Urban green roofs host intrinsic resistomes shaped by management but not dominated by pathogenic resistance

Abstract Background Urban green roofs are increasingly introduced to enhance urban biodiversity and ecosystem services, yet their role in shaping antimicrobial resistance in cities remains unclear. Using long-read metagenomic sequencing, we characterized antimicrobial resistance...

Drone-measured canopy spectra can be a complementary predictor of belowground arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi variations in urban community gardens

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form essential symbioses with plant roots, improving nutrient uptake, plant health, and soil function. However, assessing AMF abundance in urban ecosystems remains challenging. Drone-based multispectral imaging can estimate canopy functional tra...
