This study aimed to explore the regulation mechanisms of fungal communities on soil fertility, enzyme activities, and crop yield by employing co-occurrence network and structural equation model analyses. Our results showed that long-term straw returning significantly improved soil nutrients, enzyme activity, and wheat yield. Compared with the NPK and NF treatments, soil organic matter (SOM) increased by 9.20% and 34.75%, alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen (AN) increased by 12.03% and 39.17%, dehydrogenase (DHA) increased by 37.21% and 50.91%, <i>β</i>-glucosidase (<i>β</i>-GC) increased by 17.29% and 73.48%, and wheat production increased by 16.22% and 125.53%, respectively. Different long-term fertilization regimes did not significantly change soil fungal <i>α</i>-diversity but resulted in significant differences in <i>β</i>-diversity. Available phosphorus (AP), SOM, and AN were the main driving factors of fungal community differentiation based on redundancy analysis and hierarchical partitioning analysis. Different abundance analyses revealed significantly different fungal community compositions among fertilization regimes.

Co-occurrence network analysis showed that the fungal network was composed of four main modules; the cumulative relative abundance of module 2 was significantly increased under the NPKS treatment and showed a positive linear correlation with DHA and <i>β</i>-GC.

In addition, the phytoremediation efficiency for Cd in the low-contamination group ranged from 5.58% to 7.49%, and N significantly increased the efficiency in the high co-contamination group from 0.95% to 3.02%.

By selecting a high concentration (30 mg·L<sup>-1</sup>) of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and trimethoprim (TMP) as historical exposure stress conditions, the effects of SMX and TMP-combined pollution on ARGs, bacterial communities, and their interactions were explored in short-term experiments. Based on high-throughput quantitative PCR, a total of 13 ARGs were detected, and the absolute abundance was 2.21-5.42 copies·μL<sup>-1</sup> (logarithm, DNA, the same below).

Particularly, <i>Candidatus_Alysiosphaera</i> and <i>Fusibacter</i> were positively correlated with most of the ARGs, being the common protentional hosts. Importantly, some rare genera (RT, <i>Variibacter, Aeromonas, Cloacibacterium</i>, etc.) were potential hosts of transposon <i>IS613</i>, which played an important role in the proliferation and spread of ARGs. In conclusion, this study revealed the legacy effects of historical antibiotic stress on ARGs and their hosts, which could provide new ideas and theoretical basis for reducing ARGs pollution in WWTPs.</p>","PeriodicalId":172067,"journal":{"name":"Huan jing ke xue= Huanjing kexue","volume":"43 10","pages":"4536-4544"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33501412","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}
