Soil bacterial community dynamics was assessed in some of the most polluted estuaries by heavy metals of the world. The influence of seasons, heavy metal pollution, and Spartina maritima rhizosphere throughout an entire year were compared in Tinto, Odiel, and Piedras salt marshes from Huelva, Spain. The less contaminated estuary showed the highest bacterial biodiversity, especially in rhizosphere, which was deeply affected by seasonal changes. On the contrary, bacterial diversity in the most polluted salt marsh was lower and neither plant roots nor seasons had a marked effect on their annual dynamics. This work provided evidence that soil bacterial communities in south western Spain estuarine sediments were not completely related to the plant species they inhabit with, but to environmental conditions, prioritizing pollution levels. These results may be considered for conducting planned restoration strategies using native plant growth promoting rhizobacteria together with heavy metal hyperaccumulator S. maritima to preserve these endangered ecosystems.
