In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of soil type and field management on bacterial communities in paddy soils, taking into account the differences in soil physicochemical properties. We collected soil samples from 51 paddy fields in six prefectures in Japan. The paddy fields were managed under organic regimes (26 fields), natural-farming regimes (12 fields), or conventional regimes (13 fields). The paddy fields were classified into four soil types: andosol, gray lowland soil, gley soil, and gray upland soil...
