Microbial communities inhabiting the acid mine drainage (AMD) have been extensively studied. However, the microbial communities in the coal gangue that may generate the AMD and function as the seed bank of microbiota for AMD-related environments are still under-explored. In this study, we characterized the microbial communities within these under-explored extreme habitats and compared with those in the downstream AMD creek. In addition, the interplay between the microbiota and the environmental parameters was statistically investigated.

栖息于酸性矿山排水（acid mine drainage, AMD）中的微生物群落已得到广泛研究。然而，对于可能产生酸性矿山排水、且可作为AMD相关环境微生物群落种源库的煤矸石中的微生物群落，当前研究仍有待深入探索。本研究对这些尚未被充分挖掘的极端生境中的微生物群落进行了特征解析，并与下游AMD溪流中的微生物群落开展了对比分析。此外，本研究还针对微生物群落与环境参数之间的相互作用展开了统计学探究。
