地球健康的隐形守护者——微生物丨Cell Press Live
生物世界· 2025-11-21 04:09
以下文章来源于CellPress全科学 ,作者Cell Press CellPress全科学 . 系统。"行星健康"理念的提出,使人们深刻认识到地球健康与人类健康密不可分,强调了亟需优化人类管 理方式,共同守护一个健康的地球,为全人类创造可持续的未来。 微生物群体涵盖细菌、古菌、病毒、真菌和原生生物,广泛分布于地球各个环境系统,从深海海沟到人体 肠道,并塑造着地球生命的多样性与生态系统的稳定运行。尽管它们仅占地球总生物量约十分之一,微生 物对于全球生物多样性保护、气候调节、粮食安全、水资源卫生以及人类健康等多重可持续发展议题发挥 着不可或缺的关键作用。 尽管微生物在推动可持续发展方面扮演着关键角色,但令人惊讶的是,它们在联合国可持续发展目标框架 中却鲜有体现。在联合国560项官方多边条约中,几乎难以找到直接涉及微生物的议题,显示出这一重要 领域亟待获得更多关注与重视。 忽视微生物在可持续发展能力建设中的作用,可能导致努力徒劳,并加剧诸多本已复杂的挑战。例如,随 着全球变暖,土壤微生物加速土壤有机碳的矿化,释放大量温室气体,不仅加剧气候变化,进而引发多重 环境问题,还可能提升疟疾、登革热等媒介传播疾病的传播风险 ...

海洋“汞封印”松动 拖网捕捞与气候变暖正加速汞排放
Ke Ji Ri Bao· 2025-10-04 01:08
Core Insights - Mercury is a globally toxic pollutant that poses significant health risks to humans through the food chain, with marine sediments previously considered a permanent storage solution now facing unprecedented release challenges [1][2] - An international research team led by researchers from Peking University has revealed that bottom trawling and climate change are accelerating the release of mercury from marine sediments [1][2] Group 1: Mercury Release Dynamics - The global continental shelf buries nearly 1,300 tons of mercury annually, which is 2 to 7 times the annual burial rate of deep-sea sediments, accounting for about 80% of the total mercury storage in the oceans [1] - Since the Industrial Revolution, the concentration of mercury in surface sediments on the continental shelf has increased threefold, indicating significant storage of anthropogenic mercury emissions [1] - Bottom trawling and dredging activities disturb over 5,000 tons of mercury from sediments each year, which is more than four times the annual burial amount [1] Group 2: Impact of Climate Change - Climate change exacerbates the dissolution and release of mercury from sediments, with model simulations indicating that a global temperature rise of 1.5 to 5°C could increase natural mercury release into water bodies by 6% to 21% by the end of the century [2] - Warmer ocean temperatures are expected to enhance the degradation of organic matter in sediments, further promoting mercury dissolution and release [2] Group 3: Human Health and Environmental Implications - The disturbance of sediments by trawling may reactivate historically buried mercury, potentially reintroducing it into the human food chain [2] - The research emphasizes the need for human intervention to address marine mercury emissions, including the implementation of the Minamata Convention, reducing mercury emissions from coal burning and mining, and limiting trawling activities [2][3] Group 4: Sustainable Development Goals - Protecting continental shelf mercury sinks is crucial for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), serving as a shield for human health and a guardian of marine ecosystems [3] - Integrating mercury management, fishery policies, and carbon neutrality goals is essential to safeguard this critical environmental defense [3]
