Mining and smelting activities have brought potentially serious heavy metal (loid) s pollution
to their surrounding locale. However, studies on microbial metabolic activities, community …

Amendment-assisted soilless revegetation is a promissing ecological restoration method of
mine tailings because of its eco-friendliness and low-cost. However, it is difficult to establish …

Soil around the gold tailing due to the smelting process of wastewater and solid waste can
lead to metal (loids) contamination, especially arsenic (As). Soil microorganisms have …

Large amounts of metal (loid) s in abandoned non-ferrous metal smelting site are released
to the surrounding environment, causing serious harm to the environment. A weighted …
