Arsenic is a toxic metalloid naturally found in the earth's crust and released into environment through natural anthropogenic activities.Arsenic becomes exceptionally even at low exposure levels because of its high water solubility bioaccumulation tendency different environmental matrices.Crops receiving arsenic contaminated irrigation accumulate it degrees depending on species variety.Consumption crops drinking has been identified as important routes for transfer food chain.Besides,...
Global demand for freshwater is rapidly escalating. It highly essential to keep pace with the necessities of increasing population. The effluents wastewater are gradually identified as a reservoir resources energy generation and economic boom. Henceforth, most sludge have great potential reuse recycling. re-utilization valorization contribute accomplishing sustainable development goals, combating water scarcity, alleviating adverse environmental impacts on components. present article...
Abstract Assessing the effects of land use and cover (LULC) on ecosystem service values (ESVs) is critical for public understanding policymaking. This study evaluated impacts LULC dynamics ESVs in Chandigarh city India. The assessment changes was performed by analyzing satellite imagery area years 1990 2020 with different band combinations ArcGIS (10.8 version software). In addition, we analyzed services which were based classes area. Five identified present (Water bodies, forest vegetation,...
The assessment of tree biomass and its carbon (C) stock at the local regional level is considered a crucial criterion for understanding impact changing environments on global cycle. In this context, we selected three sites in western Himalayas, covering parts Himachal Pradesh north-eastern Haryana. Each study site experiences distinct climatic conditions, vegetation types, elevations. We seek to elucidate determinants across different forest types Western Himalayas. found that temperate...
Summary The application of a filter‐based assembly model is promising concept to support ecological restoration. filters illustrate dispersal, abiotic and biotic constraints that narrow down the species pool determine realized composition. aim restoration interventions manipulation achieve target. We tested applicability in endemic Pannonian sandy grassland on old‐fields. report results six‐year experiment identify key find possible interactions. Treatments included following: (i) seeding...
