Tracing the origin of wood based on its elemental and isotopic composition is in particular interesting for provenance studies at the regional scale, as dendrochemical signatures are indicative of geological and pedological characteristics. Although, absorption of nutrients and trace elements reflects the composition of soil bioavailable pools, it is also modulated by multiple environmental and tree related factors. We assess the dendrochemical approach in oak wood provenance studies regarding the challenges posed by 1) geochemical variation at a local level, and 2) dendrochemical variation related to oak species, age and social status. A combination of 13 elemental concentrations and 2 isotope - Sr and Nd - ratios was analyzed in oak wood from 12 forests situated in the large Seine river catchment in France. The sampling targeted sites with representative types of geological parent material, where adult trees of two common temperate Quercus species (Quercus petraea and Quercus robur) were selected. The impact of tree characteristics was markedly weaker than that of the site factor and the minimal differences in dendrochemical composition between Quercus petraea and Quercus robur were considered without effect on determination of the geographical origin. Linear discriminant analysis based on Ca-normalized elemental concentrations and Sr and Nd isotope ratios correctly classified the origin of 93 % of the sampled trees. Strontium isotope ratio ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr was the strongest provenance indicator capable of determining the origin of 55 % of wood samples on its own. Our system based on elemental and strontium and neodymium isotopic compositions provides robust indicators for wood tracing and might be applied to provenance studies in environment, physiology, history and archeology.</p>","PeriodicalId":422,"journal":{"name":"Science of the Total Environment","volume":" ","pages":"177640"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142680352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

Under this perspective, this study aims at exploring the environmental burdens associated with a local university canteen for students through the application of LCA to a set of meal combination scenarios offered weekly to consumers. For the assessment, the authors designed a set of eight meal alternatives to create four daily meal combinations (DMCs), assuming 150 customers frequent the canteen service daily. Sixteen DMC scenarios based on a 1-to-3 weekly offer frequency have been tested. Results show the environmental impacts are highly affected by the food content and the weekly offer frequency, with the largest contributions coming when higher frequencies are combined with more impactful foods in the menus. The study highlights, overall, that global warming, eutrophication, acidification, and the depletion of the abiotic elements are the most relevant indicators for such an evaluation.

Protists are the primary top-down predators of bacterial communities, altering their compositions, while the bottom-up resources are the primary factors limiting bacterial growth. Here, we hypothesized that the top-down predators modulate soil bacterial community composition, while the bottom-up nutrients control the bacterial growth and population. To precisely control nutrient levels, we used an inert soil substitute consisting of a combination of calcined clay and sand. Nutrients equivalent to the reference paddy field soil were added to microcosms as a control treatment. To investigate the effects of C, N, and P, six additional bottom-up treatments in the absence and double amounts of the nutrients were prepared. Four top-down treatments (no protist addition, Acanthamoeba castellanii, Vermamoeba vermiformis, and Heteromita globosa) were set up for each bottom-up treatment. A total of 252 microcosms under 28 treatments were incubated. Bacterial communities were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing and real-time PCR in the 1st, 3rd, and 5th weeks. The results revealed that the top-down predators significantly altered the bacterial community composition, and the bacterial population was predominantly controlled by the bottom-up nutrients. Analysis of absolute abundance data demonstrated that both top-down and bottom-up factors shaped the bacterial community structure (community composition and population). Random forest analysis classified the amplicon sequence variants associated with the treatments, showing that mostly similar families were affected by both bottom-up and top-down factors. In conclusion, the results of this study fully supported our hypothesis that top-down predators alter community composition, while bottom-up factors influence bacterial population dynamics.</p>","PeriodicalId":422,"journal":{"name":"Science of the Total Environment","volume":" ","pages":"177634"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142685639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

