“…The total production of crops increased by 53% between 2000 and 2019, yielding 9.4 billion tons in 2019 [26]. However, the variation in soil microbial com-munities influenced by climatic change affects the physiology, temperature sensitivity or plant growth rate, which jeopardizes the final yields and compromises the future of this sector [27]. The relationships among microorganisms, atmospheric gases and crops showcase an intricate feedback system.…”

The effect of climate change on flora and fauna has been widely discussed for years. However, its consequences on microorganisms are generally poorly considered. The main effect of climate change on microbiota is related to biodiversity changes in different regions of the planet, mainly due to variations in temperature. These alterations are resulting in a worldwide (re)distribution of pathogens, which was not considered a few years ago. They mainly affect different food chain sectors (such as agriculture, livestock and fishing), as well as human health. Hence, the spread of numerous animal and plant pathogens has been observed in recent years from south to north (especially in America, Europe and Asia), leading to the spread of numerous plant and animal diseases, which results in economic and ecological losses. In addition, global warming that accompanies climate change could also be related to emerging antibiotic resistance. However, the mitigation of climate change goes hand in hand with microorganisms, which can help us through different natural and industrial processes. Thus, this manuscript presents the direct and indirect effects of climate change on microorganisms described up to date and how they act on this worldwide phenomenon.

“…Soil is a three-phase system consisting of solids, water, and air. The long-term balance of physical components of soil is highly essential not only to humans but also to all other living things of the world 1 . Therefore, it is important to understand the anthropogenic activities that directly and indirectly impact the balance of the soil system.…”

Soil temperatures at both surface and various depths are important in changing environments to understand the biological, chemical, and physical properties of soil. This is essential in reaching food sustainability. However, most of the developing regions across the globe face difficulty in establishing solid data measurements and records due to poor instrumentation and many other unavoidable reasons such as natural disasters like droughts, floods, and cyclones. Therefore, an accurate prediction model would fix these difficulties. Uzbekistan is one of the countries that is concerned about climate change due to its arid climate. Therefore, for the first time, this research presents an integrated model to predict soil temperature levels at the surface and 10 cm depth based on climatic factors in Nukus, Uzbekistan. Eight machine learning models were trained in order to understand the best-performing model based on widely used performance indicators. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model performed in accurate predictions of soil temperature levels at 10 cm depth. More importantly, the models developed here can predict temperature levels at 10 cm depth with the measured climatic data and predicted surface soil temperature levels. The model can predict soil temperature at 10 cm depth without any ground soil temperature measurements. The developed model can be effectively used in planning applications in reaching sustainability in food production in arid areas like Nukus, Uzbekistan.

“…Their massive mounds, which can grow up to 40 cm in height, can cause soil erosion and destabilize infrastructure such as in roads and buildings ( Poorter and Browne, 2005 ). Furthermore, the ants have been known to displace native ant species, thereby setting off an ecological cascade effect that affects plant diversity and nutrient cycling ( Kannojia et al., 2019 ).…”

“…By forming symbiotic relationships with plant roots, microbes can enhance nutrient acquisition and improve plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. In essence, soil microorganisms are a critical component of soil ecosystems that supports essential processes such as plant growth, nutrient cycling, soil structure formation, and pest suppression ( Jacoby et al., 2017 ; Kannojia et al, 2019 ). As an invasive species with significant ecological and economic impacts caused by its rapid spread worldwide, although the impact of fire ant invasion on aboveground organisms has been extensively studied, the effects of these invasions on soil microorganisms have received less attention.…”

The red imported fire ants (RIFA, Solenopsis invicta) have become a well-known invasive species that poses significant ecological and economic threats globally. As of recent times, the geographic scope of its invasion in China is rapidly expanding, thereby aggravating the extent and severity of its detrimental effects. The importance of soil microorganisms for maintaining soil health and ecosystem function has been widely acknowledged. However, the negative impact of RIFAs on soil microbial communities and their functions has not yet been fully understood. In this study, we sequenced the V3-V4 variable region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene in soil samples collected from three types of RIFA nests to investigate the impact of RIFA invasion on soil microbial diversity and composition. The results of alpha diversity analysis showed that the normal soil without nests of RIFAs exhibited the highest level of diversity, followed by the soil samples from RIFA-invaded nests and abandoned nests. Taxonomy and biological function annotation analyses revealed significant differences in microbial community structure and function among the different samples. Our findings demonstrate that RIFA invasion can significantly alter soil microbial community composition, which could ultimately affect ecosystem function. Therefore, effective management strategies are urgently needed to mitigate the negative impact of invasive species on native ecosystems.
