Premise: The diversity-invasibility hypothesis suggests that native plant communities with high species diversity are more resistant to invasions by exotic species compared to those with fewer species. This resistance stems from more complete resource use and stronger biotic interactions in diverse communities, which limit opportunities for invaders to establish. However, this resistance could potentially be weakened by environmental stressors, including elevated tropospheric ozone.

Climate change is challenging agriculture and food security due to the limited adaptability of domesticated crops. While plant range shifts along latitudinal and altitudinal gradients are well-documented, their impacts on belowground microbial communities and plant adaptability remain poorly understood.

The Stress Gradient Hypothesis (SGH) predicts that interspecific interactions shift from competition under low stress to facilitation under high stress. Historically, this framework has been extensively studied in plants, but its application to microbial communities remains underexplored. Here, we review literature to examine bacterial interactions under heavy metal stress, using selenium (Se) stress as a model for heavy metal-induced environmental pressures.

The growing interest in prebiotic ingredients has led to the valorization of agri-food by-products, such as coffee silverskin, known for its richness in dietary fiber and health-promoting compounds. This study evaluated the impact of in vitro simulation of gastrointestinal digestion on the chemical composition (carbohydrates, caffeine, and chlorogenic acids) and prebiotic potential (probiotic growth, organic acid production, pH, and antioxidant activity) of milled coffee silverskin. The results show stability of polysaccharides during digestion, while caffeine and 5-caffeoylquinic acid were partially released into the bioaccessible fraction.

Soil salinization has emerged as a critical environmental challenge threatening the sustainable development of terrestrial ecosystems globally. While the detrimental effects of soil salinization on plant growth, soil nutrient dynamics, and microbial communities are well-documented, how salinity-driven shifts in microbial nutrient limitation and co-occurrence network complexity collectively regulate soil multifunctionality (SMF) remains poorly resolved, particularly in agroecosystems. We conducted a salinity gradient mesocosm experiment (1.
