ABSTRACT
The physicochemical properties, chemical fractions of six metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, and Mn), and microbial communities of soil around a typical sanitary landfill were analyzed. The results indicate that soils around the landfill were from neutral to weak alkalinity. The contents of organic matter (OM), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorous (TP), and activities of catalase, cellulase, and urease were significantly higher in landfill soils than those in background soils. Negative correlations were found between pH and metals. Cr was the dominant metal. Cu, Pb, Cr, and Mn were accumulated in the nearby farmland soils. Cd had the highest percentage of exchangeable fraction (33.7%-51.8%) in landfill and farmland soils, suggesting a high bioavailability to the soil environment affected by the landfill. Pb, Cr, and Mn existed mostly in oxidable fraction, and Cu and Zn were dominant in residual fraction. There was a low risk of soil metals around the landfill based on the RI values, while according to RAC classification, Cd had high to very high environmental risk. The MisSeq sequencing results showed that Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, and Acidobacteria were the dominant phyla of bacteria, and the most abundant phylum of fungi was Ascomycota. The NMDS analysis revealed that the landfill could influence soil fungal communities more intensely than bacterial communities. TN, cellulase, and bioavailable metals (Pb-Bio and Cr-Bio) were identified to have main influences on microbial communities. Pb-Bio was the most dominant driving factor for bacterial community structures. For fungi, Pb-Bio was significantly negatively related to Olpidiomycota and Cr-Bio had a significantly negative correlation with Ascomycota. It manifests that bioavailable metals play important roles in assessing environmental risks and microbial community structures of soil around landfill.
