TITTLE: Ecological Gradient – Environmental Microorganisms – One Health

ABSTRACT: 

Vegetation pattern, land-use and seasonal variation shape microbial communities in our living environments, thus affects human health. These associations frame a synchronized urban system based on ecological gradient, environmental microorganisms and One Health. Green space is the most important life supporting system in urban environment. To protect biodiversity and improve urban ecosystem functions, we discover the relationship between the changing urban environment and the microbial succession in soil. On the other hand, the environmental microbiota is the main source of indoor microbial communities, indicating that the outdoor conditions likely shape the environmental microbiota transferred indoor and affect indoor human microbial exposure. Revealing the role of urban-rural gradient on indoor microbes, especially human pathogens, can advance knowledge in building health-friendly neighborhood landscapes and reducing many health risks, which are of great strategic significance for maintaining normal social and economic life.
