Abstract
The application of livestock manure serves as a significant source of ARGs in soils. To study the impact of manure application on the migration of ARGs in the soil-plant system, we set different application ratios (1 %, 3 %, 8 %) of chicken and cow manure for treatment. The study's results demonstrated that the application of organic fertilizers increased the quantity of resistance genes in soil, root, and leaf zones. This change was influenced by the type and proportion of the organic fertilizers used. ARGs and MGEs exhibited the highest absolute enrichment levels in leaf tissues (2.53 and 2.01 times, respectively) with the 3 % cow manure treatment. In contrast, chicken manure exhibited the highest enrichment levels after the 1 % addition (2.51 and 1.81 times, respectively). The applied manure exhibited a high degree of similarity in bacterial community composition with the soil-lettuce system, indicating that ARGs may spread through microorganisms in this system. This study demonstrated that the evolution of bacterial community structure plays a pivotal role in mediating and driving the migration of ARGs within manure-amended soil-plant ecosystems, providing a theoretical basis for understanding the transmission of ARGs in soils and plants due to agricultural production activities.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollution is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research papers and review articles covering all aspects of environmental pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
• Sources and occurrences of pollutants that are clearly defined and measured in environmental compartments, food and food-related items, and human bodies;
• Interlinks between contaminant exposure and biological, ecological, and human health effects, including those of climate change;
• Contaminants of emerging concerns (including but not limited to antibiotic resistant microorganisms or genes, microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes, light, and noise) and/or their biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Laboratory and field studies on the remediation/mitigation of environmental pollution via new techniques and with clear links to biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Modeling of pollution processes, patterns, or trends that is of clear environmental and/or human health interest;
• New techniques that measure and examine environmental occurrences, transport, behavior, and effects of pollutants within the environment or the laboratory, provided that they can be clearly used to address problems within regional or global environmental compartments.
