Long-term mercury contamination does not affect the microbial gene potential for C and N cycling in soils but enhances detoxification gene abundance

Soil microorganisms are key transformers of mercury (Hg), a toxic and widespread pollutant. It remains uncertain, however, how long-term exposure to Hg affects crucial microbial functions, such as litter decomposition and nitrogen cycling. Here, we used a metagenomic approach to investigate the stat...
