Microbial community diversities and taxa abundances in soils along a seven-year gradient of potato monoculture using high throughput pyrosequencing approach.
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have focused on linking soil community structure, diversity, or specific taxa to disturbances.Relatively little attention has been directed to crop monoculture soils, particularly potato monoculture.Information about microbial community changes over time between monoculture and non-monoculture treatments is lacking.Furt
