AB  - Eukaryota, bacteria and archaea are the three domains of life. As the third 
      domain of life, archaea has been found not only in extreme environments such as 
      high-temperature, high-saline, and extremely acid habitats, but also in moderate 
      environments including ocean, lake and soil, which implies that archaea may 
      contribute greatly to various ecosystems. By targeting the 16S rRNA gene with 
      real-time PCR approaches, this paper studied the abundance of archaea, 
      crenarchaea and bacteria from two agricultural soil profiles and two long-term 
      fertilization stations Qiyang (QY) and Fengqiu (FQ). The 16S rRNA gene copy 
      number of crenarchaea was 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than that of archaea, and 
      the order of these three groups was crenarchaea < archaea < bacteria. The ratios 
      of both archaea and crenarchaea to bacteria increased with soil depth. The 
      abundance of archaea and crenarchaea had significantly different responses to 
      different fertilization treatments. In QY station, the copy numbers of archaeal 
      and bacterial 16S rRNA gene had significant positive correlations with soil pH (r 
      = 0.850, P < 0.01 and r = 0.676, P < 0.05, respectively); in FQ station, all the 
      16S rRNA gene copy numbers of archaea, crenarchaea and bacteria had no 
      significant correlations with soil pH, but significantly correlated with soil 
      organic matter (r = 0.783, P < 0.05; r = 0. 827, P < 0.05; r = 0.767, P < 0.05, 
      respectively). To understand the distribution of archaea and crenarchaea in 
      agricultural soil could provide important information to evaluate their 
      ecological functions in soil ecosystem and element cycling.
