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

Abstract: Climate change poses increasingly severe risks to ecosystems, livelihoods, and the socio-spatial dynamics of both urban and rural areas, particularly in semi-arid regions such as central Morocco. These territories, already marked by ecological fragility and water scarcity, are especially vulnerable to rising temperatures and recurrent droughts. While national strategies and institutional frameworks provide an essential... More

Abstract: The Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) is an endangered pinniped species historically distributed along the Moroccan Mediterranean coast. Despite confirmed historical presence in the Al Hoceima region, no sightings have been recorded for over two decades. Between 2024 and 2025, a coastal habitat monitoring campaign was conducted within the Al Hoceima Marine Protected Area (MPA)... More

Abstract: This study investigates the role of community participation in promoting eco-cultural tourism with a focus on environmentally friendly practices and cultural preservation in Si Maha Phot District, Prachinburi Province, Thailand. Conducted as a cross-sectional survey, the research sampled 400 individuals from a population of 85,988, using Taro Yamane's formula for sample selection. Data collection took... More

Abstract: Ecotourism is one of the fastest-growing sectors globally, playing a crucial role not only in economic development, job creation, and improving living standards but also in ensuring ecological balance and sustainable development. The Fergana region, with its diverse natural landscapes, historical and cultural heritage, and recreational opportunities, represents one of the most promising areas for... More

Abstract: This study investigates the effects of natural zeolite and seaweed extract (SWE) on soil properties and morphological traits of Rosa damascena grown in Zemij soil under greenhouse conditions. Zeolite was applied at concentrations of 0, 5, and 10 mg L−1, while SWE was foliar-applied at 0, 10, and 30 mL L−1 using a randomized complete block... More

Abstract: A field experiment was conducted in the Al-Husseiniya region, Babylon Province, Iraq, during the autumn season to assess the environmental and agronomic impact of integrated fertilization strategies on hybrid cabbage (Brassica oleracea L., cv. Top White F1). The study evaluated the effects of soil application of effective microorganism (EM) Bokashi (5 Mg ha⁻¹), balanced NPK (Nitrogen,... More

Abstract: Citrus peel residues are among the most abundant agro-industrial by-products, and their sustainable valorization offers a promising strategy to mitigate environmental impacts while generating value-added products for agriculture and health. In this study, approximately 130 lemon fruits were harvested from three representative orchards in the Pre-Rif region (Taza, Morocco) in March 2022. In each orchard,... More
