Assessing the balance between ecosystem service supply and demand (ESSD) relationship and identifying its driving factors is essential for addressing ecosystem degradation. While previous local-scale studies have highlighted climate change and human activities as critical influences, their roles at a global scale remain poorly understood. Here, we analyze the global dynamics of supply–demand relationships for four key ecosystem services—food production, carbon sequestration, soil conservation, and water yield—over the period 2000–2020. We find that ESSD relationships generally exhibit spatially high supply-low demand and quantitatively surplus characteristics. Climate change and human activity influence ESSD relationships in dual-directional pathways. Specifically, they positively affect food production and soil conservation in 80.69 % and 72.50 % of global regions respectively; while negatively influencing carbon sequestration and water yield in 76.74 % and 62.44 % of global regions respectively. Human activity primarily shapes the ESSD relationships for food production and carbon sequestration, with mean contribution rates of 66.54 % and 60.80 % respectively; whereas climate change exerts greater control over soil conservation and water yield, with mean contribution rates of 54.62 % and 55.41 % respectively. Our findings clarify the direction (positive or negative), mode (individual or combined), contribution rates, and geographic distribution of these impacts. This research closes a critical gap in understanding global ESSD relationships and provides essential insights to inform sustainable ecosystem management from local to global scales.

评估生态系统服务供需平衡关系并确定其驱动因素是解决生态系统退化问题的关键。虽然以前的局地尺度研究强调了气候变化和人类活动的关键影响，但它们在全球尺度上的作用仍然知之甚少。本文分析了2000-2020年期间四种关键生态系统服务（粮食生产、碳固存、土壤保持和水产量）的全球供需关系动态。研究发现，ESSD关系普遍表现出空间上的高供给-低需求和数量上的过剩特征。气候变化和人类活动对ESSD关系的影响是双向的。其中，对全球80.69%和72.50%的地区的粮食生产和土壤保持具有积极影响；而对全球76.74%和62.44%的区域固碳和产水分别产生负面影响。人类活动主要影响粮食生产和碳固存的ESSD关系，平均贡献率分别为66.54%和60.80%；而气候变化对土壤保持和水分产量的影响更大，平均贡献率分别为54.62%和55.41%。我们的发现阐明了这些影响的方向（积极或消极）、模式（单独或联合）、贡献率和地理分布。这项研究填补了理解全球生态系统可持续发展关系的关键空白，并为从地方到全球范围的可持续生态系统管理提供了重要见解。

Lake ecosystems, vital freshwater resources, are increasingly threatened by pollution from riverine inputs, making the management of these loads critical for preventing ecological degradation. Predicting the combined effects of multiple rivers on lake water quality is a significant challenge; traditional mechanistic models are computationally intensive and data-dependent, while conventional machine learning methods often fail to capture the system's multifaceted nature. This complexity creates a critical need for an integrated predictive tool for effective environmental management. Here we show a multi-task deep neural network (MTDNN) that can accurately and simultaneously predict four key water quality indicators—permanganate index, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, and algal density—at multiple locations within a complex lake system using data from its inflowing rivers. Our model, applied to Dianchi Lake in China, improves predictive precision by up to 56.3 % compared to established mechanistic and single-task deep learning models. Furthermore, the model pinpoints the specific contributions of each river and identifies water temperature and wastewater effluent as dominant, site-specific drivers of pollution. Scenario-based forecasting demonstrates that using reclaimed water for lake replenishment is a viable strategy that does not cause deterioration. This MTDNN framework offers a powerful and transferable tool for data-driven lake management, enabling targeted interventions and sustainable water resource protection.

