Atmospheric release of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) constitutes a silent threat through chronic contamination of soils at global scale; yet fundamental understanding of their occurrence, sources and fate is still largely lacking. Similar to a three act play, this review comprises Setup, Confrontation and Resolution. The first emphasises the eighty years of the history of pentachlorophenol (PCP) usage, only recently classified as POP. The second focus on active sources of PCP pollution, including inside cork oak forests in N.W. Tunisia; a threat partially neutralised by the soil microbial diversity, especially fungi. As Resolution, the need for improved knowledge on the global distribution and impacts of PCP in soil microbial diversity as means to preserve the multi-functionality of terrestrial ecosystem is emphasised.
大气中持久性有机污染物（POPs）的释放对土壤造成了全球性的慢性污染，这构成了一种无声的威胁；然而，人们对它们的发生、来源和归宿的基本认识仍在很大程度上缺乏。本综述类似于一场三幕剧，由三个部分组成：设置、对抗和解决。第一部分强调了五氯苯酚（PCP）使用 80 年的历史，该物质最近才被归类为持久性有机污染物。第二部分重点介绍了 PCP 污染的主要来源，包括突尼斯西北部软木橡树森林内的污染来源；这一威胁因土壤微生物多样性而部分得到缓解，特别是真菌。作为解决办法，需要加强对全球土壤微生物多样性中 PCP 的分布和影响的了解，以保持陆地生态系统的多功能性。
