Agricultural soils are increasingly contaminated with microplastics (MPs) and antimicrobial agents, yet the interplay between these pollutants and their effects on soil health, plant growth and development, and microbial communities remains underexplored. Here we investigated the influence of polyamide (PA) microplastics and three prevalent antimicrobials: sulfamethoxazole (SMX), ciprofloxacin (CIP), and triclosan (TCS) on ric...

Wetlands cover a small portion of the world, but have disproportionate influence on global carbon (C) sequestration, carbon dioxide and methane emissions, and aquatic C fluxes. However, the underlying biogeochemical processes that affect wetland C pools and fluxes are complex and dynamic, making measurements of wetland C challenging. Over decades of research, many observational, experimental, and analytical approaches have bee...

The projected increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events due to climate change means an associated increase in risk of heat‐related illnesses and mortality. Public health systems need to be prepared to identify and reduce the susceptibility of vulnerable populations to increased occurrence of heat‐related illness and stress. To facilitate this, climate services have begun developing climate change projectio...

Torrential rain and extreme flooding caused by Atlantic hurricanes mobilize a large pool of organic matter (OM) from coastal forested watersheds in the southeastern United States. However, the mobilization of toxic metals such as mercury (Hg) that are associated with this vast pool of OM are rarely measured. This study aims to assess the variations of total Hg (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) levels and the isotopic compositions...
