What is Effects of biochar amendment on bacterial communities and their function predictions in a microplastic-contaminated Capsicum annuum L. soil about?

Microplastics (MPs) have been confirmed as a novel type of environmental pollutant. They have long-term existence in the soil environment and threaten the soil ecological environment system. Biochar soil amendment is capable of enhancing the water and nutrient holding capacity and improving the soil structure and quality of terrestrial ecosystems. However, the effect of biochar amendment on bacterial community in MPs-contaminated soil–plant system remain unclear, in particular the prediction of bacterial function of these systems. In this study, the effects of biochar amendment on the bacterial community structure of MPs-contaminated soil were investigated through different treatments at three pepper growth stages, and the bacterial function of MPs-contaminated soil was predicted. As indicated by the results of this study, biochar amendment led to the increased species evenness and richness of bacterial community in MPs-contaminated soil, the enhanced relative abundance of MPs-contaminated tolerant bacteria (e.g., Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes), as well as the improved relative abundance of Massilia, Lysobacter, and Terrimonas. Furthermore, soil t
