abstract = {Antimicrobial resistance represents a major global health challenge, highlighting the urgent need for alternative bioactive compounds from natural sources. This study investigated the phytochemical composition and antimicrobial potential of saponin-enriched extracts from the trunk bark of Argania spinosa (L.) Skeels, collected from two contrasting Algerian regions: the coastal area of Stidia (ES) and the Saharan region of Tindouf (ET). Extraction yields were comparable (approximately 12.6%). UHPLC-MS analysis revealed distinct phytochemical profiles, with ES enriched in oleanane-type saponins and flavonoids, whereas ET showed a higher abundance of bayogenin-type derivatives. Key compounds included arganine C, E, and J, as well as catechin and quercetin. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated using agar well diffusion and broth microdilution assays against clinically relevant microorganisms, including the reference strains Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria innocua, together with Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia marcescens, Proteus mirabilis, and Candida albicans. Both extracts exhibited broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, although ES consistently showed lower Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal, Fungicidal Concentration (MBC)/(MFC) values than ET. MIC values ranged from 25 to 50 mg/mL for ES and from 50 to 100 mg/mL for ET. Synergistic interactions were observed between ES and gentamicin against S. aureus and between both extracts and kanamycin against K. pneumoniae. Membrane permeability assays demonstrated that both extracts increased bacterial membrane permeability, with ET producing a stronger permeabilizing effect. Atomic force microscopy of ES-treated cells revealed marked alterations in bacterial surface morphology, while molecular docking supported strong interactions of mi-saponin B and arganine derivatives with key bacterial targets. Collectively, these findings highlight the potential of A. spinosa bark saponins as natural antimicrobial agents and promising antibiotic adjuvants against multidrug-resistant pathogens. © 2026 by the authors.},

abstract = {Strigolactones are plant hormones that regulate diverse developmental processes and stress responses, but their potential role in epigenetic regulation remains poorly understood. Previous transcriptomic analyses of strigolactone mutants in various species revealed extensive transcriptional reprogramming, suggesting destabilisation of higher-order regulatory mechanisms rather than changes in discrete gene networks. Here, we investigated whether disruption in strigolactone biosynthesis or perception is associated with altered DNA methylation patterns. Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing was performed on 7-day-old seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type and the strigolactone biosynthesis mutant max3 and the perception mutant d14. A comparative analysis identified differentially methylated regions in CG, CHG, and CHH sequence contexts. While CG methylation changes showed no directional bias, non-CG contexts exhibited a pronounced enrichment of hypermethylated regions in both mutants, with the strongest effect observed in the CHH context. CHH hypermethylation was preferentially enriched at promoter-associated regions, primarily overlapping non-coding and pseudogene loci and showed substantial overlap between max3 and d14, indicating a shared epigenetic response in both mutants. Gene-body-associated regions displayed a similar but weaker pattern. These results demonstrate that impairment of the strigolactone pathway is consistently associated with selective CHH hypermethylation rather than global methylation changes. Because CHH methylation in plants is commonly associated with RNA-directed DNA methylation, the observed pattern is consistent with altered RdDM-associated regulation; however, direct involvement of the RdDM machinery remains to be established. This study provides a genome-wide framework for exploring how strigolactones may be associated with epigenetic regulation in plants. © The Author(s) 2026.},

abstract = {Tartary buckwheat is a nutritionally important crop of the Himalayas and is crucial for local economies and food security. However, key genes and superior alleles for high-altitude adaptability and yield remain poorly defined, constraining the breeding of high-altitude buckwheat varieties. Here, we generated a telomere-to-telomere reference genome and a 16-accession pangenome spanning Himalayan wild populations and globally distributed landraces. We identified 123,131 non-redundant structural variations in 16 accessions, including gene copy-number variations. The graph-based pangenome revealed FtRNH , a wild-specific gene that enhances high-altitude adaptability. We also identified a copy-number variation at the FtPLATZ locus and a 28-bp insertion in the FtPLATZ3 promoter that together contribute to seed-size variation across wild buckwheat and landraces. Leveraging these superior FtRNH and FtPLATZ alleles, we developed buckwheat lines with enhanced high-altitude adaptability and improved yields across sites. These findings establish a pangenome-guided strategy for recovering wild alleles and combining stress adaptation with yield improvement in crops. © 2026 .},

