ABSTRACT
In this study, a combination of indoor culture and high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze
changes in nutrients and fungal communities in black soil after the addition of biomass charcoal.
The following conclusions were drawn: 1) After six months of constant temperature, black soils
containing biomass carbon changed in physicochemical properties. For example, soil pH, organic
matter, water content, available phosphorus, and available potassium increased compared with CK
treatment (P<0.05). 2) It was observed from high-throughput sequencing that the fungal diversity of
black soil also changed. High-throughput sequencing detected five fungal phyla, including Ascomycota,
Basidiomycota, Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, and Aspergillus (Glomeromycota), in which Ascomycota
was the predominant group of fungi, which accounted for about 70.6% of the total number of
OTUs. The sequencing also detected 67 known genera, among which the dominant genus included
the genus Geomyces and sickle Fusarium, Chaetomium, Penicillium, Humicola. The analysis of fungal
diversity concluded that the abundance and diversity of fungi in the black soil after adding biomass
carbon increased. In the redundancy analysis (RDA), environmental factors had a great influence on
the abundance and community composition of fungi. Therefore, adding biomass carbon could not
only improve the soil nutrients but also were significant in maintaining the diversity of soil fungal
communities.
