High-throughput sequencing technology reveals that continuous cropping of American ginseng results in changes in the microbial community in arable soil

摘要

BackgroundAmerican ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) is renowned worldwide for its eutherapeutic effects. The replantation of American ginseng usually fails due to problems associated with continuous cropping. An imbalance in the microbial community is thought to be responsible for this, but the overall changes in microbial communities under a continuous cropping system are unclear.
