The soil-plant-human gut microbiome axis into perspective

Nature Communications
Microbiomes of soil, plants, and the animal gut are pivotal for key life processes such as nutrient cycling, stress resilience, and immunity. While studies have hinted at a shared microbial reservoir connecting these environments, compelling evidence of ...

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

The Ability of Vermicompost to Mitigate the Impacts of Salinity Stress on Soil Microbial Community: A Review [PDF]

Avicenna Journal of Environmental Health Engineering
Soil salinity is a major challenge in many developing countries, affecting soil fertility and crop productivity. Salinity directly affects the soil microbiome through osmotic pressure and ion toxicity, resulting in diminished microbial biomass and ...

Upcycling human excrement: the gut microbiome to soil microbiome axis

ISME Communications
Abstract Human excrement composting (HEC) is a sustainable strategy for human excrement (HE) management that recycles nutrients and mitigates health risks while reducing reliance on freshwater, fossil fuels, and fertilizers. A mixture of HE and bulking material was collected from 15 composting toilets and composted as 15 biological ...

Bacteremia in horses undergoing routine dental prophylaxis: Before, during, and after the procedure

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Transient bacteremia after dental procedures is well‐documented in the literature, but the prevalence and clinical significance in horses remains largely unexplored. Objectives To assess whether routine dental prophylaxis in clinically healthy horses is associated with detection of bacteria in blood, using culture and 16S rDNA ...

Potential for conflict between urban coyotes and people experiencing unsheltered homelessness

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Across North America, both unsheltered homelessness and human–coyote (Canis latrans) conflict are increasing, but the relationship between these phenomena has not been thoroughly explored. We synthesize literature‐based evidence with anecdotal observations that occurred during a 15‐year study of coyotes in Edmonton, Canada, to describe three likely ...

Prevalence of Multidrug‐Resistant Bacteria on Hospital Face Masks: A Surveillance Report

iLABMED, EarlyView.
Hospital masks can harbor Klebsiella michiganensis for at least 24 h after disposal. This enteric bacterium poses a risk to immunocompromised patients and highlights the need for improved mask decontamination protocols to prevent hospital‐associated infections.

The native soil microbiome mediates the synergistic effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and biochar on cadmium phytoremediation by willow

Industrial Crops and Products
While the potential of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and biochar to enhance phytoremediation of cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soils is well established, the mechanisms by which the native soil microbiome mediates their synergy remain unclear.
