Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2024

Global environmental concerns are exacerbated by pollutants, spanning heavy metals to organic compounds, posing threats ecosystems and human health. Conventional pollution monitoring techniques often entail resource-intensive processes. Epiphytic plants, exemplified lichens, mosses, ferns, emerge as sustainable biomonitoring tools for evaluating pollutants. This vegetation possesses unique attributes conducive air quality deposition. chapter investigates the aptness of epiphytic plants instruments Mechanisms underpinning pollutant accumulation response in epiphytes, focusing on their capacity capture atmospheric deposited contaminants over time, examined. Furthermore, benefits employing including widespread distribution, sampling ease, cost efficiency contrast traditional methods, emphasised. Recent advancements analytical techniques, encompassing elemental molecular analysis, enabling precise quantification concentrations tissues, discussed. Case studies from diverse global explored, illustrating utility presence trends, metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrogen compounds. The role indicators long-term shifts potential mitigation strategies addressed. Challenges limitations, species-specific responses standardised protocols, also considered. provide a effective avenue biomonitoring, contributing significantly ongoing endeavours assess mitigate pollution's impact well-being. book underscores imperative integration into programs. It encourages further research refine applications dynamic world multifaceted challenges.

Given their ecological importance, bioindicators are used for the assessment of health river ecosystems. This study explored fungal compositions and potential taxa as indicating water quality Mekong River, use indicators River was not previously well characterized. The exhibited dynamic variations in both physicochemical/hydrochemical properties communities according to seasons locations. results revealed dominance alkaline earth metal ions weak acids water. magnesium-bicarbonate type found dry season, but became chloride-calcium or mixed rainy season at downstream sites. Fungal composition analysis Chytridiomycota intermediate periods, Ascomycota Basidiomycota season. were influenced by stochastic deterministic assembly processes, mainly homogenous selection, heterogeneous dispersal limitation. extent environmental filtering implied that some affected conditions, suggesting possibility identifying certain suitable being quality. Subsequently, RFE with Random Forest SVM model identified specific bins mostly consisting Agaricomycetes (mainly Polyporales, Agaricales, Auriculariales), Rozellomycota could predict ambient irrigation high selectivity sensitivity. These thus promote assess river.

Organic fertilizers, such as spent mushroom substrate (SMS), improve soil fertility, but studies comparing their effects on different agricultural soils are limited. In this study, the of standard, SMS and composed fertilizers from conventional-integrated, organic biodynamic farming were investigated. Soil samples analyzed for microorganisms activity β-glucosidase (β-GLU), β-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG), urease (URE), arylamidase (ARN), phosphatase (PHOS), acid (PAC), alkaline (PAH) arylsulphatase (ARS). Biodynamic showed highest microbial counts enzyme activities, followed by conventional soils. significantly increased number especially in Seasonal variations affected all most enzymes soils, except NAG stable throughout year, indicating greater stability. This study concludes that activities respond differently to fertilization depending type, with demonstrating beneficial tested

Fungi play pivotal roles in ecosystems by forming diverse associations with other organisms, including plants, animals and microorganisms, along certain bacteria. These interactions range from mutualistic relationships, such as mycorrhizal facilitating nutrient uptake to parasitic causing disease the hosts. also engage commensal where one organism benefits without harming or significantly benefiting other. The ecological importance of these is profound, influencing cycling, biodiversity, ecosystem stability. For instance, lichens, composed fungi algae cyanobacteria, are pioneer species harsh environments contribute soil formation. Understanding dynamics fungal organisms crucial for management conservation efforts. Moreover, exploring molecular mechanisms underlying can offer insights into biotechnological applications, agriculture medicine, harnessing potential sustainable solutions various fields.

Microorganisms have a profound impact on the stability and ecological health of aquatic environments. Fungi, as important components river ecosystems, play critical roles decomposers symbionts. A comprehensive understanding mechanisms underlying fungal community assembly is essential for effective conservation management ecosystems. However, distribution patterns process communities along elevation gradients in sediments remain poorly understood. In this study, ITS amplicon sequencing, neutral model, null model were employed to analyze processes altitudinal gradient Yellow River. The results indicated that Ascomycota (47.79%) Basidiomycota (15.68%) identified dominant phyla sediments, collectively accounting 63.47% total relative abundance community. three different gradients, diversity (Shannon) showed gradually decreasing trend with increasing altitude. co-line networks exhibited positive interactions had more complex compact Tibetan Plateau area (YRA). Environmental factors played an role shaping structure communities, lead (Pb), nitrogen (TN), silt, organic carbon (TOC) being main driving changes structure, contributing 15.5%, 12.3%, 10.7%, 10.2%, respectively. process, deterministic found dominate, homogenizing selection most (69.66%). These research help us understand assembly, also provide scientific basis biodiversity rational use biological resources.
