Abstract: Emerging contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, microplastics, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), pose significant environmental and health risks due to their persistence, bioaccumulative nature, and ecological toxicity. This mini-review examines their major sources, including industrial effluents, urban runoff, and landfill leachate, and highlights their detrimental impacts on aquatic biodiversity and human health. By synthesizing... More

Abstract: Biological insecticides have gained importance in modern society because they cause minimal environmental harm and reduce pests' ability to develop resistance. Nomuraea rileyi, a facultative entomopathogenic fungus, is suitable for infecting lepidopteran pests, including Spodoptera litura and Helicoverpa armigera. This work aims to identify a suitable semi-solid fermentation medium to increase the conidia production of N. rileyi and... More

Abstract: This study examines the spatial and temporal patterns of wetland degradation in Delhi from 1991 to 2021 using remote sensing and GIS techniques. The Automated Water Extraction Index (AWEI) was applied to pre-monsoon Landsat imagery to delineate surface water bodies over the past 30 years accurately. Supervised classification was employed to generate land use maps,... More

Abstract: Under the dual drivers of global climate governance and carbon neutrality goals, agricultural carbon emission reduction has become a pivotal component of regional green transformation.This study focuses on Guangdong, a major province, employing the LMDI decomposition mode to systematically analyze the driving mechanis of agricultural carbon emissions. It reveals that the low ecological compensation standard,... More

Abstract: The edible mushroom Agaricus bisporus L. plays a crucial ecological role in nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition, alongside its increasing importance in the food and nutrition industry. This study explored ecological interventions to enhance the mushroom's vitamin content by enriching its cultivation substrate with nanomaterials and biostimulatory agents. The experiment was conducted within the mushroom... More

Abstract: This study explores the determinants of impact on ecology in Northern Tanzania. By examining key socio-economic, institutional, and structural factors influencing engagement the study provides insights in strengthening agribusiness networks and improving livelihoods. Data was collected from 215 farmers and 320 traders through a multistage sampling procedure. Heckman AI sample selection model was used in data... More

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the tourism industry and affecting on natural ecology, making it more environmentally friendly, efficient and personalized. In 2025, AI technologies are being actively implemented to reduce the carbon footprint, optimize resources, and improve the travel experience. Here are the key applications of AI in environmentally sustainable smart tourism: AI in smart... More

Abstract: Surface water provides crucial support to the aquatic ecosystem and humans in numerous ways. However, its quality is paramount in determining its impact on the health of the aquatic ecosystem and humans. Currently, the malady of pollution arising from anthropogenic activities poses a significant threat to the quality of most rivers. The quality of water in the Kapingazi river in... More

Abstract: Rapid industrial growth, urbanization, and agricultural activities have led to the discharge of large volumes of pollutants into coastal environments, raising levels of metals such as arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg) in water and sediments. Bivalve molluscs, such as Meretrix lyrata and Saccostrea glomerata can accumulate high amounts of toxic heavy metals in their tissues... More

Abstract: The Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD), a critical agricultural hub, faces recurrent flooding that poses substantial threats to livelihoods and productivity. Ben Tre province, with its low-lying coastal terrain, is particularly vulnerable. Effective risk management and sustainable agricultural development necessitate a thorough understanding of these flood dynamics. This study leveraged the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform... More

Abstract: A new renewable material by use reed biochar (Phragmites autralis); a species strong grows  and very high biomass, it can be exploit a  renewable resources for agriculture and environmental treatment. People often used rice husks as materials for organic fertilizers in agriculture. This study is a new discovere to made of reed biochar to filter... More

Abstract: This study evaluates the ecological effectiveness of urban landscape designs in Chinese cities through systematic PRISMA review methodology that integrates 70 peer-reviewed articles concerning design since 2018. Three core dimensions about cultural integration and ecological functionality and landscape integration receive explicit assessment for ecosystem services including carbon sequestration potential along with urban cooling intensity reductions... More

Abstract: Significant variations in global temperatures and weather patterns over time are known as climate change. Although it occurs naturally, human activities—particularly the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes—are accelerating these changes, which have various detrimental effects on the environment. This review aims to highlight the edapho-climatic requirements of this cactus and the advantages... More

Abstract: The article examines the impact of increased aridization of the territory due to an increase in air temperature, reduced precipitation, and the formation of moisture deficiency on grain yields in Northern Kazakhstan. The most important result of the work is the revealed inverse relationship between grain yields and the temperature of the growing season: low-yielding years... More

Abstract: According to literary data, there are 189 species of the genus Astragalus that inhabit the territory of Kyrgyzstan. The distribution of species of the genus Astragalus (Fabaceae) was studied by taking into account their occurrence in soil-climatic and relief types of plant habitats in the mountainous territories of Kyrgyzstan. The materials were collected during organized research expeditions to... More

Abstract: The article discusses the prospects of using algae in the soil—to improve the fertility of rice fields in the Osh oblast of Kyrgyzstan. The authors note that the Fergana Valley, where Osh oblast is located, is an important rice-growing region, and there are currently plans to expand rice fields. In this regard, the study of... More

Abstract: Landslides remain a significant environmental hazard in India's hill regions, particularly in the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu, due to its steep terrain, fractured geology, and heavy seasonal rainfall. This study applies the Frequency Ratio (FR) model within a GIS and remote sensing framework to map landslide susceptibility and identify key contributing factors to slope... More

Abstract: A controlled pot experiment was carried out to examine the interactive effects of salinity stress and biochar on the growth, nutrient uptake, and soil microbial dynamics of Lablab purpureus. Results showed that wheat husk biochar significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced plant growth parameters compared to controls. Plant height increased by c. 53%, root length by 37%, fresh... More

Abstract: Ensuring the availability and sustainable management of water (SDG 6) is particularly challenging in dry regions like Rajshahi, Bangladesh, where communities rely heavily on groundwater with limited recharge potential. Issues such as declining water levels and contamination by iron, arsenic, and chloride compromise both user satisfaction and public health. This study aimed to assess groundwater... More

Abstract: The scientific article discusses the principles of ecological landscaping of the classroom related to the creation and development of a safe educational environment. The functions of vertical landscaping of the classroom and the territory, as well as the plants used in it, are defined.
