Our global survey and high-resolution local survey revealed that socio-economic development substantially influences the diversity of soil-borne animal pathogens, among which Trichosporon is a key indicator species. Our findings highlight the importance of human activities in shaping the pathogenic microbiome of cities and the potential implications for human health.
Deploying carbon dioxide removal options at the urban scale could not only make a substantial contribution to the global mitigation of climate change but could also have large potential mitigation and adaptation co-benefits. However, upscaling at the global scale is constrained by numerous uncertainties, economic barriers and governance issues.
This study unveils the driving forces behind changes in racial segregation in the USA from 1990–2020 by linking it to population shifts in specific racial groups. We developed a decomposition method to illuminate the specific contributions of residential mobility and other demographic dynamics of each population group to urban segregation.
