Résumé

Many non-ferrous metal mining and smelting activities have caused severe metal(loid) contamination in the local soil environment. The metabolic activity of soil microorganisms in four areas affected by different metallurgical activities (production vs. waste disposal) was characterized using a contamination gradient from the contaminated site to the surrounding soils. Results indicated that the soil microcalorimetric and enzyme activities were correlated with the fractionated metal(loid) properties (p < 0.05). All four areas had high total As, Cd, Pb, Sb, and Zn concentrations, of which mobile As, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sb, and Zn were higher in the contaminated sites than the surrounding sites, reflecting an elevated environmental risk. Three contaminated site areas had lower microbial activities than their surrounding sites suggesting that high metal(loid) concentrations inhibited soil microbial communities. Interestingly, the fourth area (tailing pond) showed an opposite trend (i.e., increased microbial activity in contaminated vs. surrounding areas). The microbial thermodynamic parameters of this contaminated site were higher than its surrounding sites, suggesting that the selected microbial communities can develop a functional resistance to metal(loid)s stress. This study provides a theoretical basis for ecological prevention and control of metal-polluted areas.
