Urban soils represent hotspots of metallic trace elements (MTEs) pollution. Despite the critical impact soil organisms on ecosystem services, there is limited understanding regarding effects MTE levels in urban these organisms. This particularly surprising considering that earthworms, key for ecosystems, are commonly used toxicity tests. research investigates pollution earthworm communities lawns within city Paris. In this study, we sampled a comprehensive array communities, totalling 965 individuals from 13 distinct species belonging to Lumbricus, Aporrectodea, Allolobophora and Octolasion genera. These were collected three different locations 18 parks. At sites, assessed concentrations eight metals metalloids (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, Ni, Pb Hg), along with selenium fundamental parameters, examine association between attributes. Median exceeded recommended statutory limit values by approximately 20 % (0.6 mg/kg Cd), 30 (36.8 Cu), 40 (122.0 Zn), up 90 Hg 99.7 mg.kg Pb). Nevertheless, exhibited considerable variability both parks, correlating variations community structures. Specifically, our results highlight Cu explain about 6 variation assemblage species. Our findings underscore importance enhance comprehension distribution environments its services provided lawns.

Background/Objectives: Petroleum contamination in soil exerts toxic effects on earthworms (Eisenia fetida) through non-polar narcotic mechanisms. However, the specific toxicities of individual petroleum components remain insufficiently understood. Methods: This study investigates four components—saturated hydrocarbons, aromatic resins, and asphaltenes—on artificially contaminated soil, utilizing a combination biochemical biomarker analysis metabolomics to uncover underlying molecular Results: The results revealed that hydrocarbons are most fraction, with EC50 concentrations significantly lower than those other fractions. All tested fractions triggered notable metabolic disturbances immune responses after 7 days exposure, as evidenced by significant changes metabolite abundance within critical pathways such arginine synthesis, a-linolenic acid metabolism, pentose phosphate pathway. According KEGG pathway analysis, saturated hydrocarbon induced marked glycerophospholipid proline metabolism pathways, contributing stabilization protein structure membrane integrity. Aromatic disrupted arachidonic pathway, leading increased myotube production enhanced defense TCA cycle riboflavin were altered during exposure colloidal affecting energy cellular respiration. asphaltene fraction impacted glycolysis, accelerating cycling meet stress-induced increases demands. Conclusions: accounted for highest level toxicity among petroleum-contaminated soils. contributions overall should not be ignored, each uniquely affects key biological functions. These findings emphasize importance monitoring perturbations caused non-target organisms earthworms. They also reveal specificity different
