Effect of phytoremediation in technogenic landscapes of mining areas on the functioning of actinomycete communities

Аннотация

It has been shown that conditions formed in technozems of tailing dumps covered with a layer of chernozem are optimal for the development of soil microflora, including actinomycetes, as follows from their high abundance. The use of Leymus sabulosus (Bieb.) Tzvel in biological remediation of technozems formed in tailing dumps ensures an increase not only in the abundance of microorganisms in edaphotopes but also in their ecological diversity, compared to technozems planted with Rhus hirta (L.) Sudw, as confirmed by 1.2- and 1.9-fold increase in the Margalef and Berger–Parker diversity indices. Therefore, applying a layer of chernozem on technozems of tailing dumps provides for more efficient remediation of technogenic soils.