abstract = {Moniligastrids are regarded as the most primitive group of earthworms; unlike Crassiclitellata, they lack a multilayered clitellum and produce yolky (mesolecithal) eggs, with some peculiarities in their reproductive systems not seen in other earthworms or Clitellata. While Moniligastridae have undergone classical morphological studies on reproductive organ localization and gross morphology, no reports detail ovary histology and ultrastructure. Here, using light and electron microscopy, histochemistry, and DNA barcoding, we analyzed Drawida pellucida from India to describe the ovary micromorphology and follow oogenesis. In the species studied, paired ovaries are feathery with multiple elongated lobes surrounding the intestine in segment XI. No ovarian chamber is present. Proximal lobe parts connect to the septum, housing oogonia and early meiotic cells (till diplotene), united into small germline cysts (≤10 cells). The cysts feature crassiclitellate-like architecture: a few cells interconnected by ring canals to a thin reticular cytophore. Distal regions contain growing oocytes appearing individual, lacking ring canals or cytophore. Notably, no nurse cells were observed, which is surprising as they occur in all studied clitellates to date. We propose to term these ovaries “Drawida” type due to substantial morphological and organizational differences from other earthworms. As oogenesis progresses, oocytes detach from ovarian lobes and gather in large, sac-shaped and irregularly thickened ovisacs, where they finalize yolk uptake. Oocytes are small (∼100 µm diameter), mesolecithal, rich in proteinaceous yolk and lipids. We also provide molecular markers for the studied species and compare the ovary/oogenesis with Crassiclitellata, aiding the debate on moniligastrid phylogeny. © 2026 The Authors},

abstract = {Mediterranean oak coppices represent an important fuelwood resource in Central Italy, but management decisions are often constrained by limited quantitative evidence on the relative importance of stand development, standard retention, site conditions, and climate in driving shoot biomass accumulation. This study investigated the effects of stand, edaphic, topographic, climatic, and management-related factors on coppice shoot biomass in Central Italy, with the aim of supporting more evidence-based and site-specific management of Mediterranean oak coppices. We analyzed field inventory data from 201 plots across Tuscany, Latium, and Umbria, covering coppices dominated by Turkey oak (Quercus cerris), holm oak (Quercus ilex), and downy oak (Quercus pubescens). Species-specific linear mixed-effect models were used to assess the effects of stand age, standard retention density, soil properties, topography, and selected bioclimatic variables on shoot biomass. Model selection indicated that shoot biomass accumulation was primarily driven by stand age in all three species. Stand age had a positive effect on biomass, with fixed effects explaining 28.2% of variability in Q. cerris, 59.7% in Q. ilex, and 25.4% in Q. pubescens. In contrast, standard retention density, soil predictors, topographic variables, and macroclimatic predictors were not retained in the best-supported species-specific models. The contribution of the Municipality-based Forest Management Plan random effect, particularly for Q. cerris and Q. ilex, suggests that local stand-level factors and management history not captured by the available predictors may strongly influence biomass accumulation. Our results do not support the definition of a universal optimal number of standards for Mediterranean oak coppices based on shoot biomass alone. Rather, they indicate that coppice productivity is mainly age-driven and that standard retention should be evaluated through site- and species-specific assessments that also consider canopy structure, biodiversity, microclimatic buffering, legal constraints, and ecosystem resilience. Future studies should combine Forest Management Plan data with targeted field measurements of standard biomass, crown cover, microclimate, browsing pressure, and understory biodiversity to better quantify trade-offs between fuelwood production and ecological functions. © 2026 The Author(s).

