Abstract: Water scarcity and climate change are two of the biggest worldwide concerns.  A complicated and sometimes underappreciated occurrence, drought has an impact on many facets of human existence.  Early drought forecasts are therefore essential for water resource management and strategic planning.  In order to improve the accuracy of drought prediction, this work presents a unique...

Abstract: Rice blast, caused by Pyricularia oryzae, is one of the most damaging fungal diseases affecting rice production worldwide, with major implications for food security and agroecosystem stability. Chemical control, particularly the use of tricyclazole, has been widely adopted in many rice-growing regions due to its specific action on the pathogen’s melanin biosynthesis pathway. This review...

Abstract: This study investigates the adaptation strategies, reproductive potential, and bioecological characteristics of four higher aquatic plant species - Pistia stratiotes, Azolla caroliniana, Eichhornia crassipes, and Nelumbo nucifera - under the arid and saline environmental conditions of Karakalpakstan. These species were selected for their ecological significance and potential applications in environmental management. Field observations and controlled experiments were... More

Abstract: The study of the Brassicaceae family holds particular relevance in the modern era, especially in the context of ecosystem conservation. The ecological plasticity of the species within this family allows them to be regarded as resilient plants under conditions of global warming. Research on this family is also of great importance for agriculture and food security.... More

Abstract: This study examines the current radioecological condition of the former uranium production site in the village of Min-Kush, Kyrgyzstan, which was one of the largest uranium mining centers in the Soviet Union. From 1946 to 1970, Kyrgyzstan served as the primary uranium-producing republic of the USSR, leaving behind a vast legacy of radioactive waste. Inefficient... More

Abstract: The flora of Kyrgyzstan includes about 4000 species of higher plants, more than half of which have medicinal properties to some extent. The current status of 23 species of medicinal plants in Kyrgyzstan has been studied, and their resource potential can be successfully used as a reliable source of raw materials for the pharmaceutical industry. The... More

Abstract: Rodents of the family Muridae are among the most widespread and ecologically adaptable mammals in Kyrgyzstan. They play important ecological roles in seed dispersal, insect regulation, and food chains, while also serving as reservoirs of dangerous zoonotic pathogens such as plague, tularemia, and leptospirosis. Understanding their species composition and distribution is therefore essential for both... More

Abstract: Climate change, largely driven by the rapid rise in greenhouse gas emissions, is now widely recognized as a major force reshaping ecological systems around the world. One of the clearest signs of this transformation is the noticeable shift in bird migration patterns, particularly among species that travel long distances. This study explores how unusual changes...

Abstract: Pollution from human activities causes water contamination that impacts aquatic ecosystems and threatens public health while endangering environmental sustainability. This highlights the need for water restoration and biodiversity protection using indigenous, low-cost, and sustainable technologies. Adsorbents currently used in wastewater remediation are evolving from traditional materials to more cost-effective options. This study is focused on tracking advancements...

Abstract: The Tam Nong district, a flood-prone, low-lying area within Dong Thap province, Vietnam, benefits from nutrient-rich sediments deposited by the upper Mekong River. Its soils, predominantly thionic Fluvisols with smaller areas of Gleyic Acrisols and Histic Fluvisols, are vital for regional agriculture. This study investigates the impact of severe drought events, specifically in 2016 and... More

Abstract: The transition to ecologically integrated vertical housing is pivotal to the sustainable development vision of Indonesia’s new capital, Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN). This study identifies and prioritizes the critical success variables influencing the implementation of green building initiatives within IKN's vertical housing projects. By employing the MICMAC (Matrice d'Impacts Croisés Multiplication Appliquée à un Classement), a... More

Abstract: Soil is the basic component of the ecosystem responsible for life. The quality of the soil or soil health is the driving force in the ecosystem. Globally with changing climatic scenario, soil health is greatly affected thus having a greater impact on the agriculture and food production. Attributes like physico-chemical and biological properties of soil determine the... More

Abstract: Climate change is a phenomenon that will raise the number of hydrological extremes, namely floods and droughts, that will affect the plantation sector. This sector is vital to ensure the country's food security in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG 2) of zero hunger. Due to the phenomenon of the environment, the government focuses on both the resilience of... More
