Research in China focuses on microbial communities and geochemical characteristics in the Xinjulong coal mine.

The study identifies distinct microbial communities and variations in richness and diversity across different zones.

Practical recommendations for sulfate reduction and pollution control are provided based on the findings.

Sediment samples reveal differences in pH, nutrient concentrations, and heavy metal contents, illustrating coal mining's ecological impact.

The research underscores the importance of understanding microbial communities for pollution control and remediation in underground coal mines.

Valuable insights are offered for environmental management in mining environments.