The NZFO average crystallite size, being approximately 7.5 ± 1.5 nm remains almost stable regardless of the heat treatment. The predominant role of the f-MWCNT matrix with turbostratic carbon-disordered graphitic layers and Fe-based catalytic residues is revealed. The NZFO nanoparticles crystallize in the cubic spinel structure with evident transition from the inverse to normal structure induced by annealing. The redistribution of metallic cations as a function of annealing temperature was exposed by the deconvolution of X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) core-level spectra. The influence of Fe-based residues in the nanotubes is proven to be significantly important for the magnetic properties of the nanocomposites.

abstract = {Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are key mediators of sulfur and carbon cycling, with growing recognition of their role in metal immobilization in contaminated environments. This study investigates SRB community structure, abundance, and activity in a historically metal-polluted soil system subjected to seasonal porewater fluctuation and transient redox conditions. Molecular analyses targeting the dsrB gene revealed distinct SRB communities in topsoil and subsoil layers, with Desulfobaccales and Desulfomonilaceae showing a stronger capacity to adapt to high concentrations of As, Cd, Pb, and Zn and prevalent aerobic conditions in the top layers. Microscale geochemical evidence, supported by scanning electron microscopy, sulfur isotopes, and porewater chemistry, indicates that Zn and Cd undergo in situ transformation into poorly soluble ZnCdS phases within transiently anoxic microsites in the topsoil. The spatial distribution of these authigenic sulfides suggests localized SRB activity, independent of sulfide diffusion from deeper layers. In contrast, Pb and As showed no signs of sulfide mineral formation or vertical stratification, remaining largely unaffected by SRB activity. Seasonal changes in sulfate and bicarbonate concentration, alongside sulfur isotope fractionation, document the sensitivity of dissimilatory sulfate reduction to environmental forcing. Sulfide concentration stayed low in bulk porewater, in agreement with the instantaneous precipitation of hardly soluble ZnCdS phases in periods of SRB activity. These findings underscore the ecological resilience and biogeochemical relevance of SRB in anthropogenically disturbed environments and demonstrate their role in the in situ stabilization of toxic metals through microscale redox cycling. © 2026 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {A thermally programmable mesoporous silica nanoreactor was developed that integrates copper adsorption, stabilization, and confinement-driven phase transformation within a single ordered host. It is based on SBA-15 mesoporous silica functionalized with propyl-phosphonate groups, which act as immobile high-affinity coordination sites for Cu2+ during aqueous adsorption. In parallel, mobile Cu(acac)2 complexes diffuse through the hydrophobic mesopore channels and serve as uniformly distributed molecular copper precursors. This dual-functional architecture combines strong interfacial binding with preserved molecular mobility, enabling efficient copper capture while allowing copper species to reorganize and react within the confined pore environment. Structural analyses demonstrate that copper incorporation and thermal treatment induce controlled mesoscopic reorganization without disrupting the long-range hexagonal order of SBA-15. Small-angle diffraction reveals a moderate shift of the (100) reflection consistent with lattice contraction caused by pore filling and framework densification. At the same time, transmission electron microscopy confirms preservation of the ordered cylindrical mesopore structure. Wide-angle diffraction and Raman spectroscopy exclude the presence of bulk crystalline Cu(acac)2, confirming high dispersion and confinement of copper species within the pores. Upon thermal activation, confined copper precursors decompose and undergo diffusion-driven restructuring, forming spatially confined copper phosphate and copper hydrophosphate nanophases. Statement of environmental implications: From the perspective of environmental protection and resource efficiency, the proposed SBA-15-based system can operate in two complementary modes: in the first, a reusable-adsorbent scenario, Cu2+ ions can be removed by controlled acid washing prior to thermal treatment, consistent with regeneration strategies for Cu-loaded functionalized SBA-15 materials; in the second, the spent material can be subjected to calcination as a post-use valorization step transforming immobilized copper into confined copper phosphate or hydrophosphate-type nanophases within the mesoporous matrix. Hence, thermal treatment should be considered a waste-to-material conversion pathway rather than a true adsorbent regeneration process. As a result, the system enables effective immobilization of Cu2+ ions, thereby reducing their mobility and environmental risk while simultaneously providing a route for stabilization and potential recovery of captured metal species, in line with circular economy principles that integrate water remediation with resource valorization and reduced dependence on primary copper extraction. Practical implementation, however, will require further validation, including adsorption–desorption cycling, performance in multi-ion and real wastewater systems, leaching stability studies, and techno-economic and scalability assessments. © 2026 The Authors},

