Retaining natural vegetation to safeguard biodiversity and humanity

Global efforts to deliver internationally agreed goals to reduce carbon emissions, halt biodiversity loss, and retain essential ecosystem services have been poorly integrated. These goals rely in part on preserving natural (e.g., native, largely unmodified) and seminatural (e.g., low intensity or sustainable human use) forests, woodlands, and grasslands. To show how to unify these goals, we empirically derived spatially explicit, quantitative, area-based targets for the retention of natural and seminatural (e.g., native) terrestrial vegetation worldwide. We used a 250-m-resolution map of natural and seminatural vegetation cover and, from this, selected areas identified under different international agreements as being important for achieving global biodiversity, carbon, soil, and water targets. At least 67 million km² of Earth's terrestrial vegetation (∼79% of the area of vegetation remaining) required retention to contribute to biodiversity, climate, soil, and freshwater conservation objectives under 4 United Nations’ resolutions. This equates to retaining natural and seminatural vegetation across at least 50% of the total terrestrial (excluding Antarctica) surface of Earth. Retention efforts could contribute to multiple goals simultaneously, especially where natural and seminatural vegetation can be managed to achieve cobenefits for biodiversity, carbon storage, and ecosystem service provision. Such management can and should co-occur and be driven by people who live in and rely on places where natural and sustainably managed vegetation remains in situ and must be complemented by restoration and appropriate management of more human-modified environments if global goals are to be realized.     

Impacts of backwashing on micropollutant removal and associated microbial assembly processes in sand filters

● Backwashing in sand filters with 2-h and 4-h EBCTs was simulated. ● Removal efficiency of five micropollutants recovered within 2 d at 2-h EBCT. ● Active biomass of sand filters recovered within 2 d under two EBCTs. ● Microbial composition gradually recovered to pre-backwashing level at 2-h EBCT. ● Recovered microbes only accounted for 15.55 %–25.69 % in the sand filters at 4-h EBCT. Backwashing is crucial for preventing clogging of sand filters. However, few studies have investigated the effect of backwashing on micropollutant removal and the dynamic changes in the microbial community in sand filters. Here, we used a series of manganese and quartz sand filters under empty bed contact times (EBCTs) of 2 h and 4 h to explore variations in micropollutant degradation and temporal dynamics of the microbial community after backwashing. The results showed that the removal efficiencies of caffeine, sulfamethoxazole, sulfadiazine, trimethoprim, atrazine, and active biomass recovered within 2 d after backwashing in both types of sand filters at 2-h EBCT, but the recovery of sulfadiazine and trimethoprim was not observed at 4-h EBCT. Moreover, the removal efficiency of atenolol increased after backwashing in the manganese sand filters, whereas maintained almost complete removal efficiency in the quartz sand filters at both EBCTs. Pearson correlation analysis indicated that microbial community composition gradually recovered to the pre-backwashing level (R increased from 0.53 to 0.97) at 2-h EBCT, but shifted at 4-h EBCT (R < 0.25) after backwashing. Furthermore, the compositions of the recovered, depleted, and improved groups of microbes were distinguished by applying hierarchical clustering to the differentially abundant amplicon sequence variants. The cumulative relative abundance of recovered microbes at 2-h EBCT was 82.76 % ± 0.43 % and 46.82 % ± 4.34 % in the manganese and quartz sand filters, respectively. In contrast, at 4-h EBCT, the recovered microbes dropped to 15.55 %–25.69 % in both types of sand filters.     

Enhancement of extracellular Cr(VI) reduction for anammox recovery using hydrazine: performance,pathways, and mechanism

● N₂H₄ addition enhanced and recovered anammox performance under Cr(VI) stress. ● N₂H₄ accelerated electron transfer of Cr(VI) reduction for detoxification. ● N₂H₄ enhanced anammox metabolism for activity recovery from Cr(VI) inhibition. ● Extracellular Cr(VI) reduction to less toxic Cr(III) was the dominant mechanism. The hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) would frequently impose inhibition to anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process, hindering the efficiency of nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment. Hydrazine (N₂H₄), which is an intermediate product of anammox, participates in intracellular metabolism and extracellular Cr(VI) reduction. However, the roles of N₂H₄-induced intracellular metabolism and extracellular reduction in nitrogen removal under Cr(VI) stress remain unclear. The addition of 3.67 mg/L of N₂H₄ increased the anammox activity by 17%. As an intermediate, N₂H₄ enhanced anammox metabolism by increasing the heme c content and electron transfer system activity. As a reductant, N₂H₄ accelerated the reduction of c-Cyts-mediated extracellular Cr(VI) to the less toxic Cr(III). Extracellular Cr(III) accounts for 74% of the total Cr in a Cr(VI)-stressed anammox consortia. These findings highlight that N₂H₄-induced extracellular Cr(VI) reduction is the dominant mechanism for the survival of anammox consortia. We also found that N₂H₄ increased the production of extracellular polymeric substances to sequester excessive Cr(VI) and produced Cr(III). Taken together, the study findings suggest a potential strategy for enhancing nitrogen removal from ammonium-rich wastewater contaminated with Cr(VI).

Efficacy of forming biofilms by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pseudomonas migulae</Emphasis> AN-1 toward in situ bioremediation of aniline-contaminated aquifer by groundwater circulation wells

The formation and activity of aniline-degrading biofilms developed by the psychrotrophic Pseudomonas migulae AN-1 were studied for the in situ remediation of contaminated aquifer using in-well bioreactor of groundwater circulating wells (GCWs). Biofilms grown in mineral salt medium with aniline exhibited tolerance to high concentrations of aniline. In aniline degradation rate, AN-1 biofilms exhibited slight differences compared with planktonic cells. The effectiveness and bio-implication of AN-1 biofilms in GCWs were investigated to treat aniline-contaminated aquifer. The results demonstrate that AN-1 biofilms survived the GCWs treatment process with high aniline-degrading efficiency. This system provides a novel environmentally friendly technology for the in situ bioremediation of low-volatile contaminants.     

Lactate oxidation in pyrite suspension: a Fenton-like process in situ generating H2O2

Pyrite is a common mineral at many mining sites. In this study, the mineral pyrite was studied as a Fenton-like reagent for environmental concerns. We selected lactate as a model target molecule to evaluate the Fenton-like catalytic efficiency of pyrite upon organic oxidation. A complete set of control experiments in both aerobic and anaerobic atmospheres unequivocally established that the pyrite in aqueous solution could spontaneously in situ generate OH and H₂O₂, serving as a Fenton-like reagent to catalyze the oxidation of lactate to pyruvate with no need for additional H₂O₂. We called it the pyrite-only Fenton-like (PF) reagent. Monitoring concentration changes of lactate and pyruvate with the time indicated that the pyrite mediated the favorable pyruvate formation at pH 4.5, 60 °C, under air atmosphere. The PF reaction could be stimulated by visible light illumination. Under the optimum conditions, up to 50% of lactate was degraded within 10 d. The results suggest that pyrite and its Fenton-like processes may be potentially practical in wastewater treatment.
