| Résumé | (disponible en anglais seulement)
Understanding the structure of microbial communities in acidic, metal contaminated tailings and waste rock in cool, continental northern temperate climates is
important for identifying their potential for use in phytostabilization and bioremediation programs. In this study, microbial community compositions across two large mine waste sites in the Sudbury basin, Ontario Canada were analyzed along gradients
of barren-to-vegetated tailings and waste rock. Microbial communities were less diverse, more homogenous, and mainly chemolithoautotrophic in barren sites, transitioning to more diverse communities of organoheterotrophs, nitrogen-fixing/plant-growth
promoting bacteria, and ectomycorrhizal fungi in the vegetated areas. Co-occurrence analyses of microbial communities demonstrated higher levels of association among microbial groups in the barren tailings, which were related to the extreme
environmental and chemical conditions and restricted anabolic nutrient availability of the substrates. We also show that vegetation and plant-derived organic matter in the tailings are associated with the shifts observed in the structure of microbial
communities towards more soil-like communities. These changes in microbial communities can improve soil fertility through increased rates of heterotrophic decomposition of plant-derived organic matter, and sequentially further aid in the
establishment of vegetation. These findings will help develop phytostabilization approaches in mine tailings and waste rock in cool, continental northern temperate and boreal climates. |
