The species of include many notorious plant pathogens and are widely distributed around the world. Leaf blight caused by species is considered one of the most prominent diseases in plantations in China. Some species isolated from soils in plantations are highly pathogenic to inoculated genotypes. In southern China, the plantation trees , spp., and are always adjacently planted, especially in FuJian, GuangDong, GuangXi, and YunNan Provinces. The aim of this study was to understand the diversity and distribution of in soils from plantations of different tree species in different geographic regions. Soil samples were collected from 12 sampling sites in × . , . , and . plantations in FuJian, GuangDong, GuangXi, and YunNan Provinces. Approximately 250 soil samples were collected from each sampling site, and a total of 2991 soil samples were obtained. A total of 1270 isolates were obtained from 1270 soil samples. The 1270 isolates were identified based on DNA sequence comparisons of the partial gene regions of , , , , , and . These isolates were identified as 11 species: (69.50%), . (13.10%), . (10.80%), . (2.50%), . (2.36%), . (0.31%), . (0.24%), . (0.24%), . (0.16%), and . (0.08%) in the . species complex and . (0.71%) in the . species complex. The three dominant species, . , . , and . , were widely distributed. The richness of (percentage of soil samples that yielded ) in soils in the eastern regions (relatively humid regions) was higher than that in the western regions. The richness of . × . , . , and . plantations decreased gradually. For each of the three dominant species, its richness in the eastern regions was generally higher than that in the western regions; the species richness was highest in . × . plantations for . , while for each of . and . its species richness was highest in . plantations. The genetic variation in . , . , and . was more greatly affected by geographic region than by plantation tree species. This study expanded our understanding of the richness, species diversity, and distribution characteristics of in soils from the plantations of different tree species in different geographic regions in southern China. Results in this study enhanced our understanding of the influencing characteristics of geographic region and tree species on the species and genetic diversity of soilborne fungi.

While soil microorganisms underpin terrestrial ecosystem functioning, how their functional potential adapts across environmental gradients remains poorly understood, particularly for ubiquitous taxa. Employing a comprehensive metagenomic approach across China's six major terrestrial ecosystems (41 topsoil samples, 0-20 cm depth), we reveal a counterintuitive pattern: oligotrophic environments (deserts, karst) harbor microbiomes with significantly greater metabolic pathway diversity (KEGG) compared to resource-rich ecosystems. We provide a systematic catalog of key functional genes governing biogeochemical cycles in these soils, identifying: 6 core CAZyme genes essential for soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition and biosynthesis; 62 nitrogen (N)-cycling genes (KOs) across seven critical enzymatic clusters; 15 sulfur (S)-cycling genes (KOs) within three key enzymatic clusters.

Plant roots are colonised by diverse communities of microorganisms that can affect plant growth and enhance plant resistance to (a) biotic stresses. We investigated the role of the indigenous soil microbiome in the resistance of tomato to the invasive sap-sucking insect Prodiplosis longifila (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae). Native and agricultural soils were sampled from the Andes in Southern Ecuador and tested, in greenhouse bioassays, for leaf tissue damage caused by P.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made pollutants widely used in industrial and consumer products, known to pose significant health risks. While their occurrence in water, soil, and food has been extensively studied, limited research has focused on ambient air, particularly in the U.S.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the toxic metals (TMs) pollution, bioaccumulation and its potential health risk via consumption of different vegetables irrigated by different water sources released from industrial estates of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Water (fresh and waste), soil and vegetables samples were collected in triplicates and acid digested. Digestion of samples were followed by evaporation and filtration and then assessed for TMs via atomic absorption spectrophotometer.

The use of mercury (Hg) in artisanal gold mining in San Martin de Loba (SML), Bolivar, Colombia, poses significant environmental and health risks. This study aimed to evaluate total mercury (T-Hg) concentrations in chicken feathers (Gallus gallus) and soils from SML, and compare them with those obtained in a reference site without mining activity (Arjona). A total of 40 chickens and 30 soil samples were taken in SML, along with 31 chickens and 21 soil samples in Arjona.
