摘要： Soil restoration is a crucial approach to improving plant productivity in orchards with soil degradation, yield reduction, and fruit quality declination in China. A self-invented root-zone ecological restoration practice (RERP) with soil conditioner, or organic fertilizer, was employed in a degraded peach orchard in Beijing in 2020 to investigate the consequent impacts on soil bacterial composition and functionality at soil depths of 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm. Bacterial diversity was sensitive to RERP, especially in subsurface soil. RERP with soil conditioner significantly increased bacterial diversity, and affected abundances of certain genera, such as a significantly increased amount of Bacillus in surface soil and Blastococcus, Microvirga, Nocardioides, and Sphingomonas in subsurface soil. It also significantly affected abundances of bacterial functions related to metabolism in subsurface soil, particularly those with low abundance such as decreased transcription abundance and increased amino acid metabolism abundance. Soil bacterial functions were observably affected by bacterial diversity and composition, particularly in the deep soil layer. RERP affected bacterial functionality via responses of soil bacteria and bacteria-mediated alterations to the changed soil property. Correlation analysis between soil properties, bacterial taxonomy, and bacterial functions revealed that RERP affected bacterial functionality by altering the soil microenvironment with ample nutrients and water supply in root zone. Consequently, shifted bacterial functionality could have a potential in orchard ecosystem services in view of fruit yield and quality. Taken together, RERP had notably positive impacts on soil bacterial diversity and functions, and a prospect of increased plant productivity in the degrade orchard ecosystem.
