Abstract

The influence of plant primary compounds on the activity of soil microbial communities under heavy metal stress was studied in a POT-CULTURE field experiment conducted in a green house. Amaranthus spinosus was cultivated in an agricultural soil previously amended in the laboratory with solutions of different trace elements in two separate treatment modes: singly and in combination. Culture-independent metabolism based indices such as the rate of carbon and nitrogen MINERALIZATION, MICROBIAL BIOMASS CARBON and soil BASAL RESPIRATION were monitored fortnightly over a period of six weeks. Result shows that plant detritus have significant modifying effect on soil microbe-metal interactions. Data on microbial and biochemical processes in the respective MESOCOSMS did not vary from control; not even in MESOCOSMS containing very high concentrations of copper, zinc and nickel. The soil MICROBIAL BIOMASS CARBON and the rate of carbon and nitrogen cycling were not impeded by the respective metal treatment while the respiration responses increased as a result of increase in metabolic activity of the soil microbes. The plant based SUBSTRATES enabled the soil microflora to resist high metal contamination because of its tendency to absorb large amounts of inorganic cations.
