Plant responses to multifactorial stress combination

New Phytologist, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 234(4), С. 1161 - 1167

Опубликована: Март 12, 2022

Summary Human activity is causing a global change in plant environment that includes significant increase the number and intensity of different stress factors. These include combinations multiple abiotic biotic stressors simultaneously or sequentially impact plants microbiomes, decrease growth, yield overall health. It was recently found with increasing complexity impacting plant, growth survival decline dramatically, even if level each individual stress, involved such ‘multifactorial combination’, low enough not to have effect. Here we highlight this new concept multifactorial combination discuss its importance for our efforts develop climate change‐resilient crops.

Understanding the combined effects of multiple stressors: A new perspective on a longstanding challenge

Wildlife populations and their habitats are exposed to an expanding diversity intensity of stressors caused by human activities, within the broader context natural processes increasing pressure from climate change. Estimating how these multiple affect individuals, populations, ecosystems is thus growing importance. However, combined effects often cannot be predicted reliably individual each stressor, we lack mechanistic understanding analytical tools predict joint outcomes. We review science present a conceptual framework that captures reconciles variety existing approaches for assessing effects. Specifically, show all lie along spectrum, reflecting assumptions about mechanisms regulate action single An emphasis on improves precision predictive power but could introduce bias if underlying incorrect. A purely empirical approach has less risk requires adequate data full range anticipated combinations stressor types magnitudes. illustrate this spectrum can formalised into specific methods, using example North Atlantic right whales feeding limited prey resources while simultaneously being affected entanglement in fishing gear. In practice, case-specific management needs availability will guide exploration interest selection suitable trade-off between bias. argue primary goal adaptive should identify most practical effective ways remove or reduce stressors, bringing adverse impacts below acceptable thresholds.

Multiple anthropogenic pressures eliminate the effects of soil microbial diversity on ecosystem functions in experimental microcosms

Nature Communications, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 13(1)

Abstract Biodiversity is crucial for the provision of ecosystem functions. However, ecosystems are now exposed to a rapidly growing number anthropogenic pressures, and it remains unknown whether biodiversity can still promote functions under multifaceted pressures. Here we investigated effects soil microbial diversity on properties when faced with an increasing simultaneous global change factors in experimental microcosms. Higher had positive effect no or few (i.e., 1–4) were applied, but this was eliminated by co-occurrence numerous factors. This attributable reduction fungal abundance relative ecological cluster coexisting bacterial taxa. Our study indicates that reducing pressures should be goal management, addition conservation.

Increasing the number of stressors reduces soil ecosystem services worldwide

Nature Climate Change, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 13(5), С. 478 - 483

Опубликована: Март 16, 2023

Increasing the number of environmental stressors could decrease ecosystem functioning in soils. Yet this relationship has never been globally assessed outside laboratory experiments. Here, using two independent global standardized field surveys, and a range natural human factors, we test between exceeding different critical thresholds maintenance multiple services across biomes. Our analysis shows that, stressors, from medium levels (>50%), negatively significantly correlates with impacts on services, that crossing high-level threshold (over 75% maximum observed levels), reduces soil biodiversity globally. The >75% was consistently seen as an important predictor therefore improving prediction functioning. findings highlight need to reduce dimensionality footprint ecosystems conserve function.

Plastics can be used more sustainably in agriculture

Communications Earth & Environment, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 4(1)

Опубликована: Сен. 25, 2023

Abstract Plastics have become an integral component in agricultural production as mulch films, nets, storage bins and many other applications, but their widespread use has led to the accumulation of large quantities soils. Rational reduction, collection, reuse, innovative recycling are key measures curb plastic pollution from agriculture. that cannot be collected after must biodegradable environmentally benign manner. Harmful additives replaced with safer alternatives reduce toxicity burdens included ongoing negotiations surrounding United Nations Treaty. Although full substitution plastics is currently not possible without increasing overall environmental footprint jeopardizing food security, smaller impacts should used endorsed within a clear socio-economic framework. Better monitoring reporting, technical innovation, education training, social economic incentives imperative promote more sustainable

Soil contamination in nearby natural areas mirrors that in urban greenspaces worldwide

Nature Communications, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 14(1)

Опубликована: Март 27, 2023

Abstract Soil contamination is one of the main threats to ecosystem health and sustainability. Yet little known about extent which soil contaminants differ between urban greenspaces natural ecosystems. Here we show that adjacent areas (i.e., natural/semi-natural ecosystems) shared similar levels multiple (metal(loid)s, pesticides, microplastics, antibiotic resistance genes) across globe. We reveal human influence explained many forms worldwide. Socio-economic factors were integral explaining occurrence further increased linked with changes in microbial traits including genes associated environmental stress resistance, nutrient cycling, pathogenesis. Taken together, our work demonstrates human-driven nearby mirrors globally, highlights have potential cause dire consequences for sustainability wellbeing.
