The seasonal dynamics of the soil microbial growth and soil net respir ation rate were studied in the imminent Heptacodium miconioides community T he results indicate that the numbers of bacteria and actynomices of rhizosphere soil or that of bacteria ,fungi and actynomices of non rhizosphere soil as well as net respiration rate of soil maintain similar seasonal dynamics in which dis play mono peak curves and their biggest values occure in September but the bi ggest nu mber of fungi of rhizosphere soil is in October The microbial numbers of soil,e s pecially that of soil fungi ,are greatly affected by the water content and tempe rature of soil The net respiration rate of soil closely relate not only with t h e water content and temperature of soil,but also with the soil microbial numbers of non rhizosphere soil which are mostly responsible for the net respiration r ate of soil
