Abstract Biodiversity is widely linked to human health, however, connections between health and soil biodiversity in urban environments remain poorly understood. Here, we stress that reductions elevate risks but can improve through pathways including suppressing pathogens, remediating soil, shaping a beneficial microbiome promoting immune fitness. We argue targeted enhancement of could support both outdoor indoor settings. The potential enhanced benefit reflects an important yet understudied...
Core Ideas Our discussion highlights the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in organic decomposition processes. Arbuscular can stimulate fresh residue initially and then tend to suppress old or decomposed soil carbon. We offer implication that would benefit carbon gain long term even under elevated atmospheric dioxide. (AMF) are widespread terrestrial ecosystems. In addition their contributions plant nutrient uptake, AMF also provide many ecological functions including regulation C...
Urban soils can, when not sealed, store a considerable amount of carbon (C) especially under cool climates. Soil C sequestration is controlled by plant functional type, but the mechanisms which types affect accumulation in urbanised settings poorly known. We selected 27 urban parks varying ages (young: 5–15, old: >70 years) and 10 reference forests (>80 southern Finland to study whether ability relates (i) decomposition rate different litter (recalcitrant vs. labile), and/or (ii) organic...
Abstract An increasingly urbanized world is one of the most prominent examples global environmental change. Across globe, urban parks are designed and managed in a similar way, resulting visually pleasing expansions lawn interspersed with individually planted trees varying appearances functional traits. These large greenspaces have capacity to provide various ecosystem services, including those associated soil physicochemical properties. Our aim was explore whether properties diverge...
Rapid urbanization in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to place two-thirds of its population concrete-dominated urban landscapes by 2050. While diverse architectural facades define unique appearance these systems. There remains a significant gap our understanding composition, assembly, and ecological potential microbial communities on building exteriors. Here, we examined bacterial protistan surfaces along an gradient (urban, suburban rural regions), investigating their spatial patterns...
This study investigated the effects of two environmental factors, temperature and light, on larval settlement metamorphosis in solitary ascidian Styela canopus. The results revealed that rates decreased with increasing range 12–30°C. We also demonstrated for first time pre-settlement larvae can occur as a function temperature. suggest this could be an adaptation to avoid greater energetic cost active swimming, presumably resulting from They are able metamorphose into passive drifting...
Rice paddy soil is a hotspot of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) due to the application organic fertilizers. However, temporal dynamics ARGs in rice and its flooded water during growing season remain underexplored. In this study, microcosm experiment was conducted explore ARG profiles long term (130 days) two-phase manure-amended soil-water system. By using high-throughput quantitative PCR array, total 23-98 34-85 were detected overlying water, respectively. Regression analysis exhibited...
Climate warming is expected to influence terrestrial biogeochemical cycles by modifying the quality and quantity of plant litter input soils. Although a growing number studies recognize importance in influencing loss soil organic matter (SOM) through phenomenon called priming effect (PE), exact mechanisms behind PE are not well known. Importantly, most research based on short term pot experiments which fresh (FOM) represented single addition compounds unnaturally simple chemical composition....
Abstract Purpose Although plant functional type can modulate soils and their processes in natural, nitrogen (N)-limited ecosystems, little is known about ability to influence soil N dynamics urban ecosystems that have high excess input. We investigated whether i) effects on parks follow the same pattern as those undisturbed natural/semi-natural forests, ii) park age influences under boreal climate. Methods selected 13 of varying ages (young: 10 15, old: > 70 years), 5 forests (> 80...
Insufficient environmental surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to public health, particularly in densely populated urban settings, where optimized infrastructure could yield critical data for monitoring and mitigating AMR proliferation.
Climate warming affects antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soil and the plant microbiome, including seed endophytes. Seeds act as vectors for ARG dissemination soil-plant system, but impact of elevated CO
