Here, the dual effects of dynamic recovery in microbial nitrogen-removal functions and irreversible accumulation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) under gradient SMX+N-SMX exposure (10-1000 μg·L<sup>-1</sup> with 30-day stepwise increments) in lab-scale CWs were systematically revealed.

Specifically, LDH-based materials, with or without biofilm (QSLB: 88.3% and QSL: 91.3%), significantly outperformed the original QS (70.4%). Total P flux even reversed to negative values, particularly in the QSLB treatments, which exhibited the lowest proportion of loosely bound P (1.8%), compared to 3.5% for QSL and 13.1% for QS. Principal component analysis revealed that QSLB had minimal disturbance to overlying water and sediment properties relative to the blank control, highlighting its environmental compatibility. Moreover, nitrate-intercalated LDHs functioned as a slow-release oxidant, enhancing the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of overlying water, demonstrating their multifunctional potential for long-term internal P control.
