Description
Yuxiang Zhao and colleagues track antibiotic resistance genes in Chinese soils across 14 years in 2026 work. Their set of 2,243 soil metagenomes spans 2009 to 2022 and feeds an open interactive map platform. The study tests whether the national action plan period left a mark on farm soils.
After 2016, total resistance gene abundance in croplands fell markedly compared with earlier samples, with high-risk genes dropping even more steeply. Cropland profiles worldwide also grew more alike under similar farm pressures, a homogenization the authors flag. They call for global coordination joining pollution control with better farm practice.
