To explore the effects of altitude on the communities of microbes and potential pathogenic bacteria, we sampled airborne microbes and soils at sites with different altitudes in Shigatse of Xizang. The results showed a significant difference in bacterial communities between air and soil and a decrease in the contribution of soil to airborne bacteria from the sites with a lower altitude to the sites with a higher altitude. The Chao1 indexes of airborne bacteria were significantly higher in the sites with a lower altitude compared to those with a higher altitude, and the bacterial Bray-Curtis distances between sites with a lower altitude were significantly lower than those between sites with a lower altitude and high altitude. These results indicated that altitude would affect the community patterns of airborne bacteria, and the transport of air would decrease the variations in airborne microbial communities between different sites. Proteobacteria, with 84%-91% of average abundance, predominated in the airborne bacterial communities, but different taxa were enriched in sites with different altitudes. For example, the genera of <i>Flavobacterium</i> and <i>Lactobacillus</i> were enriched in sites with a lower altitude and a higher altitude, respectively. A total of 78 potential bacterial pathogens were detected across all samples, and the relative abundance of them in bacterial communities ranged from 2.69% to 38.19%.

However, accurately capturing the time-series nonlinear variation characteristics of PM<sub>10</sub> concentration is challenging owing to the specific intensity of port operation activities and the influence of meteorological factors. To address such challenges, a novel combined deep learning model (CLAF) was proposed, merging cascaded convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and an attention mechanism (AM). This integrated model aimed to forecast hourly PM<sub>10</sub> concentration in dry bulk ports. First, using the random forest characteristic importance algorithm, the distinct meteorological factors were identified among the selected five meteorological factors. These selected factors were incorporated into the prediction model along with the PM<sub>10</sub> concentration. Subsequently, the CNN layer was employed to extract high-dimensional time-varying features from the input variables, while the LSTM layer captured sequential features and long-term dependencies. In the AM layer, different weights were assigned to the output components of the LSTM layer to amplify the effects of important information. Finally, three evaluation metrics were applied to compare the performance of the CLAF model with three basic models and three commonly used prediction models. Real-case data was collected and used in this study.

The results showed that: ① In recent years, NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>-N and TP concentrations in the mainstream have declined significantly, with annual NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>-N and TP concentrations at each monitoring station in 2020 averagely decreasing by 41% and 34% compared to those in 2003, respectively. Spatially, NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>-N and TP concentrations decreased and then increased along the mainstream. NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>-N and TP concentrations of tributary inflows, which include the Dongting Lake and Han River, were generally lower than that of the mainstream.

Then, this study used the urbanization index as a key indicator of spatial urbanization and utilized the transect line and global grid analysis methods to investigate the response characteristics of FVC to different urbanization gradients. The results indicated that: ① FVC changes showed spatial and temporal heterogeneity. From 2000 to 2020, Beijing was predominantly covered by high vegetation, accounting for 65.22% of the total area, which was mainly distributed in ecological conservation areas consistent with the Jundu, Xishan, and Yaji Mountain ranges. The FVC presented an overall positive development trend, with a decreasing trend of areas with low FVC. The increase in FVC was significant (by 28.68%), mainly distributed in ecological conservation areas and within a range of 10-12 km in concentric circles centered around Tiananmen Square.

The meta-analysis examined the effect of N addition levels [low N: ≤50 kg·(hm<sup>2</sup>·a)<sup>-1</sup>, medium N: 50-100 kg·(hm<sup>2</sup>·a)<sup>-1</sup>, and high N: >100 kg·(hm<sup>2</sup>·a)<sup>-1</sup>, in terms of N] on SOC and its fractions [particular organic C (POC), readily oxidized organic C (ROC), microbial biomass C (MBC), and dissolved organic C (DOC)]. The results showed that N addition levels significantly affected the responses of farmland and forest soil SOC and their active fractions to N addition. Specifically, low and high N additions significantly increased SOC concentration in farmland ecosystems, whereas medium N addition significantly increased SOC concentration in forest ecosystems. In addition, soil active C fraction concentrations increased under high N addition in farmland ecosystems and under low and medium N addition in forest ecosystems. Without considering the level of N addition, N addition significantly enhanced soil organic matter (SOM) mineralization in both farmland and forest ecosystems and increased the SOC concentration in farmland ecosystems but not forest ecosystems. The responses of different active C fractions to N addition were diverse. In farmland ecosystems, the POC and ROC concentrations increased, but DOC did not change with N addition. In forest ecosystems, the DOC and POC concentrations increased, but there was no significant effect on MBC. Moreover, the response ratios (RR) of SOC and its fractions in different ecosystems to N addition were influenced by different environmental factors. In farmland ecosystems, the response ratio of SOC was related to the annual average temperature and soil pH. The response ratio of DOC was affected by the annual average temperature, mean annual precipitation, and N addition rate. The POC response ratio was related to the N addition rate.

However, the response ratios of DOC, POC, and MBC were not affected by the annual average temperature, mean annual precipitation, soil pH, and N addition rate.
