Influence of revegetation on soil microbial community and its assembly process in the open-pit mining area of the Loess Plateau, China.

ABSTRACT: Vegetation recovery is an important marker of ecosystem health in the mining area. Clarifying the influence of vegetation recovery on the characteristics of soil microbial community and its assembly process can improve our understanding of the ecological resilience and self-maintaining mechanism in the open-pit mining area. For this purpose, we employed MiSeq high-throughput sequencing coupled with null model analysis to determine the composition, molecular ecological network characteristics, key bacterial and fungal clusters, and the assembly mechanism of the soil microbial communities in shrubs (BL), coniferous forest (CF), broad-leaved forests (BF), mixed forest (MF), and the control plot (CK, the poplar plantation nearby that had been continuously grown for over 30 a without dis
