This review follows the evolution of seed science with a forward-looking view on using AI-based methodologies to improve seed innovation. In doing so, the authors hope to reduce the threats to food security from climate change.

China's government has launched a series of frestation initiatives to increase forest coverage for both carbon neutrality and ecological resilience goals. This study explores whether China's forestation intiatives play a positive role overall, analyzing its implications on the land-energy-water-emission-biodiversity nexus.

This chapter most strongly aligns with SDG 13 (Climate Action) as it emphasizes integrated biotechnological solutions for climate resilience and environmental sustainability, while also supporting clean energy, biodiversity conservation, and water security.

This chapter directly supports SDG 15 (Life on Land) by demonstrating how soil microorganisms are fundamental to terrestrial ecosystem health and biodiversity conservation. The research emphasizes that preserving soil microbial diversity is essential for sustainable land management and ecosystem resilience, which aligns with SDG 15's focus on protecting and restoring terrestrial ecosystems. The chapter also connects to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) through its emphasis on how soil microorganisms enhance nutrient availability and promote plant growth, particularly in the rhizosphere. The microbial processes in nutrient cycling, including carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles, are essential for sustainable agriculture and crop productivity. The findings underscore that maintaining soil health through microbial diversity is vital for food security.

The contamination of marine environments by chemical pollutants poses a significant threat to both ecosystem health and human food safety, affecting marine One Health by disrupting the interconnect

This study examines how forest structural complexity influences body condition and tick infestation probability in great tits, finding that structurally complex forests increase infestation risk and that birds in better physiological condition are more likely to carry ticks.
