Mercury contamination alters soil microbial communities and functional traits in farmland soils of a mining region, south-western China
These findings provide a mechanistic understanding of microbial resilience in Hg-contaminated ecosystems and identify critical leverage points for remediation strategies targeting both metal toxicity and the functional restoration of agricultural soils.