abstract = {Diversisporales comprises species with worldwide distribution that produce glomoid, otosporoid, or tricisporoid spores. The recent reorganization of the order recognizes two families, Diversisporaceae and Corymbiglomeraceae, comprising one and five genera, respectively. Several Glomeromycota specimens collected in northern and southeastern Mexico and in French Polynesian atolls were characterized using both morphological and molecular analyses. Phylogenetic inference revealed that they represent new members of the Diversisporales, supporting the reorganization of the genus Redeckera into three independent lineages: Albocarpum gen. nov. with A. arenaceum sp. nov. A. leptohyphum sp. nov. and A. fulvum comb. nov. Pulvinocarpum pulvinatum gen. et comb. nov. and Redeckera, which retains five species, including R. varelae sp. nov. In addition, we described Melanocarpum mexicanum gen. et sp. nov. and Diversispora papillosa sp. nov. A broader phylogeny, based on eDNA ribosomal sequences and representative of Diversisporales species, including the newly described taxa, further supported the split of Redeckera and suggested three additional clades likely corresponding to a new family and two new genera, awaiting the discovery of representative morphospecies for formal description. Using eDNA sequences metadata, the occurrences of the newly described taxa were mapped, allowing the recognition of distribution patterns, mostly in the pantropical zone, distinguishing widespread and rare species, and suggesting possible endemisms. Finally, the coexistence of species forming large sporocarps (A. fulvum and A. leptohyphum) alongside species forming spores in loose aggregates (A. arenaceum) prompted us to propose a possible sporulation dimorphism hypothesis in Albocarpum, an argument previously raised to explain the nested placement of Corymbiglomus and Paracorymbiglomus within the Redeckera clade.

abstract = {The River Habitat Survey (RHS) is a method used to assess the condition of river channels and valleys by considering hydromorphological factors. It evaluates the degree of naturalness or anthropogenic alterations based on physical and landscape data. The study hypothesized that the quality of river habitats, as demonstrated by the RHS, should correlate with the composition of aquatic bugs (Heteroptera) fauna. The research was conducted in the River Krapiel, a small lowland river in north-western Poland, across 6 sites and 43 sub-sites. Our analyses suggest that the RHS method can predict the composition and quality of aquatic bug fauna. Other indicators, such as the Habitat Quality Assessment (HQA) and the Riverine Habitat Quality Index (RHQI), are associated with different habitat types. Depending on the geographic location and river type, these indicators may reflect differences between habitats associated with the mainstream river and mineral substrates versus those covered by vegetation with relatively slow water flow. Linking the size and character of the river, RHS may be a good method for estimating the water bug fauna. © 2026 The Author(s).

abstract = {Aim: The upper tree limit (UTL) marks the upper boundary of the realized niche of trees. It is commonly located below the treeline, which represents the cold boundary of the fundamental niche of trees. We hypothesized that the elevational offset between the UTL and the treeline is partly systematic and can be predicted using topographic and bioclimatic variables. These variables were further used to develop a climatic classification of European UTLs. Location: Europe except Ural. Taxon: Tree species from the families Pinaceae, Fagaceae, and Betulaceae. Methods: We identified current UTLs and calculated their bioclimatic metrics, based on which UTLs reaching treeline isotherm were subset. UTL elevation and its offset from the treeline were modelled using latitude, diurnal temperature range, climatic water balance, distance to summit, and warming trends. Results: Along with latitude, distance to summit and diurnal temperature range explained the elevational gradient of European UTLs (root mean square error = 196 m) and the offset between UTLs and treelines. European UTLs were classified into five distinct bioclimatic groups: (1) warm and dry UTLs in southern Europe, (2) UTLs in the highest European mountains, (3) Scotland's UTLs with a very long growing season, (4) UTLs in the western Scandes with the lowest degree days and the shortest growing season, and (5) UTLs from the eastern Scandes and Kola with a relatively dry and short growing season and with a low diurnal temperature range. Only UTLs in groups 2,4, and 5 reach the treeline. Main Conclusions: Our study shows that, beyond random and land-use driven factors, deviations of UTLs from the treeline are partly systematic and reflect latitudinal and regional variation in available space above the UTL and diurnal temperature range. We provide a bioclimatic framework for the distribution and regional dynamics of European UTLs. © 2026 The Author(s). Journal of Biogeography published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.},

