This study presents the construction of a highly sensitive and photocatalytic surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) platform with the multiplex antibiotic detection capability by the machine learning technique. The developed SERS platform utilizes the Ag/NiFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> microcomposite composed of highly active NiFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> microroses with oxygen vacancies and closely adjacent ultra-thin petals on which photoreduced silver nanoparticles are densely distributed. As a binary transition metal oxide semiconductor, NiFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> has the conduction band edge near the middle point between the Fermi level of silver and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of nitrofurantoin to strengthen photoinduced charge transfer for Raman signal enhancement. Its medium bandgap facilitates optical excitation to increase the amount of electrons accumulated in the LUMO of nitrofurantoin. The Ag/NiFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> microcomposite owns superior detection performance, including an ultra-low limit of detection of 3.18 × 10<sup>-12</sup> M, a substantial enhancement factor of 2.08 × 10<sup>10</sup>, high uniformity, high reproducibility, and satisfactory storage stability. Its ultra-high sensitivity can be attributed to the action of numerous electromagnetic hotpots between Ag NPs, the effective charge transfer from the microcomposite to the analyte, and the synergistic action of electromagnetic and charge transfer mechanisms. Multiple antibiotic discrimination for nitrofurantoin, nitrofurazone, and furazolidone, is performed by the machine learning algorithms, including decision tree, support vector machine, adaptive boosting, k-nearest neighbors, and random forest, with the best accuracy of 99.42 %.

We compared SSB composition and density across plant functional groups (annuals, perennials, forbs, and grasses) at 0-5 cm and 5-10 cm soil depths under varying land-use and grazing intensities. Results showed that cultivated lands had lower SSB densities for all functional groups compared to intact ungrazed rangelands. These differences were most pronounced in the upper soil layer, where the highest total SSB densities were recorded in UR and LL and lowest in WL and HL. Annual SSB densities were highest in UR and LL, lowest in WL. Perennial densities were low overall, being highest in UR and lowest in HL and GR. Overall, our findings suggest that the conversion of natural rangelands into agricultural lands leads to SSB depletion. Furthermore, intensive grazing in rangelands appears to exert a more pronounced negative impact on SSB than conversion to agricultural use. Abandoned lands, even several years after abandonment, showed critically depleted SSBs, revealing that passive recovery is unlikely and that SSB depletion severely hinders ecological restoration, emphasizing the need to integrate SSB assessments into restoration planning for land-use changes.</p>","PeriodicalId":422,"journal":{"name":"Science of the Total Environment","volume":"997 ","pages":"180209"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144811591","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}

With rising demand leading to overexploitation, species such as Holothuria arguinensis in the NE-Atlantic have become new targets for fisheries.

This study examines the reproductive cycle of H. arguinensis in an unexploited population along the southwestern coast of Portugal over 18 months, with monthly samplings and concurrent environmental data collection. The study found a balanced sex ratio (1:1) with no significant sexual dimorphism in size, though females had significantly higher gonad weights and gonadosomatic indices (GI), indicating greater reproductive investment. Reproductive activity peaked from April to July, aligning with longer photoperiods and higher seawater temperatures. The size at first maturity was 204 mm for males and 203 mm for females, suggesting early maturity. Environmental analysis showed that photoperiod positively affects GI, while higher temperatures trigger spawning events. Peaks in chlorophyll-a corresponded with spawning, suggesting phytoplankton biomass may cue reproduction. This study also highlights differences and similarities among populations, prompting whether additional variables or more complex interactions shape reproductive cycles beyond photoperiod, temperature, and phytoplankton biomass. These findings underscore the need to protect larger, fecund individuals to maintain population resilience and ensure sustainable harvesting. Furthermore, they reinforce the importance of research on reproductive drivers and management.

Sample collection is routinely conducted at wastewater treatment plants, and samples from wastewater treatment plants can conveniently be used for infectious disease surveillance. The sensitivity of wastewater surveillance for detecting emerging pathogens, however, is lower in high-population areas. In response to a paralytic polio case in Rockland County, the New York State wastewater surveillance network implemented wastewater surveillance in the immediate and neighboring counties, and additional wastewater surveillance at sampling points upstream from the wastewater treatment plants where positive samples were detected. The purpose of this paper is to describe the lessons learned from the rapid emergency deployment of upstream sampling in response to the poliovirus outbreak. Sampling upstream from the treatment plants at manholes in the system reduced the total sampled population in the primary treatment plant serving Rockland County from roughly 201,000 to sub-area populations ranging from roughly 3100 to 78,300, enabling more precise identification of where polio transmission was occurring. Detections across several of these upstream areas confirmed that poliovirus was not isolated to a single individual case or limited to a specific community. Maintaining upstream sampling was challenged by a lack of dedicated staff and funding. Implementation of upstream sampling highlighted the importance of preparation, including underlying data of the sewer infrastructure, coordination between government agencies, and readiness with sampling equipment. As the threat of emerging infectious diseases increases, due in part to increased vaccine hesitancy, well-planned upstream wastewater sampling strategies by health departments should be considered as additional outbreak response tools.</p>","PeriodicalId":422,"journal":{"name":"Science of the Total Environment","volume":"997 ","pages":"180216"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144811522","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}

The LI diet resulted in reduced final weight (-13 %) and increased feed conversion ratio (+8 %) compared to ST diet, with commercial hybrids showed the greatest reduction in performance. The LI diet also reduced digestibility coefficients for dry matter, crude protein, and gross energy. Feed production was the dominant contributor to environmental impacts. Genotype influenced all impact categories, with Ross 308 showing the lowest values, while BP × SA and BP exhibited the highest ones. The LI diet reduced global warming potential with land use change (-46 %) but increased land occupation (+22 %) and water use (+26 %). In conclusion, a multifaceted approach is necessary for sustainable poultry production, balancing high yields to reduce environmental impact and adaptive traits that contribute to system resilience.</p>","PeriodicalId":422,"journal":{"name":"Science of the Total Environment","volume":"997 ","pages":"180196"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144797802","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}
