This preprint examines how willow and pine growth alters the physicochemical and microbial environment of copper mine tailing soils. Vegetated sites showed reduced copper stress, more neutral pH, shifts in bacterial abundance and interaction …
This study applies genome-resolved metagenomics to microbial communities from a copper mining tailing in central Chile. By reconstructing metagenome-assembled genomes and analyzing metabolic pathways and selection signals, the work identifies …
