Abstract
Invasive plants have become an environmental issue of common global concern, posing a significant threat to environmental protection. As one of the invasive species, Flaveria bidentis (L.) Kuntze has seriously affected the ecological preservation of the invaded area. In recent years, most research on the invasion of F. bidentis to soil ecosystems has focused on soil nutrient content, bacterial and fungal community diversity. In comparison, the effect of the invasive plant on the Yellow River Delta (YRD) was still unknown. We obtained the soil microorganisms under F. bidentis invasion in the present study. At the phylum level, two groups including the rhizosphere soil bacteria samples of F. bidentis (HDJ) and the bulk soils samples of F. bidentis BSK groups were dominated with the Proteobacteria, Acidobacteriota, Gemmatimonadota, and Actinobacteriota. At the genus level, two groups were dominated with the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. 1418 bacterial OTUs and 1192 fungal OTUs were observed in two groups. The SourceTracker analysis found that the average 49.27% bacterial community of BKS groups was from HDJ groups, and a middle 62.2% fungal community of BKS groups was from HDJ. Compared with the bacteria, the F. bidentis invasion had a more significant effect on the fungal community of the invasive soil. In conclusion, our results provided new insight into monitoring biodiversity protection in the YRD
