5 Conclusion
Long-term drainage and afforestation had a greater impact on the composition and diversity of soil bacterial communities in SF than in PB. Soil moisture content, available phosphorus content, and pH were key driving factors for changes in soil bacterial community composition and diversity. The restoration of soil bacterial community composition and diversity in moss peatlands affected by drainage and afforestation should not only focus on vegetation restoration, but also on the restoration of soil moisture conditions for SF and nutrient conditions for PB.
