Abstract

Metal mining generates a considerable amount of tailings. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have potential value for the ecological remediation of tailings from metal mining, despite problems with these tailings, such as loose structure, high heavy-metal concentration and low organic matter and microbial diversity. This review summarizes both the application and physiological functions of AMF, and plant symbiotic systems, in the ecological remediation of tailings from metal mining. The review also includes an in-depth analysis of the characteristics, structural composition, and potential functions of glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP), a release product of mycorrhizal fungi, in the ecological remediation of tailings from metal mining. This review is expected to provide a basis for the application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi remediation technology in the ecological remediation of tailings from metal mining.