While lysimeters and fabricated ecosystems suitably fit in this gap, their use as mesoscale experimental facilities has not been fully explored because of the limited manipulating capabilities and integration with imaging and monitoring methods, particularly for soil functioning. The proposed fabricated ecosystem (4.7 L × 1.2 W × 1.2 H m) focuses on the spatiotemporal integration of point sensors and imaging methods along the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. Because energy and water fluxes are key environmental drivers, the designed setup was first applied to a multi-approach evapotranspiration investigation. Below the ground, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) was combined with soil water sensors and a distributed temperature profiling system. Together, they provided the 3D monitoring of water and temperature changes, and thus an estimation of the evapotranspiration, as well as the interpretation of its below-ground controlling processes. Above-ground sensors supported a classical energy balance investigation that was compared with the lysimeter load changes and the ERT-based ET estimation. Our results provide first experimental evidence of water and temperature spatiotemporal variability at the lysimeter scale, and thus explain the discrepancies among the three estimated evapotranspiration time series and their seasonality. Beyond evapotranspiration, the multi-approach investigation of water and energy fluxes emphasizes how mesoscale setups can further support the development and upscaling of methods and models, as well as their integration and application under expected climate disturbances.</p>","PeriodicalId":422,"journal":{"name":"Science of the Total Environment","volume":" ","pages":"177565"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142692392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

Human activities (e.g., land use changes) jeopardize aquatic ecosystems as well as species, communities, etc., impairing ecosystem services. We investigate the impact of human disturbance on the foraging ecology of Neotropical freshwater fishes across five Brazilian biomes by stable isotope analysis. We analyzed carbon (δ¹³C) and nitrogen (δ¹⁵N) isotopic compositions of Neotropical fishes, sourced from the SIA-BRA dataset. Fishes were categorized into herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores. We tested the correlation between human disturbances, indicated by the human disturbance index (hdi), and changes in fish diets. We expected that the assimilation of C₄‑carbon from exotic forage would increase with higher disturbance levels, while δ¹⁵N levels would similarly rise due to nitrogen input from anthropogenic sources. We found increases in fish δ¹³C with human disturbance increases, suggesting greater assimilation of C₄ carbon in places where native vegetation was replaced by C₄ sources, confirmed by isotopic mixing models. In contrast, δ¹⁵N values did not show a significant relationship with human disturbance, probably due to the complex interactions and multiple sources of nitrogen in disturbed environments. Our finds suggest that stable isotope analysis provides a powerful tool for monitoring the effects of landscape changes on aquatic food webs. Particularly, the δ¹³C values of detritivorous fish that feed on C₄ plant detritus could serve as bioindicators of environmental degradation. However, a specific isotopic characterization of each site would be valuable for more accurate niche information.</p>","PeriodicalId":422,"journal":{"name":"Science of the Total Environment","volume":" ","pages":"177682"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142692422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

Through detailed summary of the relationship between root morphological parameters and soil infiltration rates in arid and semi-arid grasslands mainly with leguminous herbs, gramineous herbs and shrubs, the mechanisms that key parameters (root length density, surface area density, diameter, biomass density, architecture, secretion and decay rate) disturb soil infiltration through affecting soil structure such as porosity, soil bulk density and soil organic matter (SOM) are elucidated. Furthermore, the degree of root disturbance on soil structure and infiltration rates are partially clarified by constructing quantitatively structural equation modeling path diagrams. The results show roots have the most significant effect to increase soil infiltration rates through increasing non-capillary pores, contributing to >50 % of the positive effect. In contrast, the increased SOM influenced by roots can obstruct soil infiltration and offset about 25 % of the positive effects. In addition, the impact of root disturbance on transport of nutrients, pesticide and pathogenic microorganisms in rhizosphere soil is also discussed to analyze the potential influence on food and water environmental safety. The presence of roots reduces the amount of leachate-prone nutrients, but their disturbance increases the rate of soil infiltration thus accelerates transport of solutes into deeper soil. Meanwhile, the rhizosphere alters the environmental behavior of pesticides and pathogenic microorganisms, increasing risk of plant roots exposure to them. At present, systematically quantifying the interference of plant roots on soil structure and soil infiltration capacity remains a major challenge. It is necessary to further improve the research methodology and strengthen the study of root soil interaction mechanisms, providing scientific basis and technical support for sustainable agricultural development and ecological environment protection.</p>","PeriodicalId":422,"journal":{"name":"Science of the Total Environment","volume":" ","pages":"177633"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142695161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}
