Heat stress disturbs cellular homeostasis and alters the fitness of individual organisms. However, it is unclear whether thermal perturbations exacerbate the toxic effects of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) on trophic endpoints in freshwater ecosystems. We conducted a mesocosm experiment to investigate the impact of warming and PFASs on the widespread submerged macrophytes (Hydrilla verticillata) at a molecular level. Quantitative and air flow-assisted ionization mass spectrometry imaging results showed that warming significantly increased the accumulation of PFOS (3.53 L/kg) in the submerged leaf tissues. Accumulation of PFASs altered H. verticillata intracellular scavenging enzymes, an effect that may be exacerbated by 4 °C warming. Warming and PFASs influenced photosynthesis, biological rhythms, and ecological stoichiometry, causing a decrease in metabolites linked to the tricarboxylic acid cycle and amino acid metabolism, which compromised nitrogen use efficiency (9.9%-30.4% reduction in nitrogen content, 0.8%-22.8% increase in C:N ratios). Additionally, metabolites are linked to the antioxidant system or cell wall components, with linoleic acid decreasing by 17.1%-82.8% and carbohydrate-related compounds dropping by 52.2%-89.0%. Our modeling analyses revealed that H. verticillata enriched with PFASs could pose secondary risks when consumed by herbivorous fish (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) under warming, potentially affecting food chain dynamics.
