Three local plants adapt to ecological restoration of abandoned lead-zinc mines through assembly of rhizosphere bacterial communities.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The plant restoration and ecological restoration of lead-zinc mines are very important.

Methods

In this study, we used three local plants to carry out ecological restoration of abandoned lead-zinc mining areas and detected the adaptive mechanisms of soil bacterial diversity and function during the ecological restoration of lead-zinc mines through 16S rRNA sequencing.

Results

The results revealed that lead-zinc mining significantly reduced the soil bacterial diversity, including the Shannon, Simpson, and observed species indices, whereas the planting of the three ecological restoration plants restored the soil microbial diversity to a certain extent, leading to increases in the Shannon index and Observed species indices. Mining activities significantly red