湖泊生态系统作为重要的淡水资源，正日益受到来自河流输入的污染的威胁，因此管理这些负荷对于防止生态退化至关重要。预测多河流对湖泊水质的综合影响是一个重大挑战；传统的机械模型是计算密集型和数据依赖性的，而传统的机器学习方法往往无法捕捉系统的多面性。这种复杂性使得人们迫切需要一种集成的预测工具来进行有效的环境管理。在这里，我们展示了一个多任务深度神经网络（MTDNN），它可以准确地同时预测四个关键的水质指标——高锰酸盐指数、总磷、总氮和藻类密度——在一个复杂的湖泊系统的多个地点，使用来自其入流河流的数据。我们的模型应用于中国滇池，与已建立的机械和单任务深度学习模型相比，预测精度提高了56.3%。此外，该模型确定了每条河流的具体贡献，并确定水温和废水排放是污染的主要驱动因素。基于场景的预测表明，利用再生水进行湖泊补给是一种可行的策略，不会造成湖泊退化。MTDNN框架为数据驱动的湖泊管理提供了一个强大且可转移的工具，使有针对性的干预和可持续的水资源保护成为可能。

Biomanufacturing of hydrogen by acidogenic fermentation presents a promising avenue for sustainable hydrogen production; however, data on its full-scale application remain limited. Here we evaluate the performance of a 100 m³ continuous-flow stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) utilizing waste molasses and inoculated with aerobic excess sludge for hydrogen production. The reactor operated at 35 °C with a constant hydraulic retention time of 5.8 h, while the organic loading rate (OLR) was incrementally increased from 9.3 to 57.3 kg COD m⁻³ d⁻¹. By day 19, stable ethanol-type fermentation was established, yielding an average of 265 m³ of hydrogen per day. Over the subsequent 72 days, the reactor maintained continuous operation, achieving an average hydrogen production rate of 282 m³ d⁻¹ at an average OLR of 28.5 kg COD m⁻³ d⁻¹. Bioaugmentation with Ethanoligenens harbinense YUAN-3 at a 0.5 % volume fraction relative to the mixed liquor volatile suspended solids further enhanced hydrogen production to an average of 348 m³ d⁻¹. Despite fluctuations in the OLR between 17.1 and 55.2 kg COD m⁻³ d⁻¹, ethanol-type fermentation persisted throughout the bioaugmentation period. These findings demonstrate the viability of full-scale acidogenic fermentation for efficient hydrogen biomanufacturing from high-strength organic wastewater.

产酸发酵生物制氢是一种很有前途的可持续制氢途径；然而，关于其全面应用的数据仍然有限。在这里，我们评估了一个100立方米的连续流搅拌槽反应器（CSTR）的性能，该反应器利用废糖蜜并接种好氧剩余污泥用于制氢。反应器运行温度为35℃，水力停留时间为5.8 h，有机负载率（OLR）由9.3 kg COD m−3 d−1逐步提高到57.3 kg COD m−3 d−1。到第19天，建立了稳定的乙醇型发酵，平均每天产生265 m3的氢气。在随后的72天里，反应器保持连续运行，平均产氢率为282 m3 d - 1，平均OLR为28.5 kg COD m - 3 d - 1。以相对于混合液挥发性悬浮物的0.5%体积分数添加乙醇寡聚烯habinense YUAN-3，进一步提高了产氢量，平均达到348 m3 d - 1。尽管OLR在17.1和55.2 kg COD m - 3 d - 1之间波动，但乙醇型发酵在整个生物增强期持续存在。这些发现证明了大规模产酸发酵从高强度有机废水中高效制氢的可行性。

Class 1 integrons facilitate horizontal gene transfer, significantly influencing antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) dissemination within microbial communities. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are critical reservoirs of ARGs and integrons, yet the integron-mediated dynamics of ARG transfer across different WWTP types remain poorly understood. Here we show distinct ARG profiles associated with class 1 integrons in municipal and industrial WWTPs using a novel approach combining nested-like high-throughput qPCR and PacBio sequencing. Although industrial WWTPs contained higher absolute integron abundances, their relative ARG content was lower (1.27 × 10⁷–9.59 × 10⁷ copies/ng integron) compared to municipal WWTPs (3.72 × 10⁷–1.98 × 10⁸ copies/ng integron). Of the 132,084 coding sequences detected from integrons, 56.8 % encoded antibiotic resistance, with industrial plants showing lower ARG proportions, reduced ARG array diversity, and greater incorporation of non-ARG sequences. These findings suggest industrial WWTP integrons integrate a broader array of exogenous genes, reflecting adaptation to complex wastewater compositions. This work enhances our understanding of integron-driven ARG dynamics in wastewater and offers a robust strategy for environmental integron analysis.

