AI Article Synopsis
- A hydroponic system was set up to study how four aquatic plants respond to three different veterinary antibiotics, assessing their growth, ability to remove antibiotics, and underlying mechanisms.
- At antibiotic concentrations up to 100 μg·L, plant growth improved, but levels above that stunted growth; specific plants were identified for their effectiveness in removing antibiotics like norfloxacin, sulfadimethoxine, and chlortetracycline.
- Antibiotic accumulation in plants was highest in the roots, and as antibiotic levels increased, the diversity of microorganisms in the plant roots decreased, indicating a complex interaction between plant uptake and microbial community dynamics that aids in antibiotic removal.
Article Abstract
Four aquatic landscape plants and three veterinary antibiotics were selected to construct a hydroponic test system to analyze the tolerance, removal effect and mechanism of antibiotics. The results indicated that antibiotic concentrations from 0 to 100 μg·L promoted plant heights and leaf chlorophyll contents, while antibiotics at concentrations > 100 μg·L had inhibitory effects. The ability of different plants to remove antibiotics was L. > L. > Fraser > (Timm) DC. The plants with the best removal of norfloxacin, sulfadimethoxine and chlortetracycline were L., L. and L. after 12 d of hydroponic cultivation using 100 μg·L antibiotics, with removal rates of 66.6%, 63.0% and 63.2%, respectively. The accumulation of antibiotics in different plant tissues was root > stem > leaf and the accumulation increased with incubation time. The diversity of plant root biofilm microorganisms decreased with increasing treatment concentrations of antibiotics, while the abundance of dominant genera (, , , , and ) showed an increasing trend. The findings imply that the antibiotic uptake by plants and the dynamics of the rhizosphere microbial community combine to promote antibiotic removal.

Article Synopsis
- The Chironomidae family, consisting of over 7,300 species, is a highly diverse group of insects found in freshwater ecosystems globally, with documentation varying greatly across Europe.
- This study enhances the understanding of chironomid fauna in three catchments in Croatia, Hungary, and Czechia, identifying 207 taxa, including 14 species new to Croatia and two to Czechia.
- Techniques like DNA barcoding revealed 23 new genetic groups, emphasizing the importance of focused field studies on challenging taxa to improve both local and global knowledge of these insects.

Unlabelled: Glacier-fed streams are permanently cold, ultra-oligotrophic, and physically unstable environments, yet microbial life thrives in benthic biofilm communities. Within biofilms, microorganisms rely on secondary metabolites for communication and competition. However, the diversity and genetic potential of secondary metabolites in glacier-fed stream biofilms remain poorly understood.

Ecosystems globally have reached critical tipping points because of climate change, urbanization, unsustainable resource consumption, and pollution. In response, international agreements have set targets for conserving 30% of global ecosystems and restoring 30% of degraded lands and waters by 2030 (30×30). In 2021, the United States set a target to jointly conserve and restore 30% of US lands and waters by 2030, with a specific goal to restore coastal ecosystems, namely wetlands, seagrasses, coral and oyster reefs, and mangrove and kelp forests, to increase resilience to climate change.

Seabirds are particularly susceptible to potentially toxic elements (PTEs) due to the tendency of biomagnification of some elements, thus serving as potential bioindicators for assessing environmental health. In this study, we analyzed As, Cd, Cu and Zn concentrations in liver samples from nine seabird species (51 specimens) collected along the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean. Results revealed substantial variations in PTE concentrations among species, with taxonomic orders influencing accumulation patterns.

Plants play a key role in the ecological restoration of urban wetlands. Previous studies have shown that heavy-metal accumulation capacities and adaptation strategies of wetland plants may be related to their life forms. In this study, pot experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of nitrogen (N) on the adaptation strategies of two evergreen and deciduous aquatic iris life forms under cadmium (Cd) stress.
