Environmental fluctuations like alternating dry-wet (DW) and freeze-thaw (FT) events significantly affect the long-term stability of arsenic (As) immobilized by iron‑based materials in soils. However, achieving stable As immobilization under these fluctuating conditions remains a major challenge. Herein, we develop a resilient chrysotile-based Fe/Ti (TiFe-Chy) nanomaterial for As immobilization in soils under environmental fluctuations. Results show that FT cycling has a negligible effect on As immobilization by TiFe‑Chy, while DW alternation leads to a slight decline. Following 150 days of incubation, the long-term As immobilization rate of TiFe-Chy was higher than that of commercial layered double hydroxide under the DW and FT scenarios, respectively. Sequential extraction analysis indicates that TiFe‑Chy promotes the transformation of non-specifically and specifically adsorbed As into a more stable Fe oxide bound As fraction through complexation with its surface -OH groups, markedly reducing the risk of As re-release to groundwater. Notably, solid phase characterization confirms that the FT processes do not alter the chemical properties of the TiFe‑Chy. Moreover, the high crystallinity and structural stability of TiFe‑Chy effectively suppressed microbially mediated iron reductive dissolution under DW scenario, with a 98% reduction compared to ferrihydrite, thereby enhancing its long-term As immobilization. These findings offer valuable insights into the design of resilient iron-based materials for sustainable heavy metal remediation in soils under environmental fluctuations.

Global change ecology demands predictive models that reconcile data-driven learning with mechanistic theory to address complex, interconnected ecosystem challenges. Traditional process-based approaches struggle with spatiotemporal parameterization, while purely data-driven machine learning approaches suffer from extrapolation, interpretability, and physical consistency. Knowledge-guided machine learning (KGML) bridges this divide by systematically integrating ecological principles (e.g., physical first principles, stoichiometry, process understanding, disturbance regimes) into how models are designed, trained, and adjusted to generalize across different ecosystems. The emerging KGML paradigm offers tremendous opportunities to advance the research of global change ecology. This review synthesizes KGML's transformative potential, showcasing its capacity to enhance the prediction of carbon-water-nutrient cycles and other ecological processes and lay groundwork for ecological foundation models. Emerging applications in decision support and symbolic regression further illustrate its role in deriving actionable insights and novel theoretical hypotheses. Future directions emphasize adaptive integration of data and knowledge, uncertainty quantification, causal embedding in foundation models, and interdisciplinary collaboration to align KGML innovations with sustainability goals. By uniting ecological theory with AI advances, KGML offers a robust pathway to encompass ecosystem responses to global change, fostering scientific discovery and actionable solutions.

Cadmium (Cd) soil contamination poses a particularly acute threat to public health. While synthetic zeolites have shown promise in immobilizing Cd, their widespread application is hindered by high material costs, energy-intensive synthesis, and reliance on high-pressure reactors. To date, no study has reported the successful transformation of natural kaolinite-rich soil into sodalite zeolite under normal pressure conditions. This study bridges that critical gap by developing a novel, low-cost, and energy-efficient route to synthesize sodalite from kaolinite-rich soil using only a household electric cooker at ambient pressure. Superior to the conventional high-pressure hydrothermal route, it offers significant advantages in terms of material costs, equipment expenses, synthesis efficiency, and energy consumption. Remarkably, this soil-derived sodalite demonstrates exceptional Cd-contaminated soil remediation efficacy. With only 0.3 % sodalite additions (w/w), the proportion of exchangeable Cd species in the soil decreases from 43.2 % to 22.6 %, converting into Fe-Mn oxide-bound and residual forms, effectively diminishing Cd's mobility. Mechanistic investigations reveal that Cd2+ is primarily locked into the framework of sodalite through ion exchange reactions and partially captured on the surface via chemisorption effects. In the state of Cd adsorption saturation, the contribution ratios of ion exchange and chemisorption by sodalite are approximately 78.7% and 21.3%, respectively. Overall, this study develops an innovative normal-pressure sodalite synthesis route using natural soil and further reveals the huge potential of soil resources for zeolite synthesis and contaminated soil remediation.

The co-occurrence of microplastics and heavy metals, particularly cadmium (Cd), in terrestrial ecosystems poses a growing ecological risk, yet their combined effects on plant community functioning remain unclear. We conducted a full-factorial mesocosm experiment with four polypropylene microplastic levels (0, 0.1%, 0.5%, and 1% w/w) and two Cd treatments (0 and 10 mg·kg⁻¹) to assess species-specific and community-level responses. Measurements of soil properties, community composition, root traits, and productivity revealed that microplastic-Cd co-exposure consistently reduced community productivity, primarily through suppression of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) plant dominance. Root trait analyses indicated diminished intrinsic nutrient acquisition capacity, leading to greater dependence on AM symbiosis and narrowing the Levins’ ecological niche breadth of AM-associated species. Structural equation modeling identified community mycorrhization as the key mediator of productivity loss, while random forest analysis ranked the mycorrhizal index (determined by community-level mycorrhization) as the strongest predictor. Altered soil C:N:P stoichiometry and ionic conditions further emerged as critical environmental drivers constraining AM plants under co-exposure. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that microplastic-Cd interactions destabilize plant–soil symbioses and weaken community productivity by undermining AM plant dominance, underscoring the vulnerability of AM-dominated communities and the importance of integrating symbiotic strategies into ecological risk assessments.

Ethylene production processes using alternative carbon sources like biomass or CO2 could have great potential for the olefins industry. Comparing the benefits and pitfalls of different process routes is challenging due to the vastly different feedstocks and key conversion technologies involved. Here, we performed an ex-ante techno-economic and environmental assessment to explore potential trade-offs of three low technology readiness level ethylene production processes. The three routes were: 1) biobased syngas fermentation to ethanol followed by ethanol dehydration, 2) direct electrochemical conversion of CO2, and 3) indirect CO2 and H2O electrolysis to form syngas followed by a Fischer-Tropsch step. This study found three main takeaways. Firstly, the biobased route significantly outperforms the direct and indirect routes in terms of techno-economic and carbon footprint performance. Secondly, the electrolyzer unit is the main factor limiting the techno-economic performance of the direct and indirect cases, reemphasizing the need for continued technological advancements and cost reductions by researchers in this domain. Finally, the indirect plant design, incorporating two electrolyzers and a Fischer-Tropsch step, is not techno-economically feasible for ethylene production, underscoring the need for further research on Fischer-Tropsch plant designs to advance the replacement of traditional fossil-based refineries.

The concurrent presence of antibiotics and microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environments poses a significant treatment challenge, as conventional approaches largely adhere to a “remove-and-dispose” framework. Herein, we present a sustainable strategy that repurposes iron by-products from Fenton reactions to create functional coordination centers for managing MPs. The newly developed Alginate-Fenton Smart Sequestration (AFSS) system utilizes in-situ generated Fe3+, which is usually considered waste from Fenton process, to cross-link sodium alginate and form a 3D network for effective encapsulation of MPs without the need for additional chemicals. The incorporated reversibility, achieved through biocompatible ascorbic acid, enables the controlled release of MPs, with recovery efficiencies reaching 86% under ambient conditions. The AFSS system demonstrated consistent performance in diverse environmental waters, efficiently degrading antibiotic and maintaining the removal of multiple types of MPs at over 97%. This work establishes a sustainable approach in which residual iron is transformed into a reusable resource for capturing and recovering MPs, thereby advancing water treatment towards circular resource management.