abstract = {Three round robin exercises (RRE) aimed at characterizing bituminite and testing the reproducibility of random vitrinite (VRo %) and bituminite (BitRo %) reflectance measurements on samples of dispersed organic matter from organic‑carbon rich shale intervals of Kimmeridge Clay Formation were conducted in 2016, 2018, and 2020. This work was conducted by the Identification of Dispersed Organic Matter Working Group (IDOM WG) of the International Committee for Coal and Organic Petrology (ICCP). The Kimmeridge Clay Formation represents the major marine source rock for the North Sea hydrocarbon province. Samples collected from Kimmeridge Bay, Dorset, England, United Kingdom and Filey Bay, North Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom outcrops and the 16/17–14 well in the Tiffany oil field, Viking Graben, North Sea, were analyzed by 19 to 23 participants in 15 to 17 laboratories from 14 to 15 countries. Samples contain moderate to high organic matter content [5.32 to 12.10 wt% total organic carbon (TOC) content] with thermal maturity ranging from immature to thermally mature (Tmax 418 to 445 °C). Participants used a standard description sheet to record bituminite morphological characteristics, including its form, size, mode of appearance, and impurities, for use in the revision of the bituminite definition. The usage of previously published classifications of bituminite types (e.g.; bituminite I sensu Teichmüller and Ottenjann; 1977) in the RRE was not found to be helpful. The indistinct, amorphous character of boundaries of bituminite, and the poor preparation of whole rock pellets for the 2018 and 2020 RRE hampered identification of bituminite. Mean random BitRo %, including outlying values, varied in all three RRE from 0.19 to 0.35% and is reported here for the first time. Application of the criterion standard deviation (SD) < 0.15 × BitRo % to exclude outlying BitRo % values showed virtually no change in modified BitRo % in immature samples (2016 and 2018 RRE) and an unexpected increase to 0.43% BitRo in the thermally mature sample (2020 RRE). Mean VRo values, including outliers in the three RRE, range from 0.47 to 0.71%, confirming the immature to thermally mature nature of samples of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation used in this study. Application of the criterion SD < 0.15 × VRo to exclude outlying values results in a comparable range of modified VRo values and a decrease in group standard deviation. Precision of VRo values (including outlying values) evaluated via the averaged unsigned multiple of the standard deviation rule (< 1.5) showed moderate to high precision comparable to historical values from similar RRE. An average reproducibility limit (RL) of 0.29% (including outlying values) showed an improvement in reproducibility relative to similar historical RRE (0.35%), which was attributed to the application of a common methodology (ASTM D7708; 2014b; 2023) to enhance the quality of data from the reflectance test method. © 2026 The Authors},

abstract = {Time intervals near the Frasnan–Famennian (F-F) and Devonian–Carboniferous (D-C) boundaries are marked by stepwise extinction events (termed the Kellwasser and Hangenberg crises; respectively), accompanied by evidence of volcanic eruptions and anomalous geochemical signatures, including mercury (Hg) spikes. In this review paper, independent global datasets are interpreted in a conceptual framework to evaluate two competing hypotheses to explain the cause of these biocrises: (1) a volcanism-triggered cataclysm versus or (2) a range of single proximate killing factors, such as anoxia or cooling, with either no specified trigger, or as a response to orbital forcing or a bioevolutionary scenario. In our earlier works published in 2020, we favoured an extended (press-pulse) scenario of cataclysmic volcanism as the primary cause of these mass extinctions; however, while our hypothesis has been widely discussed, particularly with regard to supporting Hg-data, and it has been criticized as being applicable at a regional scale only. In our updated model, presented here, we discuss in detail the complex Hg signatures of the two crises. We highlight that Hg enrichment levels have been reported at least at 26 Kellwasser and 16 Hangenberg sites across three continents (including several domains of Euroamerica; Gondwana and adjacent terranes; as well as in South China) and our new dataset includes the first continental records from Greenland for both crises. Thus, the existence of a global Hg signals is confirmed. Mutually correlated volcanic proxies include Hg-based indicators, negative carbon isotope excursions, coronenes and other biomarkers, and charcoal. If the concept of a giant Siberian-East European mantle superplume is accepted, the geographic extent of Large Igneous Province (LIP) volcanism would be distinctly greater than commonly assumed. Along with evolving radiometric ages, biostratigraphic dates confirm that LIP volcanism was a significant stressor. This continuous cataclysmic factor preconditioned the global ecosystem for collapse, especially since LIPs also contribute prolonged non-eruptive degassing. Nevertheless, arc magmatism and hydrothermal activity likely played a more important role in the D-C transition. We also note that Hg enrichment in the Holy Cross Mts reference succession for the Annulata and Dasberg events provides the first geochemical confirmation of the well-known Late Famennian LIP eruption phase. The origin of the final pulse(s) that led to biosphere upheaval remains unclear. In addition to orbitally forced climate changes, other factors include paroxysmal sill intrusions and non-basaltic LIP components, especially Siberian kimberlite bursts. The most speculative proposal for the F-F catastrophe involves an oceanic bolide mega-impact or unusual tectonic-seismic episode. Despite the possible involvement of these other causes, a volcanic trigger for Late Devonian mass extinctions is comprehensively confirmed. © 2026 Elsevier B.V.},

