Abstract: he relationships of different soils and vegetations with the structure and diversity of soil microbial community were studied. Vegetation made soil microbial species more abundant, and microbial community diversity more higher. There were no obvious dominant populations in soil microbial community, and the interspecific competition was feeble. The methods of molecular biology in the studies of soil microbial community were also introduced in this paper.
