Through a systematic analysis of growth indicators, antioxidant enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase [SOD], catalase [CAT], peroxidase [POD]), malondialdehyde (MDA) and proline (Pro) contents, as well as heavy metal accumulation patterns, we comprehensively clarified the stress response and accumulation characteristics of comfrey under heavy metal exposure. The results demonstrated that heavy metal stress exerts a significant influence on the growth of <i>Symphytum officinale</i> L.. Its biomass, leaf length, leaf width, and stem length are negatively correlated with the stress concentration, and the inhibitory effect of combined stress is more pronounced. Nevertheless, <i>Symphytum officinale</i> L. shows good tolerance to both single and combined stresses. Only the degree of root inhibition varies according to the type and concentration of heavy metals. At the physiological and biochemical levels, heavy metal stress inhibits the synthesis of chlorophyll and has complex effects on the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, POD, and CAT, as well as the contents of MDA and Pro. Compared with single stress, combined stress generally has a more intense inhibitory effect on enzyme activities. Under different heavy-metal stresses, each indicator presents different changing trends. Regarding accumulation capacity, the absorption and enrichment amounts of Pb, Zn, and Cd by <i>Symphytum officinale</i> L. increase significantly with the increase of stress concentration. The enrichment amount in roots is significantly higher than that in the aboveground counterparts, and the enrichment ability under single stress is stronger than that under combined stress. Although its transfer effect on heavy metals is not ideal, its enrichment ability far exceeds that of common plants. It has certain tolerance and detoxification abilities and is an excellent germplasm resource for remediating heavy - metal - polluted soil.

The dynamic, quantitative evaluation of such quality serves as a cornerstone for strategizing ecological protection measures and fostering ecological civilization. Leveraging MODIS data spanning from 2001 to 2020, this study harnesses the power of the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform and the remote sensing ecological index (RSEI) as a pivotal evaluation tool to conduct a comprehensive appraisal of the ecological health of the southern slope of the Qilian Mountains. Employing Sen's trend analysis and the Mann-Kendall (M-K) test, we delineate the spatial evolution patterns of the RSEI, offering insights into its temporal dynamics. Furthermore, by integrating geological information mapping with Pearson correlation analysis, we delve into the intricate interplay between natural environmental factors and human activities that shape RSEI variations. Our findings revealed several salient points: Firstly, the ecological quality of the southern slope of the Qilian Mountains exhibited pronounced spatial heterogeneity, with the vicinities of the Datong, Heihe, Beida, and Babao River basins boasting exceptional ecological quality, in contrast to the relatively degraded conditions in higher-elevation areas. Temporally, from 2001 to 2020, the RSEI index fluctuated within a range of 0.62 to 0.70, signifying an overall enhancement in ecological environment quality, a testament to the vigorous implementation of ecological restoration projects in recent years. The average annual RSEI value stood at 0.66, indicative of stability amidst modest fluctuations, though peripheral regions experienced notable RSEI volatility due to climatic shifts. Encouragingly, over 80% of the southern slope experienced ecological improvement, with a mere 11% experiencing slight degradation, suggesting a promising trajectory for future ecological enhancement. However, caution must be exercised against the risk of unsustainable improvement. Temperature, precipitation, and human interventions all contributed to RSEI variations, with temperature exerting a more pronounced influence than precipitation. Notably, human activities correlated positively with RSEI, underscoring the significance of human stewardship in ecological improvement.

The investigation of plant-microbially mediated nitrogen removal processes and N<sub>2</sub>O emissions in the littoral zone of urban lakes is of great significance for maintaining the stability of lake ecosystems, strengthening nitrogen management, and controlling N<sub>2</sub>O emission, as well as realizing sustainable urban development. In this study, the littoral zone of Xuanwu Lake (a typical urban lake in Nanjing) was selected to compare the <i>in situ</i> N<sub>2</sub>O emission fluxes, potential denitrification and ANAMMOX rates, as well as the abundance, diversity, and composition of functional microbial communities associated with three dominant plants (i.e., <i>Nelumbo nucifera</i>, <i>Phragmites australis</i>, and <i>Dichondra micrantha</i>) using <sup>15</sup>N isotope pairing, real-time quantitative PCR, and high-throughput sequencing techniques. In addition, the influences of different driving factors on the potential denitrification and ANAMMOX rates and N<sub>2</sub>O fluxes were further explored in the littoral zone.

Therefore, two organic and traditional farming species: green radish (<i>Raphanus sativus</i> L.) and coriander (<i>Coriandrum sativum</i> L.) species were selected as representatives to compare and analyze the abundance of ARGs and mobile gene elements (MGEs) and microbial community structure of the vegetable surface bacteria and endophytic bacteria using real-time PCR and 16S rRNA sequencing technology.

