Abstract

Global warming is an indisputable fact. However, the effect of warming on the rhizosphere bacterial community of crops is not well understood. Therefore, we carried out pot experiments with three rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties in black soil across three climatic regions of northeast China to simulate temperature change, and analyzed the response of the rhizosphere bacterial community to different temperatures. Results showed that climate had stronger effects on rhizosphere bacterial communities than rice variety. The rhizosphere bacterial diversity differed significantly among the three climatic regions and positively correlated with the mean daily average temperature (MAveT), mean daily maximum temperature (MMaxT), and mean daily minimum temperature (MMinT), and negatively correlated with the daily temperature range (DTR). Principal co-ordinate analysis revealed that bulk soil bacterial communities maintained a high similarity across the three climatic regions, while rhizosphere bacterial communities notably varied. This change was significantly correlated with MAveT, MMaxT, MMinT, and DTR. Compared with bulk soil, Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes were enriched in the rhizosphere, while Actinobacteria was depleted. Moreover, these changes were strengthened by increasing the temperature and decreasing DTR. Additionally, correlation analysis revealed that changes in rhizosphere bacterial communities were closely related to the formation of rice yields. Our study revealed that the increasing temperature indirectly reshapes the rhizosphere bacterial community that may promote rice production in areas with lower temperatures.
