Abstract
Article investigates the repercussions of uranium contamination on soil bacterial communities. This study explores alterations in bacterial diversity, composition, and functionality induced by uranium exposure, shedding light on the ecological consequences of heavy metal pollution in soil ecosystems. Through a synthesis of experimental findings and ecological insights, the research elucidates the mechanisms underlying uranium's effects on soil bacteria and highlights potential implications for soil health, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem sustainability.
