Background

Rhizosphere microorganisms are a key factor on the growth and health of the host plant. Plant invasion, global warming and nitrogen (N) deposition have posed serious threats to native plants, but it is still unclear how these global factors influence the rhizosphere microorganisms of the native plants.

Methods

In the present research, we studied how Solidago canadensis invasion, rising temperature and N deposition separately and in pairs (invasion + rising temperature, invasion + N deposition) affect the rhizosphere bacterial community of a native plant Artemisia argyi in China through a controlled experiment in a greenhouse.

Results

Rising temperature and adding N separately reduced the rhizosphere bacterial richness of A. argyi (p < 0.05). The rhizosphere bacterial community structure of A. argyi was considerably altered by the invasion of S. canadensis at 50% degree compared to the non-invasion, irrespective of increasing temperature or N (p < 0.05). Moreover, the altered bacterial structure in A. argyi rhizosphere was strikingly similar to that in S. canadensis rhizosphere. S. canadensis might benefit from this alteration and relatively enhances its invasion because A. argyi needs to adapt to the new microbial community while S. canadensis does not.

Conclusion

This study demonstrated that S. canadensis invasion reshapes the bacterial community structures in the rhizospheres of the invaded plant referring to its own rhizosphere, which could probably facilitate its invasion.
