Effect of Metals Contamination on Soil Microbial Diversity, Enzymatic Activity, Organic Matter Decomposition and Nitrogen Mineralisation (A Review)

Abstract: Soil is home to remarkable diversity of life from microbes to moles and a well-established ecosystem among these different organisms exists. Microorganisms either independently or in association with other organisms are playing very important role in the plant nutrients recycling. Soil metal concentrations above certain limits disrupt this ecosystem and as a result plant nutrient cycling process. Metal contamination in soils cause proportions of some groups of microorganisms to increase than the others. Compar… Show more

“…In the present study, the Shannon and Simpson indices were increased to a certain extent by bentonite addition alone and in combination with organic amendments, with the significant increase (p < 0.05) following BMR1 and BMR2 treatment, relative to CK. On the basis of the sensitivity of community population, structure, and even diversity to heavy metals, soil microbial community are regarded as a valuable indicator for the remediation progresses of heavy metal contaminated soils (Khan, 2000). Studies…”
