摘要：
Mulching to conserve moisture has become an important agronomic practice in saline soil cultivation，and the effects of the dual stress of salinity and microplastics on soil microbes are receiving increasing attention. In order to investigate the effect of polyethylene microplastics on the microbial community of salinized soils，this study investigated the effects of different types（chloride and sulphate）and concentrations（weak，medium，and strong）of polyethylene（PE）microplastics（1% and 4% of the dry weight mass of the soil sample）on the soil microbial community by simulating microplastic contamination in salinized soil environments indoors. The results showed that：PE microplastics reduced the diversity and abundance of microbial communities in salinized soils and were more strongly affected by sulphate saline soil treatments. The relative abundance of each group of bacteria was more strongly changed in the sulphate saline soil treatment than in the chloride saline soil treatment. At the phylum level，the relative abundance of Proteobacteria was positively correlated with the abundance of fugitive PE microplastics，whereas the relative abundances of Bacteroidota，Actinobacteriota，and Acidobacteria were negatively correlated with the abundance of fugitive PE microplastics. At the family level，the relative abundances of Flavobacteriaceae，Alcanivoracaceae，Halomonadaceae，and Sphingomonasceae increased with increasing abundance of PE microplastics. The KEGG metabolic pathway prediction showed that the relative abundance of microbial metabolism and genetic information functions were reduced by the presence of PE microplastics，and the inhibition of metabolic functions was stronger in sulphate saline soils than in chloride saline soils，whereas the inhibition of genetic information functions was weaker than that in chloride saline soils. The secondary metabolic pathways of amino acid metabolism，carbohydrate metabolism，and energy metabolism were inhibited. It was hypothesized that the reduction in metabolic functions may have been caused by the reduced relative abundance of the above-mentioned secondary metabolic pathways. This study may provide a theoretical basis for the study of the effects of microplastics and salinization on the soil environment under the dual pollution conditions. © 2024 Science Press.
