Mining activities in metal mine areas cause serious environmental pollution, thereby imposing stresses to soil ecosystems. Investigating the ecological pattern underlying contaminated soil microbial diversity is essential to understand ecosystem responses to environment changes. Here we collected 624 soil samples from 49 representative metal mines across eastern China and analyzed their soil microbial diversity and biogeographic patterns by using 16 S rRNA gene amplicons. The results showed that deterministic factors dominated in regulating the microbial community in non-contaminated and contaminated soils. Soil pH played a key role in climatic influences on the heavy metal-contaminated soil microbial community. A core microbiome consisting of 25 taxa, which could be employed for the restoration of contaminated soils, was identified. Unlike the non-contaminated soil, stochastic processes were important in shaping the heavy metal-contaminated soil microbial community. The largest source of variations in the soil microbial community was land use type. This result suggests that varied specific ecological remediation strategy ought to be developed for differed land use types. These findings will enhance our understanding of the microbial responses to anthropogenically induced environmental changes and will further help to improve the practices of soil heavy metal contamination remediation. |
