Spatio-temporal distribution of soil microbial communities and nutrient availability around a municipal solid waste landfill.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The landfills may have notable ecological impacts on the surrounding environment, yet little is known about the microbial community and nutrient conditions in surrounding soil.

Methods

Using high-throughput sequencing technology, we analyzed the spatio-temporal distribution of bacterial and fungal communities in soils surrounding a large-scale landfill. The component of landfill waste and twelve soil properties were detected, including four nutritional indices and eight heavy metal elements.

Results and discussion

Our results revealed landfill-specific enrichment of bacterial genera Pseudomonas (0.13-6.43%), Marmoricola (0.12-4.82%), Sphingomonas (0.64-5.24%), and Nocardioides (0.51-6.3%) and fungal genera Alternaria (0.
