Resumen

Technogenic processes and agrodevelopment of the soil cover lead to significant transformations of soil chemical and biological properties. New methods of soil microbiology, including next-generation sequencing, allows us to investigate soil microbial composition in detail, including the taxonomy and ecological functions of soil bacteria. This study presents data on the taxonomic diversity of mature and anthropogenically disturbed soils in various ecosystems of Russia. Natural soils in the southern taiga (Leningrad region and Novgorod region), northern taiga (Komi republic), forest-tundra, and tundra (Nadym city and Salekhard city) were investigated using next-generation sequencing (16S rDNA amplicon sequencing). In each natural bioclimatic zone, anthropogenically disturbed quarry soils or agriculturally transformed soils were also investigated. It was found that Proteobacteria, Actinobateriota, Acidobateriota, Bacteroidota, Chroloflexi, Planctomycetota, Verrucomicrobiota and Firmicutes phyla were dominant in natural soils, with minor differences between agrosoils and mature soils. In the soils of quarries, there were revealed processes of declining diversity of microbiome communities and the replacement of them by bacterial communities, different from natural and agrogenic soils. Thus, the microbial community is the most sensitive indicator of anthropogenic soil amendments and can serve to assess the success of soil self-restoration after human intervention.
