Discussion

Analysis reveals distinct soil microbial communities in topsoil and subsoil, suggesting unique responses to environmental conditions.

Soil bacterial and fungal communities differ significantly between topsoil and subsoil, influenced by soil properties.
Key genera identified include Rhizobium and Aspergillus in topsoil, while MB-A2-108 and Mortierella dominate subsoil.
Soil pH, electrical conductivity, and organic carbon are crucial drivers for microbial community composition shifts.
Findings highlight the need to understand how environmental changes, such as salinity, impact soil microbiomes.

Mdaini et al. (2025) studied this question.
