4. • Soil contamination is a worldwide problem
with serious associated environmental
impacts and health risks
• The widespread contamination of soils with
various pollutants creates toxicological risks
associated with their use in agriculture,
groundwater contamination and therefore
food, social and health security
• The need for “clean” soils is a prerequisite
for safe agricultural production
SOIL CONTAMINATION: BACKGROUND
5. THE ROLE OF SOIL MICROORGANISMS
Microorganisms
• Represent the most important and diverse group of organisms
• Play a central role in ecosystems functioning
• Soil bacteria play a central role in decomposing organic matter, in
determining the release of mineral nutrients, and in nutrient
cycling

6. A schematic of how disturbance can
change microbial composition and
thereby affect ecosystem processes
versus when disturbance would not
have this effect (when the microbial
community is resistant, resilient or
functional redundant)

7. SOIL CONTAMINATION AFFECTS SOIL
MICROBIAL DIVERSITY
Microorganisms in contaminated soil are
disrupted, leading to a decline in soil
biodiversity, aggregate stability and
decomposition processes

8. How to measure belowground biodiversity?
Does it matter if one species disappears? Can
other species replace its function?
MICROBIAL DIVERSITY: OPEN QUESTIONS
May microorganisms be used as
bioindicators in soil?

CULTURE-BASED METHODS
• species may be uncultivable
• some species require special conditions
• species in relatively low density
12. • Access to a much larger reservoir of
genomic and metabolic information
• Link community structure and diversity
to function

19. Cluster analysis of molecular data
• Cluster analysis revealed a separation between
communities recovered in autumn and in spring
• Within each season, the presence of bacterial
communities subgroups associated to different
land uses was observed
21. Conclusions
• Soil bacterial communities exhibited compositional shifts that tracked
with changes in land use and soil management
• Soils subjected to low human inputs showed a more stable bacterial
community than those with high human input
• Our study combining the pedological and biochemical data with
microbiological and molecular analysis furnish a good methodological
approach to describe the influence of different soil managements on
the soil microbial community structure
