... The filter was kept at −80°C until further usage. The total community DNA was extracted according to Hollensteiner et al. (1). Illumina pair-end sequencing libraries were prepared and indexed using the Nextera DNA Flex library preparation kit and the Nextera DNA CD index kit as recommended by the manufacturer (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). ...

... Bracewell et al. (2023) identified similarities in benthic bacterial and eukaryotic communities across the upper catchments of temperate estuaries in eastern Australia, though bacteria appeared to be the most susceptible to immediate environmental changes. Previous research in highly urbanized estuaries like Sydney Harbour suggests that particularly species of bacteria may serve as useful indicators for localised anthropogenic stressors (Birrer et al., 2021). ...

... Because of the RWC limitation in drought-exposed plants, the main biochemical processes like photosynthesis may be restricted, which finally leads to declines in plant growth and development (Afshari et al. 2021). Similar to this work, the reduced RWC under drought stress has been addressed by Mehrasa et al. (2022), Bano et al. (2021), Meißner et al. (2021) on different bean spices. The foliar application of CS-NPs improved stomatal properties and water status in plants, which finally leads to increased photosynthesis rate and growth. ...

... All experiments were conducted under a 12 h light/12 h dark cycle and a constant temperature of 25° C 15,16 . After 2 days of water stabilization and clarification, aquatic animals (shrimp, snails, and fish) were placed in the simulation box for 45 days. ...

... However, single-species tests have limited ability to accurately predict direct and indirect effects on natural microbial populations, and very limited real-world relevance to ecosystemlevel impacts of environmental stressors ( Brandt et al., 2004 ;Guckert, 1996 ). The combination of community-level whole effluent toxicity (WET) testing and environmental genomics moves beyond the scenario of single species toxicity testing and provides the opportunity to determine real-world community interactions, shifts and functional change in response to wastewater pollution ( Ruprecht et al., 2020a ). ...

... Furthermore, most previous studies have solely conducted structural analyses without considering functional aspects, which cannot provide significant insights into the mechanism of gastric carcinogenesis. To elucidate the role of bacteria in the occurrence of GC, concurrent metagenomic functional analyses should yield more revealing results [7]. Therefore, we aimed to characterize the changes in the microbiome during gastric carcinogenesis and assess its predictable functional profiles. ...

... The challenge in investigating the aboveground-belowground interactions in an agroforestry system begins with the multiple components or subsystems that play a major role in determining system functioning. Research on Amazonian forests to date has generally focused on tree-crop interactions (González & Kröger, 2020;Maezumi et al., 2018;Pinho et al., 2011Pinho et al., , 2012Stabile et al., 2020) or plant-animal interactions, and few studies in other tropical regions (Africa, Central America, and Asia) considered the impact of agroforestry practices on soil microorganisms (Liu et al., 2019;Schneider et al., 2015;Wemheuer et al., 2020). To our knowledge, no studies have considered the interaction between above-and belowground in a holistic approach including soil microbiome, the main players in soil nutrient cycling, in AFS and compared these systems with the secondary succession and mature Amazonian rainforests. ...

... The taxonomic and functional composition of fungal communities in leaves can be affected by several biotic and abiotic stressors. For example, fungal pathogens and bacteria can cause the regreening of senescent leaf tissues in Acer, while reducing the overall fungal richness and altering leaf fungal communities [7]. In contrast, fungal endophyte communities are not correlated with pathogenic symptoms in Vanilla or Eucalyptus plants, respectively affected by pathogenic fungi and a wasp [8,9]. ...

... The taxonomic genus Aciduliprofundum was noted to have candidates for classification. The scholars Duya et al. (2020) and Wemheuer et al. (2019) during their studies identified the taxonomic family Nitrosopumilaceae being dominant, which was different during this study as members of the said family had species who were not fully classified. ...

... This suggests that AMF tends to be impacted by plant groups. According to Wemheuer et al. [53], endophytic bacteria also enhance nutrient availability and facilitate nitrogen fixation from the atmosphere, which promotes plant growth and health. ...
