Genetic diversity of fungi and bacteria in soils affected by mining operations in the locality of Loma Larga Azuay, Ecuador.
The Loma Larga project is located in the western Cordillera of the Andes, in the province of Azuay, 480 km south of Quito. The property consists of three mining concessions (Cerro Casco, Rio Falso, and Cristal) that cover an area of 8,000 ha. However, being located in a strategic place from an ecological point of view, it is important to know the impacts of this activity on the bacterial and fungal soil communities.
