Figure 3

Bacterial abundance (A) measured as the log of 16S rDNA copies g dry soil−1 in mesocosm soil samples and activity (B) measured as the log of 16S rRNA copies g dry soil−1 in mesocosm soil samples. Neither 16S rRNA genes or 16S rRNA were detected in the unamended tailings (TO). Treatment designations are TC, tailings + 15% compost (w/w); BG, tailings + 15% compost seeded with buffalo grass; and QB, tailings + 15% compost seeded with quailbush. Treatment means with different letters are significantly different (ANOVA, p < 0.05; Tukey-Kramer HSD test). The absence of letters indicates no significant difference between means for that treatment.