abstract = {Recently, growing interest has been observed in using calcium as an effective catalyst for graphitizing disordered carbon materials derived from biomass and bioprecursors, such as cellulose and lignin, at relatively low temperatures (<2000 °C). Herein, it is demonstrated that in the presence of elements − such as calcium, silicon, sulfur, and potassium, which are abundant in banana peel composed of cellulose and lignin base, graphitization occurs much more effectively. The addition of external calcium source, in the form of calcium carbonate, to the banana peel-derived carbon and heat-treatment of the mixture under protective atmosphere up to 1750 °C results in a significant increase in the degree of the graphitization order and local formation of graphite crystals, whereas the same preparation and heat-treatment procedure applied to carbon material derived from pristine cellulose does not lead to such effective graphitization. It is indicated that the graphitization of banana peel carbon occurs due to the synergistic effect of the external Ca-based catalyst and the internal elements present in the raw biomass, supporting the transformation of the disordered graphene-like layers into graphitic structures. These findings are important for the future production of green graphite from biomass. © 2026 Published by Elsevier Ltd.},

abstract = {This study aimed to determine the environmental impact of extensive green roofs (EGRs) using a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) based on an analysis of a 4m^2 experimental EGR unit. A literature-based LCA was conducted, covering the first three life cycle stages, followed by a detailed LCA of these stages. The analysis was supplemented with carbon footprint calculations for the individual processes involved in constructing the experimental green roof unit (4m^2). The results showed that the production of green roof components, particularly synthetic materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polypropylene, significantly contributes to environmental degradation. The carbon footprint of the 740.15kg experimental green roof was 0.29kgCO₂ equivalent per kilogram of green roof system (GRS). While this value is relatively low compared to, for example, selected food products, the environmental impact increases significantly when scaled to actual roof sizes, such as 100m^2. Compared to similar studies, such as 150.99kgCO₂ equivalent per m^2 for tropical green roofs, this study highlights the variability of environmental impacts depending on climate, materials, and design decisions. Although green roofs are intended to mimic natural ecosystems, current designs often rely on materials with high environmental impacts. Further research into sustainable alternatives and the inclusion of more CO₂-sequestering plant species are necessary to reduce their ecological footprint. © 2026. The Author(s).

Among these emerging contaminants, bicyclic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are particularly concerning due to their high consumption, partial metabolism, and long-lasting persistence in wastewater. This review was prepared critically based on popular databases such as PubMed and the Google Scholar website, and using the modern Nested Knowledge platform. The bibliometric analysis was performed using the VosViewer program with the keywords co-occurrence method. The review aims to systematically compile and synthesize current knowledge on the impact of bicyclic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on biological wastewater treatment systems, with particular emphasis on activated sludge. It discusses how these compounds influence microbial community composition, metabolic activity, sludge structure, and overall treatment performance. Furthermore, the distribution of these contaminants in the environment and their degradation efficiency were analyzed. By integrating evidence from both laboratory and industrial studies, this article provides a comprehensive perspective on the environmental risks posed by bicyclic NSAIDs. Our findings also underscore the urgent need for systematic monitoring and adaptive management to mitigate the ecological impact of these widely used pharmaceuticals in the future. © 2026 by the authors.},
