摘要

无土植厂是尾矿复垦的有效途径，植物根际相互作用诱导尾矿发生物理、化学和生物转化，促进功能性土壤的形成。本研究通过120 d盆栽盆栽试验，研究无土栽培后钨尾矿的基本性状、营养成分、团聚体结构、重金属含量及微生物群落结构的变化。结果表明：无土栽培消耗了有限的养分（速效氮和速效磷），但改善了尾矿的基本性质（降低了pH和电导率，增加了有机质和速效钾）。植物生长后，尾砂颗粒聚集，大团聚体含量较对照组增加25 ~ 43%，植物处理尾砂平均重径为376 ~ 521 μm，平均为对照组的2.7倍。种植后，优势菌群由放线菌门向变形菌门转变。与对照组相比，变形菌门和蓝藻门的相对丰度分别从26%和0.1%提高到28%和2%。此外，无土种植有效降低了尾矿中Cd （0.7 ~ 4.6 mg/kg）、Pb （4.8 ~ 78.4 mg/kg）和W （7.0 ~ 95.7 mg/kg）的总含量，特别是激活了稳定的HMs组分，并促进了它们通过植物吸收从尾矿中去除。羊茅和甘蓝型油菜分别具有对尾矿的适应性和对HMs的吸收能力，被推荐为潜在的先锋植物。本研究系统阐述了钨尾矿的成土过程，探讨了高矿质尾矿的命运，为高矿质尾矿的生态修复提供了有效的方法。

The tungsten tailings remediation by soilless plant establishment: Varied aggregation structure, heavy metal mobilization, and microbial community structure

Soilless plant establishment is an effective approach for tailings reclamation, where plant rhizosphere interactions induce physical, chemical, and biological transformations in tailings, thus promoting functional soil formation. This study conducted a 120-day pot plant experiment and investigated the basic properties, nutrients, aggregate structure, heavy metals (HMs), and microbial community structure variation in tungsten tailings after soilless plant establishment. Results showed that soilless plant establishment depleted limited nutrients (available nitrogen and available phosphorus) but ameliorated the basic properties of tailings (reduced pH and electrical conductivity, increased organic matter, and available potassium). After plants growth, tailings particles were aggregated, the macroaggregates fraction increased to 25–43 % compared to the control group, and the mean weight diameter in plant-treated tailings ranged from 376 to 521 μm, which was an average of 2.7 times that of the control group. After planting, the dominant bacteria shifted from Actinobacteria to Proteobacteria. Compared with the control group, the relative abundance of Proteobacteria and Cyanobacteria increased from 26 % and 0.1 % to 28 % and 2 %, respectively. Furthermore, soilless plant establishment effectively reduced the total Cd (0.7–4.6 mg/kg), Pb (4.8–78.4 mg/kg), and W (7.0–95.7 mg/kg) content in tailings, particularly activating stable HMs fractions and facilitating their removal from tailings through plant uptake. Festuca elata and Brassica napus are recommended as potential pioneer plants attributed to adaptability in tailings and ability to uptake HMs, respectively. This study systematically elucidates the soil-formation process in tungsten tailings and discusses the fate of HMs, offering an effective method for ecological restoration of tailings with high HMs levels.

期刊介绍： Ecological engineering has been defined as the design of ecosystems for the mutual benefit of humans and nature. The journal is meant for ecologists who, because of their research interests or occupation, are involved in designing, monitoring, or restoring ecosystems, and can serve as a bridge between ecologists and engineers. Specific topics covered in the journal include: habitat reconstruction; ecotechnology; synthetic ecology; bioengineering; restoration ecology; ecology conservation; ecosystem rehabilitation; stream and river restoration; reclamation ecology; non-renewable resource conservation. Descriptions of specific applications of ecological engineering are acceptable only when situated within context of adding novelty to current research and emphasizing ecosystem restoration. We do not accept purely descriptive reports on ecosystem structures (such as vegetation surveys), purely physical assessment of materials that can be used for ecological restoration, small-model studies carried out in the laboratory or greenhouse with artificial (waste)water or crop studies, or case studies on conventional wastewater treatment and eutrophication that do not offer an ecosystem restoration approach within the paper.
