Soils underpin terrestrial ecosystem functions, but they face numerous anthropogenic pressures. Despite their crucial ecological role, we know little about how soils react to more than two environmental factors at a time. Here, show experimentally that increasing the number of simultaneous global change (up 10) caused directional changes in soil properties, processes, and microbial communities, though there was greater uncertainty predicting magnitude change. Our study provides blueprint for addressing multifactor with an efficient, broadly applicable experimental design studying impacts

Chlorine disinfection to drinking water plays an important role in preventing and controlling waterborne disease outbreaks globally. Nevertheless, little is known about why it enriches the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) bacteria after chlorination. Here, ARGs released from killed antibiotic-resistant (ARB), culturable chlorine-injured produced chlorination process as recipient, were investigated determine their contribution horizontal transfer of during treatment. We discovered Escherichia coli, Salmonella aberdeen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa Enterococcus faecalis showed diverse sodium hypochlorite, transferable RP4 could be sensitive donor consistently. Meanwhile, survival chlorine-tolerant injured with enhanced cell membrane permeabilisation a strong oxidative stress-response demonstrated that physiologically competent transferred by improved transformation frequency up 550 times compared corresponding untreated bacteria. Furthermore, quality factors involving chemical oxygen demand (CODMn), ammonium nitrogen metal ions (Ca2+ K+) significantly promote above into E. faecalis. Our findings promoted plasmids natural transformation, which resulted exchange across bacterial genera emergence new ARB, well opportunistic pathogen non-ARB ARB. Considering elements quite resistant degradation through disinfection, this situation poses potential risk public health.
