- Intervention effect Silicon fertilization affected soil microbial community structure.
- Observation Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria dominated contaminated soils.
- Intervention effect Silicon fertilization reduced Actinobacteria abundance.
- Intervention effect Silicon fertilization altered microbial metabolic pathways associated with heavy metal resistance.
- Mechanism The authors infer that organic and mineral silicon fertilizers promote tobacco growth by relieving physiological stress and favoring a tolerant soil microbiome.