1类整合子促进水平基因转移，显著影响抗生素耐药基因（ARG）在微生物群落中的传播。污水处理厂（WWTPs）是ARG和整合子的关键储存库，然而整合子介导的ARG在不同类型污水处理厂之间转移的动力学尚不清楚。在这里，我们使用一种结合嵌套式高通量qPCR和PacBio测序的新方法，在市政和工业污水处理厂中显示了与1类整合子相关的不同ARG谱。虽然工业污水处理厂的绝对整合子丰度较高，但其相对ARG含量（1.27 × 107 - 9.59 × 107拷贝/ng整合子）低于市政污水处理厂（3.72 × 107 - 1.98 × 108拷贝/ng整合子）。在从整合子中检测到的132,084个编码序列中，56.8%编码了抗生素耐药性，工业植物显示出较低的ARG比例，降低了ARG阵列多样性，并且更多地结合了非ARG序列。这些发现表明工业污水处理整合子整合了更广泛的外源基因，反映了对复杂废水成分的适应。这项工作增强了我们对废水中整合子驱动的ARG动力学的理解，并为环境整合子分析提供了一个强大的策略。

Activated carbons (ACs) are widely used in advanced wastewater treatment to remove organic micropollutants (OMPs), including pharmaceuticals, that evade conventional biological processes. Yet, fossil coal-based ACs generate substantial CO₂ emissions and conflict with circular-bioeconomy objectives. Here, we address the critical research gap in sustainable sorbent development by evaluating biogenic ACs produced from underutilized grassland biomass. Using a pretreatment to enrich carbon content and reduce minerals, we generated biogenic ACs from wet meadow (WET) and orchard meadow residues and compared them to Norit SAE Super and PULSORB WP 235 in batch adsorption tests. Despite its higher mineral and ash contents and lower specific surface area than conventional ACs, 100 %-activated WET (WET100) combined balanced micro- and mesoporosity—yielding heterogeneous adsorption sites that conform to Freundlich isotherms—and achieved 50 % OMP removal at a dosage of ∼13 mg L⁻¹, on par with Norit SAE Super (∼12 mg L⁻¹). Strong correlations between OMP removal and ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm (UVA254; R² > 0.95) validate UVA254 as a rapid monitoring proxy. Greenhouse gas footprint analyses revealed that substituting coal-based AC with WET100 reduces gate-to-grave emissions by approximately 2.4 t CO₂e per tonne of sorbent—translating to potential savings of up to 94 % CO₂e when deployed at scale for advanced OMP removal. These findings underscore that biogenic ACs can be seamlessly integrated into existing treatment infrastructure, valorize underutilized grassland biomass, align with circular-economy and EU sustainability objectives, and deliver substantial greenhouse-gas savings compared to coal-based adsorbents.

活性炭（ACs）广泛应用于废水深度处理中，以去除逃避常规生物处理的有机微污染物（OMPs），包括药物。然而，以化石煤为基础的ac产生了大量的二氧化碳排放，与循环生物经济目标相冲突。在这里，我们通过评估未充分利用的草地生物量产生的生物源ac来解决可持续吸附剂开发的关键研究空白。采用预处理富集碳、减少矿物质的方法，从湿草甸（wet）和果园草甸的残留物中生成生物源ACs，并将其与Norit SAE Super和PULSORB WP 235进行批量吸附试验。尽管其矿物和灰分含量较高，比表面积较低，但100%活化的湿法（WET100）结合了平衡的微孔和介孔产生的非均相吸附位点，符合Freundlich等温线，并且在剂量为~ 13 mg L−1时达到50%的OMP去除率，与Norit SAE Super （~ 12 mg L−1）相当。OMP去除率与254 nm （UVA254）紫外吸光度的强相关性R2的在0.95)验证UVA254作为快速监测代理。温室气体足迹分析显示，用we100代替煤基AC，每吨吸附剂可减少约2.4吨二氧化碳当量的排放，当大规模部署用于先进的OMP去除时，可节省高达94%的二氧化碳当量。这些研究结果强调，生物源活性炭可以无缝集成到现有的处理基础设施中，使未充分利用的草地生物量稳定下来，符合循环经济和欧盟的可持续发展目标，与煤基吸附剂相比，可以节省大量温室气体。

