Little is known about the responses of soil fungal communities to revegetation of mine wastelands, representing a major gap in the knowledge needed to improve the performances of revegetation schemes for mine wastelands. To shed some light on this matter, we reestablished 4000 m² of vegetation on an extremely acidic (pH 2.5) copper mine tailings pond and collected soil samples from three different types of habitats: amended layer of the reclaimed tailings (ALRT), unamended layer of the reclaimed tailings (ULRT), and unreclaimed tailings (UT). Soil fungal communities in the 120 samples collected in two consecutive years were characterized via high-throughput sequencing. The fungal diversities at ALRTand ULRT were found to be significantly higher than those at UT. Ascomycota whose relative abundance ranged from 74.5% to 98.4% was the most predominant phylum across all habitats, exhibiting the …
