  abstract = {{T}he hypothesis of the present study was that bacterial communities would differentiate under {E}ucalyptus camaldulensis and that an enhancement of arbuscular mycorrhizal ({AM}) density would minimize this exotic plant species effect. {T}reatments consisted of control plants, preplanting fertilizer application and {AM} inoculation. {A}fter 4 months of culture in autoclaved soil, {E}. camaldulensis seedlings were either harvested for growth measurement or transferred into containers filled with the same soil but not sterilized. {O}ther containers were kept without {E}. camaldulensis seedlings. {A}fter 12 months, effects of fertilizer amendment and {AM} inoculation were measured on the growth of {E}ucalyptus seedlings and on soil microbial communities. {T}he results clearly show that this plant species significantly modified the soil bacterial community. {B}oth community structure (assessed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis profiles) and function (assessed by substrate-induced respiration responses including soil catabolic evenness) were significantly affected. {S}uch changes in the bacterial structure and function were accompanied by disturbances in the composition of the herbaceous plant species layer. {T}hese results highlight the role of {AM} symbiosis in the processes involved in soil bio-functioning and plant coexistence and in afforestation programmes with exotic tree species that target preservation of native plant diversity.},
