Soil heavy metals and phytoremediation by Populus deltoides alter the structure and function of bacterial community in mine ecosystems

A field study on the composition, structure, and function of endophytic bacterial community of Robinia pseudoacacia at a composite heavy metals tailing.

As important decomposers and plant symbionts, soil fungal communities play a major role in remediating heavy-metal-polluted soils. However, the diversity and structures of fungal communities generally remain unclear in mining areas. This study aimed to assess the rhizospheric fungal-community composition of Masson pine (Pinus massoniana) in the lead-zinc mining area of Suxian District, Hunan Province, China. This experiment undertook the following three treatments: Masson pine inoculated with or not inoculated with Suillus luteus, and bulk soil without plants as a control. The results thereof showed that inoculation of ectomycorrhizal fungi could enlarge plants’ capability to absorb heavy metals and secrete soil enzymes. The richness and diversity of fungi in the rhizospheric soil were significantly higher than of those in the bulk soil (p < 0.05), but no significant difference was noted between the rhizospheric soils inoculated with and not inoculated with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi as the community structure changed. The rhizospheric fungi belonged to 6 phyla, 25 classes, 65 orders, 115 families, and 150 genera, and the dominant phyla were Chytridiomycota (50.49%), Ascomycota (38.54%), and Basidiomycota (9.02%). Through use of LEfSe and heatmapping, the relative abundances of Suillus, Paraglomus, Agaricus, and Tulasnella were found to be the highest in the soil with ECM fungus inoculation. RDA showed that the community structure nearly changed with ECM-fungus inoculation; this was significantly related to soil water content, the carbon–nitrogen ratio, bulk density, available potassium, and soil enzymes. Altogether, inoculation with ECM fungi may change the habitation environments of microorganisms and dominant fungi in soil, providing keystone screenings in heavy-metal-contaminated mining areas.

The Effects of Suillus luteus Inoculation on the Diversity of Fungal Communities and Their Structures in the Soil under Pinus massoniana Located in a Mining Area

Rhizosphere microorganisms and soil physicochemical properties play a vital role in the natural restoration of plant communities. However, the mechanism of action between rhizosphere microorganisms and soil factors interact during natural restoration in plant communities is still unknown. Therefore, more attention is needed in this area based on typical vegetation, which supports the restoration of the structure and function of wetland ecosystems. Carex spp. and Artemisia selengensis communities are typical renewal wetland plant communities at cutting slash of Populus deltoides. In the current study, plots containing Carex spp. and Artemisia spp. in the slash were investigated, and an area of P. deltoides plantation on a lake shore was sampled as a control to navigate the rhizosphere microorganisms and soil physicochemical properties of the restored wetland plant community. The results revealed that the richness and diversity indices of the fungal community in the Carex spp. community were higher than those in the A. selengensis and P. deltoides undergrowth communities. Ascomycota was the dominant phylum in the soil of Carex spp. community whereas Basidiomycota was the dominant phylum in the A. selengensis community. The richness and diversity indices of the rhizosphere bacterial community in the control were higher than those in communities of Carex spp. and A. Selengensis. Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria were the dominant phyla of the rhizosphere bacterial community in the control plot. Soil water content (WC), proportion of clay (CY), and nutrient content, as well as catalase activity (CAT) in the soil of Carex spp. community were the highest, whereas those in the control were the lowest. Conversely, the bulk density (BK) and proportion of gravel in the control plot were the highest. RDA found that the CY, organic matter (OM), ammonium nitrogen (AN) and nitrate nitrogen (NN) content in the soil were the key factors affecting the structure and composition of the rhizosphere microbial community.
