Effects of underground coal mining disturbance on bacterial community diversity and its assembly processes.

ABSTRACT: Vegetation restoration is an important indicator for evaluating the health of mining ecosystems. Soil microorganisms influence soil material cycling and play an important role in vegetation restoration. Clarifying the effects of mining on soil microbial communities has spleen benefits for vegetation restoration. In this study, we analyzed the effects of mine disturbance on soil bacterial communities by high-throughput sequencing and setting up sampling sites at different distances from the mine site. The results showed that the α-diversity of the bacterial community gradually increased and the β-diversity changed with increasing distance from the mine site. The changes in β-diversity were mainly from rare taxa. Distance increased the relative abundance of Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria, and
