Grazing represents the most extensive use of land worldwide. Yet its impacts on ecosystem services remain uncertain because pervasive interactions between grazing pressure, climate, soil properties, and biodiversity may occur but have never been addressed simultaneously. Using a standardized survey at 98 sites across six continents, we show that soil, are critical to explain delivery fundamental drylands Increasing pressure reduced service in warmer species-poor drylands, whereas positive...
Increasing the number of environmental stressors could decrease ecosystem functioning in soils. Yet this relationship has never been globally assessed outside laboratory experiments. Here, using two independent global standardized field surveys, and a range natural human factors, we test between exceeding different critical thresholds maintenance multiple services across biomes. Our analysis shows that, stressors, from medium levels (>50%), negatively significantly correlates with impacts on...
Abstract Soil contamination is one of the main threats to ecosystem health and sustainability. Yet little known about extent which soil contaminants differ between urban greenspaces natural ecosystems. Here we show that adjacent areas (i.e., natural/semi-natural ecosystems) shared similar levels multiple (metal(loid)s, pesticides, microplastics, antibiotic resistance genes) across globe. We reveal human influence explained many forms worldwide. Socio-economic factors were integral explaining...
The relationship between metallic micronutrients and soil microorganisms, thereby functioning, has been little explored. Here, we investigate the (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Mo Ni) abundance, diversity function of microbiomes. In a survey across 180 sites in China, covering wide range conditions structure microbiome are highly correlated with micronutrients, especially Fe, followed by Cu Zn. These results robust to controlling for pH, which is often reported as most important predictor microbiome. An...
Abstract One of cadmium’s major exposure routes to humans is through rice consumption. The concentrations cadmium in the global polished (white), market supply-chain were assessed 2270 samples, purchased from retailers across 32 countries, encompassing 6 continents. It was found on a basis that East Africa had lowest with median for both Malawi and Tanzania at 4.9 μg/kg, an order magnitude lower than highest country, China 69.3 μg/kg. Americas typically low cadmium, but Indian sub-continent...
