Structural and functional characteristics of soil microbial communities in response to different ecological risk levels of heavy metals

ObjectiveThe potential ecological risk index (RI) is the most commonly used method to assess heavy metals (HMs) contamination in soils. However, studies have focused on the response of soil microorganisms to different concentrations, whereas little is known about the responses of the microbial commu...