Similarly, the relative abundance of MGEs in endophytic bacteria of organically grown vegetables was significantly higher than those of the conventionally grown vegetables. Additionally, the abundance of MGEs positively correlated with the abundance of ARGs (<i>P</i><0.05), indicating that the organic farming practices increased the abundance of ARGs in the microbiomes of the vegetables by promoting horizontal gene transfer.

Examining the spatial and temporal evolution of ecological environment quality, along with the zoning for ecological management, is crucial for enhancing the management and development of ecological environments. Based on the Google Earth Engine cloud platform, four indicators-heat, greenness, dryness, and wetness-were extracted from MODIS remote sensing image data spanning 2000 to 2023. The remote sensing ecological index (RESI) model was constructed using principal component analysis. By combining the coefficient of variation (CV), Sen + Mann-Kendall, and Hurst indices, the spatial and temporal variations and future trends of ecological environmental quality of the Inner Mongolia were analyzed. The influencing mechanisms were explored using a geographical detector, and the quadrant method was employed for ecological management zoning based on the intensity of human activities and the quality of the ecological environment. The results indicated that: ① The ecological environment quality of Inner Mongolia from 2000 to 2023 was mainly characterized as poor to average, with a spatial trend of decreasing quality from east to west. From 2000 to 2005, Inner Mongolia experienced environmental degradation, followed by a gradual improvement in ecological environment quality. ② Inner Mongolia exhibited the largest area of non-significantly improved and non-significantly degraded regions, and the overall environmental quality was more stable. However, ecosystems in the western region were more fragile and prone to fluctuations. The area of sustained degradation versus sustained improvement in the future trend of change was larger, and the western region is expected to be the main area of improvement in the future. ③ The results of single-factor detection showed that the influences on RSEI values were, in descending order, precipitation, soil type, land use type, air temperature, vegetation type, elevation, population density, GDP, and nighttime lighting; the interactions among driving factors on RSEI changes showed a bivariate or nonlinear enhancement, which suggests that the interactions of each driving factor could improve the explanatory power of spatial variations in ecological environment quality. ④ Based on the coupling of human activity intensity and ecological environment quality, the 12 league cities of Inner Mongolia were divided into ecological development coordination zones, ecological development reserves, and ecological development risk zones. This study can provide a scientific basis for ecological environmental protection and sustainable development in Inner Mongolia.</p>","PeriodicalId":35937,"journal":{"name":"环境科学","volume":"46 7","pages":"4499-4509"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144660604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, comprehensive and quantitative monitoring and analysis of the spatio-temporal changes and driving factors of eco-environment quality are critically important for regional eco-environment protection. Based on Google Earth Engine (GEE), and taking the ecological characteristics into account, an adjusted remote sensing ecological index(RSEI<sub>A</sub>)was constructed by introducing the composite salinity index (CSI) and desertification difference index (DDI) into the classical remote sensing ecological index (RSEI). Dynamic monitoring of eco-environment quality in the Loess Plateau of Northern Shaanxi from 2000 to 2020 was carried out. Spatial distribution characteristics and driving factors of eco-environment quality were discussed using spatial autocorrelation analysis and a geo-detector model. The results show that: ① The contribution rate of the first principal component (PC1) of RSEI<sub>A</sub> generally exceeded 91%, which can be used to comprehensively reflect the characteristics of each ecological factor and has wide application in regional eco-environment quality evaluation. ② Over the past two decades, the regional eco-environment quality has improved distinctly, showing an increasing trend first, followed by a decline and then an increasing pattern. From 2000 to 2020, the area proportion of very poor and poor quality decreased from 72.83% to 33.41%, respectively, and the proportion of good and excellent quality increased from 15.93% to 37.05%. ③ Improved areas were greater than those of deterioration, and significant improvements accounting for 31.37% were observed particularly from 2000 to 2005. From 2010 to 2015, the most severe degradation occurred with a proportion of 10.14%. Improved areas were concentrated in the central and northeastern parts, whereas degraded areas were located mainly in the west. ④ The spatial distribution of the regional eco-environment quality had a strong and close positive spatial correlation. NDVI outperformed other ecological factors and contributed the most to RSEI<sub>A</sub>, while in other factors, precipitation was the most influential one. The results are expected to provide basic information and scientific foundation for the monitoring and protection of regional eco-environment quality.</p>","PeriodicalId":35937,"journal":{"name":"环境科学","volume":"46 7","pages":"4522-4533"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144660605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
