Abstract

This study seeks to investigate how environmental changes affect the microbiome and other living organisms. This study was conducted using the search terms across prominent databases spanning the period from 2006 to 2024. Ultimately, 28 articles met the inclusion criteria and were subjected to thorough analysis. After including the selected articles in the research and approving the quality of the articles, required data were extracted from all the accepted studies. Life on the Earth began and evolved with the emergence of RNA and ribozymes, eventually transitioning into more stable DNA in different microbiome forms. The microbiome has survived even after mass extinctions caused by cosmic and terrestrial events. The microbiomes of plant and animal organisms span from the depths of the ocean floor to the highest mountain peaks, existing in air, water and soil. To prevent human anomalies against nature and themselves, scientists in the medical, biological and social sciences must turn to the microbiotas so that they can develop more practical and suitable solutions to avert dangerous and life-threatening incidents.
