Remember the role of bacteria is different from that of plants and animals. Main role of bacteria is to decompose corpse of those lives, so in order to decompose as quickly as possible, they don't need to diversify the kinds of their species, but they need a semi-single large quantity of bacteria. So in an area like the Amazon, single dominant species tend to flourish.
In an area like desert, the plants and animals are so adjusting to particular environment specifically, and their corpses are so hard to be decomposed under such severe circumstances. The kinds of bacteria tend to diversify according to the particular body they work, but the number of bacteria remains to be tremendously lower.
Rememer they are talking about the number of the kinds, not the entire quantity. Obviously the number of bacteria is by far exceeding in the Amazon than in desert. Whether it's relevant to talking about pH is questionable. I'm afraid that's a result, not a cause.--
