The results indicate a decreasing trend in soil erosion from 2000 to 2008, followed by a sharp increase from 2008 to 2018. Grassland edge density emerged as the most important factor, followed closely by grassland percentage and annual precipitation. Temporally, the positive effect of annual precipitation has been intensifying since 2010, contributing to increased erosion, while landscape structural factors progressively enhanced their hydrological regulatory roles, reflecting dynamic interactions with climate. Spatially, the direction of climatic influences remained generally stable, consistently promoting erosion, although by 2018, the effects of average annual temperature and annual sunshine duration reversed to suppress erosion in specific areas. In contrast, landscape structural influences exhibited greater spatial variability, often fluctuating or reversing depending on topography, human activity, and land use. This variability applied specifically and differentially to each metric of fragmentation and diversity, highlighting the critical importance of trade-offs in landscape management. The findings emphasize the complexity and dynamics of soil erosion in response to climate and landscape structure, suggesting implications for the development of spatially targeted soil erosion control strategies that accommodate the phases of temporal variation.</p>","PeriodicalId":422,"journal":{"name":"Science of the Total Environment","volume":" ","pages":"177471"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142611299","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}

Aminopenicillins like ampicillin are important therapeutic options for Enterococcus infections in both humans and animals, with resistance mostly associated with pbp5 gene mutations or overexpression. While the occurrence of redundant pbp5 genes has been occasionally reported, the advantages for the host bacteria have not been explored in detail. During a whole-genome sequencing project of Enterococcus faecium from bacteremic patients, we identified an ST592 strain (Efm57) with redundant pbp5 genes. This presented an opportunity to investigate the prevalence and implications of multiple pbp5 acquisitions in diverse Enterococcus species across various sources, geographical regions, and timeframes. The analysis of 618 complete Enterococcus genomes from public databases revealed that 3.2 % harbored redundant pbp5 genes, located on chromosomes or plasmids across different species from diverse epidemiological backgrounds. The proteins encoded by these genes showed homologies ranging from 51.1 % to 97.5 % compared to native copies. Phylogenetic analysis grouped redundant PBP5 amino acid sequences into three distinct clades, with insertion sequences (mostly IS6-like) facilitating their recent spread to diverse plasmids with varying genetic backbones. The presence of multiple antibiotic resistance genes on pbp5-plasmids, including those conferring resistance to linezolid, underscores their involvement in co-selection and recombination events with other clinically-relevant antibiotics. Conjugation experiments confirmed the transferability of a specific 24 kb pbp5-plasmid from the Efm57 strain. This plasmid was associated with higher minimum inhibitory concentrations of ampicillin and conferred bacteria growth advantages at 22 °C.

This study demonstrates an approach for water quality monitoring utilizing spectral reflectance and polarization in the visible and near-infrared regions. A line spectrometer with a polarization filter was employed for hyperspectral measurements under simulated wave conditions. Chlorophyll (Chl) and suspended sediment (SS) pollution were simulated using locally sourced products at various concentrations. The contaminant reflectance was computed, and the polarization components were analyzed using the Pickering method and Stokes vectors. Normalization and continuum removal techniques ensured reliable comparisons across the spectra. The spectral angle mapper (SAM) algorithm quantified the similarity between unpolarized wave conditions and total reflectance spectra under calm conditions, while spectral entropy quantified wave effects compared to calm water. The results indicated that the polarized components of Chl and SS reflectance were minimal in calm water but increased under wave conditions, particularly at lower wavelengths. Higher contaminant concentrations exhibited greater spectral similarity, with lower SAM values indicating reduced specular reflections. The raw and normalized unpolarized reflectance spectra displayed characteristic features; however, the reflectance at high concentrations was lower than anticipated, likely due to spectrometer sensitivity and strong water absorption. The degree of Linear Polarization (DoLP) analysis revealed distinct scattering behaviors: Chl exhibited a lower DoLP than SS. Wave conditions enhanced the DoLP due to increased specular reflections.
