荒漠灌木叶际微生物群落多样性特征及其驱动机制的研究仍较为匮乏。本研究以古尔班通古特沙漠三种典型荒漠灌木[淡枝沙拐枣(Calligonum leucocladum)、膜果麻黄(Ephedra przewalskii)和白梭梭(Haloxylon persicum)]为研究对象,基于16S rRNA高通量测序技术,结合PCoA分析、冗余分析和零模型构建等方法,系统解析了叶际细菌群落的多样性特征及确定性与随机性过程对其群落构建的相对贡献。结果表明:宿主植物身份和地理位置均显著影响叶际细菌群落的多样性和结构(P < 0.05),其中宿主身份的解释度(R2 = 0.766)显著高于地理位置(R2 = 0.046);植物功能性状对叶际细菌群落结构变异的独立贡献(9.39%–47.45%)远高于气候因素(0%–0.38%)和土壤特性(1.23%–6.21%);随机性过程(75.53%–95.24%)主导叶际细菌群落构建,生态漂变(60.01%– 91.43%)是其核心驱动力;共现网络分析显示不同荒漠灌木叶际细菌群落的网络结构紧密,并且存在显著的网络模块化特征。本研究揭示了干旱区荒漠灌木叶际细菌群落的多样性特征及构建机制,强调了宿主功能性状的关键作用,为全球气候变化背景下荒漠生态系统的适应性管理策略制定提供理论依据和实践指导。

Abstract

Aims: Phyllosphere microorganisms play a crucial role in host plant health, adaptability, and ecosystem stability. However, research on the diversity characteristics and driving mechanisms of phyllosphere microbial communities in temperate desert shrubs remains limited. 

Methods: This study focused on three typical desert shrubs in the Gurbantunggut Desert [Calligonum leucocladum, Ephedra przewalskii, and Haloxylon persicum]. Using 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing technology, combined with PCoA analysis, redundancy analysis, and null models, we systematically examined the diversity characteristics of phyllosphere bacterial communities and the relative contributions of deterministic and stochastic processes to their assembly. 

Results: The results showed that both host plant identity and geographic location significantly influenced the diversity and structure of phyllosphere bacterial communities (P < 0.05), with host identity explaining a substantially higher proportion of the variance ( = 0.766) compared to geographic location ( = 0.046). The independent contribution of plant functional traits to the variation in phyllosphere bacterial community structure (9.39%–47.45%) was far greater than that of climatic factors (0%–0.38%) and soil properties (1.23%–6.21%). Stochastic processes (75.53%–95.24%) dominated the assembly of phyllosphere bacterial communities, with ecological drift (60.01%–91.43%) being the core driving force. Co-occurrence network analysis revealed tightly connected network structures and significant modularity features in the phyllosphere bacterial communities of different desert shrubs. 

Conclusion: This study elucidates the diversity characteristics and assembly mechanisms of phyllosphere bacterial communities in arid desert shrubs, highlighting the key role of host functional traits, and provides theoretical foundations and practical guidance for adaptive management strategies of desert ecosystems under global climate change.