Organic pollutants remain a persistent threat to ecosystems and human health. In soils, humification gradually converts these compounds into stable humic substances and attenuates their toxicity, but the transformation can take decades—far too slow to match current pollution loads. In this Perspective, we argue that mature compost offers a pragmatic means to accelerate this process: it delivers partially humified intermediates that can “seed” soil humification and shorten its timescale from decades to seasons. Spectroscopic evidence shows that compost-derived humus is enriched in aromatic backbones and reactive functional groups (–COOH, –OH) that both catalyze further condensation of organic matter and immobilise pollutants through π–π stacking, hydrogen bonding and covalent coupling. By merging these catalytic and sorptive functions, compost amendments provide a scalable, low-cost route to the long-term stabilization of organic contaminants.

有机污染物仍然是对生态系统和人类健康的持续威胁。在土壤中，腐殖质作用逐渐将这些化合物转化为稳定的腐殖质物质，并减弱它们的毒性，但这种转化可能需要几十年的时间——与目前的污染负荷相比，太慢了。从这个角度来看，我们认为成熟的堆肥提供了一种加速这一过程的实用手段：它提供了部分腐殖质的中间体，可以“播种”土壤腐殖质化，并将其时间尺度从几十年缩短到一个季节。光谱证据表明，堆肥衍生的腐殖质富含芳香骨架和活性官能团（-COOH, -OH），它们通过π -π堆积、氢键和共价偶联催化有机物的进一步缩聚，并固定污染物。通过合并这些催化和吸附功能，堆肥修正为有机污染物的长期稳定提供了一种可扩展的、低成本的途径。我们概述了目前需要解决的关键机制问题，特别是特定中间体在现场的反应性，以指导现场试验，并释放堆肥驱动的加速腐殖化作为环境修复平台的全部潜力。

Antibiotics are increasingly prevalent in global environments, driving antimicrobial resistance and disrupting microbial cycling. These impacts pose threats to human, animal, and environmental health. Therefore, addressing this emergent issue necessitates a One Health framework that integrates these interconnected dimensions. Here we systematically review 137 antibiotics across diverse global environmental compartments. We find that sulfonamides, macrolides, quinolones, and tetracyclines are globally ubiquitous, particularly prevalent in Asia and Africa, whereas β-lactams dominates in Europe. Hierarchical clustering revealed ten priority antibiotics in liquid phases and eight in solid phases requiring urgent attention. Regional analysis indicated the highest antibiotic concentrations within wastewater treatment plant liquids in the Americas and surface waters in Africa, with generally lower levels detected in Asia and Europe. Utilizing a One Health assessment framework, we integrated Predicted No-Effect Concentrations for antibiotic resistance selection (PNEC_RS) relevant to human and animal health with Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) affecting microbial nitrogen cycling processes. Risk assessment highlighted wastewater treatment plant liquids (20 % average exceedance) and animal manure (44 % average exceedance) as the most critical compartments. Africa exhibited the highest overall risk, averaging a 53 % exceedance rate. Notably, ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin in liquid phases, as well as enrofloxacin and norfloxacin in solid phases, emerged as antibiotics posing significant One Health risks. This study advances our understanding of antibiotic distribution globally, offering a foundation for targeted interventions to mitigate antibiotic-related risks across human, animal, and environmental health sectors.

