Coal mining practices reduce the microbial biomass, richness and diversity of soil

•Post-mined soils have low microbial diversity, biomass, and enzymatic activity.•Thiobacillus, Sphingomonas, and Novosphingobiumwere abundant in post-mined soils.•Bradyrhizobium was the most abundant genus in forest site and Bacillus in grassland.•Microbial diversity and abundance of studied post mi...
