“…In Chile recent efforts documenting the state of knowledge of soil biodiversity have pointed out disparities on soil taxa and ecosystem functions studied (Marín et al, 2022). Other national surveys have reported the distribution of soil organic carbon (Pfeiffer et al, 2020), and provided a gridded database on soil physical and hydraulic properties (Dinamarca et al, 2023), contributing to a better understanding of the environmental variables that could affect microbial diversity. Here, we complement these efforts by presenting a compilation and an indepth analysis of additional aspects of soil microbial biodiversity studies conducted in Chile and the Antarctic Peninsula.…”

Soil ecosystems are important reservoirs of biodiversity, as they are the most diverse habitat on Earth. Microbial biodiversity plays key roles in many ecosystem services, including the support to biogeochemical cycles. However, despite great advances in the understanding of the role of soil microbiota in providing benefits to nature and humankind, there is still much knowledge to be gained from understudied areas across the globe. Indeed, underrepresentation of the Global South in ecological studies has been suggested as an important gap that could compromise global solutions to conservation and the current biodiversity and climate crisis. In the Southern hemisphere, the southwest of South America, which includes Chile, runs behind the rest of the continent on studies related to soil microbial diversity and ecosystem functions. Therefore, to gain a better understanding of the global biodiversity and environment crisis, essential perspectives and knowledge from underrepresented regions need to be acknowledged to avoid biases in the scientific community. The main objective of this work is to understand how soil microbial diversity has been studied in Chile and the Antarctic Peninsula since 1975 to identify main knowledge gaps and funding opportunities for future research. Our survey consists of 343 articles representing 1,335 sampling points from Continental Chile to the Antarctic Peninsula. It revealed a better representation of articles studying bacterial and fungal diversity in the extreme regions of Chile funded by both international funds and the National Agency for Research and Development (ANID). To study microbial diversity, cultivation-based methods are still the most commonly used, whereas molecular studies are increasing but insufficiently applied. We have identified and argued the need to enhance collaborative multi- and interdisciplinary efforts, fundings for sequencing effort, and long-term studies to provide robust and informative knowledge about soil microbial communities.

Introduction: Soil pollution, which includes a variety of contaminants such as heavy metals and organic compounds, poses significant environmental and health risks, making effective prediction and assessment techniques essential. Current predictive models often struggle with the complexity and diversity of soil contaminant behaviors, leading to limitations in their accuracy and applicability.Methods: Recognizing the importance of capturing the temporal dynamics influenced by seasonal variations and agricultural practices, our study introduces an SSA-optimized Attention-ConvGRU model. This model integrates convolutional neural networks, gated recurrent units, and attention mechanisms, enhanced through optimization with the Sparrow Search Algorithm to improve predictive performance.Results: Experimental results confirm that our model significantly outperforms traditional methods, demonstrating over 30% improvement in prediction accuracy across multiple datasets.Discussion: This research underscores the potential of advanced machine learning techniques to revolutionize the assessment of soil pollution, providing substantial benefits for environmental management and public health protection.