抗生素在全球环境中日益普遍，推动了抗菌素耐药性并破坏了微生物循环。这些影响对人类、动物和环境健康构成威胁。因此，解决这一紧急问题需要一个统一健康框架，该框架集成了这些相互关联的方面。在这里，我们系统地回顾了137种抗生素在不同的全球环境隔间。我们发现磺胺类药物、大环内酯类药物、喹诺酮类药物和四环素类药物在全球普遍存在，尤其是在亚洲和非洲，而β-内酰胺类药物在欧洲占主导地位。分层聚类揭示了10种优先的液相抗生素和8种迫切需要关注的固相抗生素。区域分析表明，美洲和非洲地表水的废水处理厂液体中抗生素浓度最高，亚洲和欧洲检测到的水平普遍较低。利用One Health评估框架，我们整合了与人类和动物健康相关的抗生素耐药性选择的预测无效应浓度（PNECRS）和影响微生物氮循环过程的最低抑制浓度（mic）。风险评估强调废水处理厂液体（平均超标20%）和动物粪便（平均超标44%）是最关键的隔间。非洲的总体风险最高，平均超过53%。值得注意的是，液相的环丙沙星和氧氟沙星，以及固相的恩诺沙星和诺氟沙星，成为对健康构成重大威胁的抗生素。这项研究促进了我们对抗生素全球分布的理解，为有针对性的干预措施提供了基础，以减轻人类、动物和环境卫生部门的抗生素相关风险。

Microbial aggregates of different sizes in aerobic granular sludge (AGS) systems have been shown to exhibit distinct microbial community compositions. However, studies comparing the microbial activities of different-sized aggregates in AGS systems remain limited. In this study, genome-resolved metatranscriptomics was used to investigate microbial activity patterns within differently sized aggregates in a full-scale AGS plant. Our analysis revealed a weak correlation between the relative abundance of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) and their transcriptomic activity, indicating that microbial abundance does not directly correspond to metabolic activity within the system. Flocculent sludge (FL; <0.2 mm) predominantly featured active nitrifiers and fermentative polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) from Candidatus Phosphoribacter, while small granules (SG; 0.2–1.0 mm) and large granules (LG; >1.0 mm) hosted more metabolically active PAOs affiliated with Ca. Accumulibacter. Differential gene expression analysis further supported these findings, demonstrating significantly higher expression levels of key phosphorus uptake genes associated with Ca. Accumulibacter in granular sludge (SG and LG) compared to flocculent sludge. Conversely, Ca. Phosphoribacter showed higher expression of these genes in the FL fraction. This study highlights distinct functional roles and metabolic activities of crucial microbial communities depending on aggregate size within AGS systems, offering new insights into optimizing wastewater treatment processes.

在好氧颗粒污泥（AGS）系统中，不同大小的微生物聚集体显示出不同的微生物群落组成。然而，比较AGS系统中不同粒径团聚体微生物活性的研究仍然有限。在这项研究中，基因组解析亚转录组学被用于研究全尺寸AGS植物中不同大小聚集体内的微生物活动模式。我们的分析显示，宏基因组组装基因组（MAGs）的相对丰度与其转录组活性之间存在弱相关性，这表明微生物丰度并不直接对应于系统内的代谢活性。絮凝污泥；0.2 mm)主要是活性硝化菌和来自Candidatus Phosphoribacter的发酵性聚磷微生物（PAOs），而小颗粒(SG；0.2-1.0 mm)和大颗粒(LG；>1.0 mm)含有更多与积累杆菌相关的代谢活性PAOs。差异基因表达分析进一步支持了这些发现，表明与絮凝污泥相比，颗粒污泥（SG和LG）中与Ca. Accumulibacter相关的关键磷吸收基因的表达水平显著更高。相反，Ca. Phosphoribacter在FL片段中表现出较高的这些基因表达。这项研究强调了AGS系统中关键微生物群落的不同功能作用和代谢活动，这取决于它们的聚集大小，为优化废水处理工艺提供了新的见解。
