This study employs an ensemble modelling (EM) approach, a robust predictive technique in ecological niche modelling that enables us to identify critical environmental drivers affecting plant distributions across different ecosystems' focal species. The EM incorporated four prediction algorithms (generalized linear model, boosted regression trees, random forest, and maximum entropy algorithms); we modelled Atlas pistachio's niche with 2810 occurrence points and 32 environmental variables, including climatic, edaphic, topographic, and anthropogenic factors. The model demonstrated high accuracy, with an AUC of 0.97 and TSS of 0.88. Key factors influencing distribution were precipitation in the driest month (Bio14), soil bulk density (BD), cation exchange capacity (CEC), human modification, and average diurnal amplitude (Bio2), with a relative importance of 20.1%, 12.7%, 6.7%, 4.9%, and 3.1%, respectively. These findings underscore the utility of ensemble modelling to pinpoint specific environmental variables critical to the species' presence and ecological adaptability, which has broader implications for other plant species in arid landscapes. Notably, the probability of Atlas pistachio occurrence increased with BD and decreased with CEC and human influence. Our results emphasize the EM approach as a versatile tool in ecological modelling, facilitating species-specific analyses that contribute to broader ecological restoration efforts, especially in degraded arid and semi-arid regions. This study advances our understanding of Atlas pistachio's environmental requirements and highlights the importance of EM in developing targeted programs to restore degraded ecosystems.</p>","PeriodicalId":794,"journal":{"name":"The Science of Nature","volume":"111 6","pages":"64"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142666803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, systematic research on the impact of spraying TiO<small>₂</small>-NPs on wheat growth, metabolism, and stress tolerance cultivated in cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soil is limited, especially in integration with planting density, requiring a deeper understanding. Our study showed that spraying with 3.1 mg per plant TiO<small>₂</small>-NPs (in pots) and 21.6 mg m<small>⁻²</small> TiO<small>₂</small>-NPs combined with high planting densities (in the field) both significantly reduced the Cd content in wheat grains by 27.9 and 35.7%, respectively. Immobilization of subcellular water-soluble Cd and the conversion of Cd into inactive plant components in leaves were the primary reasons for this reduction. Metabolomics further revealed the up-regulation of metabolites related to antioxidant activity, plant stress resistance, growth promotion, and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, which promotes plant growth, enhances wheat antioxidant enzyme activity, and alleviates oxidative stress. Transcriptomic analysis validated the association between these responses and improved plant stress resistance, with genes such as MYB, WRKY, P450, and Cd membrane transport-related genes like ABCG2 and ABCC3 contributing to the decrease in Cd levels in wheat. Importantly, the Cd-associated human health risk index was also reduced <em>via</em> foliar TiO<small>₂</small>-NPs application.

As a result, it was observed that fiber wall thickness decreased in seedlings exposed to both drought and UV-B radiation in both species. It was determined that plant gas exchange parameters decreased with drought stress but did not vary much with UV-B stress; the amount of plant transpiration decreased with the effect of drought and increased with the amount of UV-B radiation.

Notably, among different types of nanomaterials, the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown significant attention owing to their porosity, organic composition, biocompatibility, and tailored structural and compositional properties. Herein, in this research work, we have effectively prepared four types of MOFs including ZIF-8, ZIF-67, PFC 6, and PFC-7. Interestingly, among all prepared MOFs, the ZIF-67 exhibited exceptional performance. With an aim to further improve the efficacy of ZIF-67, we decorated it with SnO2. Among as-prepared samples, the optimal sample 5SnO2/ZIF-67 nanocomposite exhibited exceptional efficiency in terms of its high chemical and thermal stability, large surface area, selective antipathogenic activities, high catalytic activities, and disease resistance properties. Based on our various characterization techniques, such as XRD, DRS, PL, FS, BET, FT-IR, and RAMAN it has been confirmed that the incorporation of SnO2 into ZIF-67 leads to adjustments in band gaps, enhanced stability, modulated photo-electrons, provides large surface area, abundant active sites, and upgraded adsorption and selectivity for antipathogenic and pesticide degradation activities. As compared to pure ZIF-67, the most active sample 5SnO2@ZIF-67 showed ~4.5 and ~2.6 times significant improvement for glyphosate (GLY) and acephate (ACPH) degradation respectively. Remarkably, our prepared samples also offered potent performances against various pathogens in the Luria-Bertani medium. Based on the scavenger tests, •OH and O2- are respectively responsible for GLY and ACPH decomposition. Accordingly, the activities improvement mechanism and biochemical pathways are proposed. Finally, our novel research work will provide a gateway for the fabrication of MOFs-based green nanomaterials that will unlock a wide range of opportunities and applications in antipathogenic, and pesticide degradation activities and tomato plant growth.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Spill response methods for coastal regions, such as spill-treating agents, sorbents, and bioremediation, may face constraints due to environmental concerns, limited absorption capacity, and low effectiveness.

These nanomaterials have shown great potential in oil removal, recovery, and degradation through different mechanisms. Nanoparticles or nanocomposites can interact with spilled oil by breaking it into small droplets and forming stable Pickering emulsions. They can also remove oil from water by absorption, adsorption, or in combination with both due to their large surface area and numerous sorption sites. Furthermore, some nanomaterials possess catalytic activity to speed up the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons into less harmful compounds. Moreover, the introduction of nanomaterials can be beneficial for bacteria proliferation, nutrient supply, and maintenance of favorable conditions, thereby accelerating the oil biodegradation process by microorganisms.

Adsorption, as an efficient process for wastewater treatment. For the adsorption process, the adsorbent was the key parameter. Manganese oxides have strong specific adsorption and catalytic oxidation capacity for Mn(II). Serpentine loading was an effective way to improve the dispersion of manganese oxides and the adsorption efficiency of heavy metals. This study aimed to remove dissolved Mn(II) from groundwater using a raw serpentine modified with manganese oxide (Srp/MO). SEM, EDS, XRD, BET and XPS were used to characterize the physicochemical properties and characteristic groups of the serpentine before and after loading. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on Box-Behnken method was used to design the experiment to optimize the effects of dosage, oscillation rate and reaction time on manganese removal. The results show that after modification, the pores of serpentine become larger, the surface becomes smooth and loose, the basic skeleton has no obvious change, the specific surface area increases, and the total pore volume decreases. The adsorption behavior of Mn(II) by Srp/MO follows Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum adsorption rate of Mn(II) in water by Srp/MO was 34.88 mg/g, which was 7.6 times that of the raw serpentine. The primary mechanism for Mn(II) removal by Srp/MO was based on physical adsorption and mediated by Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ species. The optimal manganese removal conditions were as follows: Srp/MO dosage 80 mg/L, oscillation rate 180 r/min, reaction time 104 min. At this time, the manganese removal rate was 99.3%, which was basically consistent with 100% predicted by the model. A regeneration study over three cycles indicated that Srp/MO possessed promising reusability potential. In conclusion, Srp/MO was an excellent adsorption material for the removal of Mn(II) in groundwater, which provides a new solution for the purification treatment of manganese containing groundwater.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"235 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142664480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
