摘要： BackgroundIntercropping increases land use efficiency and farmland ecological diversity. However, little is understood about whether and how soil biota, metabolites, and nutrients change under interspecific competition among plants. Thus, this study aimed to explore the changes in the physicochemical properties, microbial communities, and metabolites of rhizosphere and bulk soils of pepper monocropping and pepper-maize intercropping systems.ResultsIntercropping significantly increased the contents of available phosphorus (AP) and available potassium (AK), and decreased the pH value, whereas it had little effect on the total nitrogen (TN) and organic matter (OM) in the rhizosphere and bulk soils, compared with those in monocropping pepper. Moreover, the OM content was higher in rhizosphere soil than in bulk soil. The microbial community structures and metabolite profiles also differed between the two systems. The diversity of bacteria and fungi increased in intercropped pepper. The relative abundances of Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Cyanobacteria, and Ascomycota were higher while those of Proteobacteria, Planctomycetes, Mucoromycota, and Basidiomycota were significantly lower in the rhizosphere and bulk soils from the intercropping system than in those from the monocropping system. Linear discriminant analysis revealed that the predominant bacteria and fungi in the rhizosphere soil from the intercropping system belonged to the order Sphingomonadales and genera Nitrospira, Phycicoccus and Auricularia, whereas those in the bulk soil from the intercropping system belonged to the phylum Acidobacteria and genera Calocera, Pseudogymnoascus, and Trichosporon. Intercropping promoted the secretion of flavonoids, alkaloids, and nucleotides and their derivatives in the rhizosphere soil and significantly increased the contents of organoheterocyclic compounds in the bulk soil. Furthermore, the AP and AK contents, and pH value had strong positive correlations with bacteria. In addition, co-occurrence network analysis also showed that asebogenin, trachelanthamidine, 5-methyldeoxycytidine, and soil pH were the key factors mediating root-soil-microbe interactions.ConclusionIntercropping can alter microbial community structures and soil metabolite composition in rhizosphere and bulk soils, enhancing soil nutrient contents, enriching soil beneficial microbes and secondary metabolites (flavonoids and alkaloids) of intercropped pepper, and provided a scientific basis for sustainable development in the pepper-maize intercropping system.
