Dynamics Relationship of Phyllosphere and Rhizosphere Bacterial Communities During the Development of Bothriochloa ischaemum in Copper Tailings.

ABSTRACT: Copper mining and the byproducts associated with the industry have led to serious pollution in the Loess Plateau of China. There is a potential in improving the ecological restoration efficiency of such degraded land through combining microbial and plant remediation approaches. However, the community structure and function of phyllosphere and rhizosphere microorganisms and their response to plant development in copper tailings dams are poorly understood. This study investigated the impact of the phyllosphere and rhizosphere microbial communities on Bothriochloa ischaemum during three distinct plant development stages: seedling, tiller, and mature. The relative species abundance and Shannon index of bacterial communities of the rhizosphere during the seedling and tiller stages were d
