Long-term coal gangue dump regulates bacterial communities in different disturbance areas: Evidence mostly from diversity and network complexity.

ABSTRACT: In order to clarify the effects of long-term coal gangue(CG) dump on the surrounding soil bacterial community structure, we selected the CG dump formed during the mining of Tunlan coal mine in Gujiao city, Shanxi province in China as the study area to conduct a comprehensive study, the experimental design included six distinct zones: control soil area with no impaction (NC), undisturbed control sediment area (NL), atmospheric dry and wet deposition area (MC), upstream (MLS), midstream (MLZ) and downstream (MLX) in the leachate flow area (LFA), Using high-throughput sequencing technology and related software analysis, we obtained the following key findings: The heavy metal contents of Cr and Cd were different significantly in MC and NC (p < 0.05),Cr (90.18 mg·kg-1) in MC was higher than tha
