Rehabilitation of mine soils by phytostabilization: Does soil inoculation with microbial consortia stimulate Agrostis growth and metal(loid) immobilization?

Résumé

Metal(loid) soil pollution resulting from mining activities is an important issue that has negative effects on the environment (soil acidification, lack of vegetation, groundwater pollution) and human health (cancer, chronic diseases). In the context of a phytostabilization process for the bioremediation of a mine soil highly contaminated by arsenic (As) and lead (Pb), a pot experiment was set up to study the effect of plant sowing and microbial inoculation on soil properties, metal(loid) (im)mobilization in soil and accumulation in plant, and plant growth. For this, mine soil was sown with endemic metallicolous Agrostis seeds and/or inoculated with endogenous microbial consortia previously selected for their As and Pb tolerance. Agrostis was able to develop on the contaminated mine soil and immobilized metal(loid)s through metal(loid) accumulation in the roots. Its growth was improved by microbial consortium inoculation. Moreover, microbial consortium inoculation increased soil organic content and electrical conductivity, and led to an increase in soil microbial activities (linked to C and P cycles); however, it also induced a metal(loid) mobilization. In conclusion, microbial consortium inoculation stimulated the growth of endemic Agrostis plants and thus ameliorated the phytostabilization of a former mine soil highly polluted by As and Pb. This study is thus a good example of the benefits of coupling several approaches such as phytostabilization and bioaugmentation for the bioremediation of former mine contaminated sites.
