Abstract:

Ecological conservation is at a crossroad as environmental stresses around the world intensify and traditional models of conservation exhibit intrinsic weaknesses in their response to present and future problems. In the project, we evaluated novel approaches integrating adaptive management, technological innovations, and community-based action towards more efficient sustainable conservation results and ecosystem resilience. The multi-site... More

Abstract:

The construction of ecological public welfare forests is an important ccomponent and foundation of building a beautiful China and plays an important role in the construction of ecological civilization. As an important barrier to maintaining ecological balance and ensuring ecological security, ecological public welfare forests play an extremely important role in human survival and development. The construction and management of... More

Abstract:

This study evaluates pesticide contamination in groundwater downstream of the Kaddoussa Dam (Guir watershed, Morocco) and investigates the influence of agricultural activities on water quality. Nine sampling stations were strategically selected during November 2023 (post-agricultural season) to analyze spatial patterns of 18 pesticide residues: 7 organophosphorus and 11 organochlorines. Identification and quantification were performed via gas... More

Abstract:

This study comprehensively examines the multifaceted impact of climate change on Morocco’s ecological sustainability and economic development, focusing on four critical environmental stressors: water stress, deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and rising temperatures. These interrelated factors contribute significantly to the degradation of natural ecosystems, the decline in biodiversity, reductions in carbon sequestration, and the disruption of... More

Abstract:

The genus Lilium comprises 119 taxa, primarily native to temperate and alpine regions of the Northern Hemisphere, extending to the northern Philippines. In this study, we report the first occurrence of Lilium candidum L. in Morocco, specifically in the jbel Sidi Ali El Jawzi area, within the territorial commune of Asjen, Ouezzane Province (Pre-Rif region). During a botanical... More

Abstract:

The isolation of bacteria from the rhizosphere soil of different plants and locations in Diwaniyah Governorate and their diagnosis by two methods. Isolation and routine molecular diagnosis revealed ten bacterial isolates with the attributes of P. fluorescens out of fifteen local isolates that are represented by the following codes and sequences (P.f9, P.f8, P.f6, P.f5, P.f4,...

Abstract:

The current investigation focuses on intertwined relationships of ecology and aquaculture for the benefit of farmers involved in fish farming practices. The study evaluated glucosinolate reduction in black, brown, and white mustard meals as fish feed ingredients for Indian Major Carps. Fish were fed with 10% mustard meal-supplemented diets in three forms: Raw (R), Anti-nutritional... More

Abstract:

Enhancing A. bisporus L. culture media with nanomaterials and some biostimulants is important for in improving mushroom productivity quantitatively and qualitatively. Magnetic iron nanoparticles (N-FeO), carbon nanotube (CNTs) suspensions, effective microorganisms (EM) bio-fertilisers, and growth stimulants (Atonik) were used individually and in combination to enhance the compost culture media. Quantitative and qualitative traits of the... More

Abstract:

Wastewater plays a crucial role in deteriorating water quality and can significantly affect human health and ecosystems if discharged without proper treatment. Among available treatment methods, adsorption is often considered an effective, relatively inexpensive, and environmentally friendly purification technique, but its efficiency depends on the sorbents used. The use of low-cost biosorbents with high adsorption capacity... More

Abstract:

This present study identifies endophytic bacteria from Linum usitatissimum with multidimensional plant growth-promoting attributes, positioning them as ecological engineers for sustainable agriculture. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are present in symbiotic associations with plants or rhizosphere. These microbes enhance crop productivity and resilience under different environmental conditions. Endophytes are a type of PGPB that inhabit inside plant... More

Abstract:

Most fish exhibit remarkable morphological diversity, which is often influenced by genetic variation and ecological pressures. Consequently, these are the outcomes of organisms' responses to their environment. Meanwhile, modern morphometrics can quantify shape variation within species of the same group. This study aims to determine the body shape variation of Glossogobius giuris from Lake Mainit, Agusan... More

Abstract:

This study offers valuable insights into the relationship between metro ridership patterns and the spatial transformations around Delhi Metro stations, underscoring the role of mass transit infrastructure in shaping urban land use and ecosystem landscapes. The primary objective is to assess how high-ridership metro stations can positively influence urban development, particularly regarding socio-economic and ecological... More

Abstract:

Forest areas with special purpose (FASP) are decentralized management rights of state forest areas for universities and research institutions. The area of FASP management licenses continues to increase, as recorded in 2019, covering an area of 37,569 ha. At the end of 2024, there are 45 FASPs in Indonesia with a total area of 107,085.91...

Abstract:

The results of mass appraisal in many countries are used as a basis for calculating the amount of real estate tax, therefore, regardless of the methods used to calculate it, the resulting value should be as close as possible to the market value of the real estate to maintain a balance of interests between the... More

Abstract:

This study investigated the eco-biocontrol potential of indigenous isolates obtained from agricultural soils in Warbo Village, Papua, Indonesia, targeting the highly destructive fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in corn agroecosystems. A total of 58 bacterial colonies were isolated, of which 18 were morphologically confirmed as Bacillus thuringiensis based on endospore and parasporal crystal protein characteristics. These... More

Abstract:

Heavy metal pollution in coastal waters is on the rise, presenting serious threats to both ecosystems and human health. Coastal aquaculture zones, such as those in Quang Ninh province, are especially vulnerable due to the accumulation of heavy metals from multiple sources, including industrial wastewater, land runoff, and maritime activities. This study applies the Heavy... More
