The complexity of environmental conditions encountered by plants in the field, or nature, is gradually increasing due to anthropogenic activities that promote global warming, climate change, and increased levels pollutants. While past it seemed sufficient study how acclimate one even two different stresses affecting them simultaneously, complex developing on our planet necessitate a new approach studying stress plants: Acclimation multiple occurring concurrently consecutively (termed, multifactorial combination [MFSC]). In an initial plant response MFSC, conducted with Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings subjected MFSC six abiotic stresses, was found increase number simultaneously impacting plant, growth survival declined, if effects each involved such minimal insignificant. three recent studies, crop plants, have similar commercial rice cultivar, maize hybrid, tomato, soybean, causing significant reductions growth, biomass, physiological parameters, and/or yield traits. As are worsening, as well becoming more complex, addressing its agriculture ecosystems worldwide becomes high priority. this review, we address crops, agriculture, worldwide, highlight potential avenues enhance resilience crops MFSC.

Smaller microorganisms outcompete larger ones in resistance and functional effects under disturbed agricultural ecosystems

Body size is a key ecological trait of soil microorganisms related to their adaptation environmental changes. In this study, we reveal that the smaller show stronger community resistance than larger organisms in both maize and rice soil. Compared with organisms, have higher diversity broader niche breadth deploy survival strategies, because which they are less affected by selection thus survive complex various kinds environments. addition, strong correlation between ecosystem functions reflects greater metabolic flexibility illustrates significant roles continuously changing This research highlights importance body maintaining stability microbiome forecasting agroecosystem dynamics under disturbances. Natural man-made climate changes, such as warming excessive use fertilizers, seriously threaten services agricultural ecosystems [1, 2]. The biotic communities has been proven be great for multifunctionality [3]. Recent studies revealed can species' life-history traits [4]. However, still lack comprehensive understanding how species traits, size, influence among distinct groups ongoing determinant reproductive capacity survival, directly organism's changes [5, 6]. Since highly flexible metabolism [6], hypothesize microorganisms, underlying mechanisms phenomenon may result composite effect many factors. Current microbial ecology generally reports high more desirable scenario [7]. Thus, it tempting speculate species-rich maintain against disturbances effectively. Furthermore, tolerance range defines an niche, reflecting community's sensibility through scope resources living conditions [8]. Microorganisms narrow certain conditions, whereas other taxa tolerate ubiquitous probability stable abundance [9]. Meanwhile, diverse sizes assembly processes (deterministic stochastic process) due differences adaptability. Larger tend encounter stringent growth while able withstand filtering [10]. Given on critical biogeochemical (e.g., nutrient cycling) [11], mechanistic relations differentially sized essential accurate predictions future stability.

This study employed high-throughput sequencing in conjunction with physicochemical analysis to assess effects community characteristics Chinese fir plantations, aiming elucidate influence regulation services. Our results suggested that changes microenvironmental conditions were key drivers diversity. Total carbon (TC), soluble nitrogen (SN), light fraction organic matter decreased density, while total potassium (TK) available phosphorus (AP) concentrations increased. The plot a 900 trees ha−1 exhibited highest bacterial diversity, contrast 1500 ha−1, which showed lowest. dominant taxa similar across different retention densities, Acidobacteria, Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi being predominant phyla Ascomycota Basidiomycota main fungal groups.

Frontiers in Microbiology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15

Published: Jan. 9, 2025

The northwest Arabian Gulf encounters significant anthropogenic pressures, including nutrient enrichment from coastal development and effluent discharge. This study presents the first shotgun metagenomics-based characterization of microbial communities in Kuwaiti waters Gulf, focusing on Kuwait's Marine Protected Area (MPA) Sulaibikhat Bay, a vital nursery ground for commercially important fish. Analysis revealed significantly higher diversity within MPA compared to adjacent waters, with Rhodobacteraceae (27.8%) Flavobacteriaceae (15.3%) being dominant. Elevated inorganic phosphorus, nitrogen, salinity were key factors driving this diversity. Multivariate analysis highlighted phosphate as critical component affecting community structure, particularly families Microbacteriaceae, Flavobacteriaceae, Rhodobacteraceae. underscores ecological importance MPAs highlights impact other environmental stressors diversity, emphasizing need reduce influx mitigate eutrophication enhance marine ecosystem resilience stressed environments.
