Bacterial Community Changes in Early-Stage Engineering Simulation of Red Mud/Phosphogypsum-Based Artificial Soil Vegetation Restoration.

ABSTRACT: Preparing red mud/phosphogypsum-based artificial soils for vegetation restoration is promising. However, how artificial soil develops during vegetation restoration is unclear, especially regarding the relationship between the bacterial community and the development of artificial soil. The bacterial community changes in the early-stage engineering simulation of red mud/phosphogypsum-based artificial soil vegetation restoration were analyzed for the first time in this paper. The results showed that the structure of the bacterial community was simple at the beginning, mainly consisting of Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidota, with total abundances of 74.5% and 89.3% in the two plots, respectively. The richness, diversity, and evenness of the bacterial communities all significantly inc
