 Soil contamination is a global issue affecting both urban green spaces and natural ecosystems. Human activities are responsible for much of this contamination, and socio-economic factors play a role as well. The presence of multiple contaminants in both urban green spaces and natural ecosystems suggests that they can be found anywhere humans live or visit. These contaminants can also lead to changes in microbial communities, potentially impacting their ability to function properly and leading to negative effects on human health and ecosystem sustainability.
