This study examines the depletion of floodplain wetlands within the Hastinapur Wildlife Sanctuary (HWLS) in Uttar Pradesh. Encroachment activities such as grazing, agriculture, and human settlements have fragmented and degraded critical wetland ecosystems. Additionally, irrigation projects, dam construction, and water diversion have disrupted natural water flow and availability. To assess wetland inundation in 2023, five classification techniques were employed: Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), artificial neural network (ANN), Spectral Information Divergence (SID), and Maximum Likelihood Classifier (MLC). SVM emerged as the most precise method, as determined by kappa coefficient and index-based validation. Consequently, the SVM classifier was used to model wetland inundation areas from 1983 to 2023 and analyze spatiotemporal changes and fragmentation patterns. The findings revealed that the SVM classifier accurately mapped 2023 wetland areas. The modeled time-series data demonstrated a 62.55 % and 38.12 % reduction in inundated wetland areas over the past 40 years in the pre- and post-monsoon periods, respectively. Fragmentation analysis indicated an 86.27 % decrease in large core wetland areas in the pre-monsoon period, signifying severe habitat degradation. This rapid decline in wetlands within protected areas raises concerns about their ecological impacts. By linking wetland loss to global sustainability objectives, this study underscores the global urgency for strengthened wetland protection measures and highlights the need for integrating wetland conservation into broader sustainable development goals. Effective policies and adaptive management strategies are crucial for preserving these ecosystems and their vital services, which are essential for biodiversity, climate regulation, and human well-being.</p>","PeriodicalId":15788,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Sciences-china","volume":"159 ","pages":"322-338"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145176114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We characterized the physicochemical properties of Mediterranean waters influenced by lagoon outflow and analysed seagrass structural and physiological parameters (shoot density, meadow cover, shoot size, and nitrogen content and isotopic signatures) across 29 sites with historical data from 2004 onward.

Hypersaline, nutrient-rich waters extended up to 1.8 km offshore, affecting tens of hectares of seagrass habitat, as evidenced by δ<sup>15</sup>N values. Plants in this area showed signs of chronic stress, including nitrogen accumulation and reduced shoot size, likely resulting from hypersalinity, nutrient loading, and persistent light limitation. Structural degradation was also apparent, with shoot density and cover markedly lower than pre-crisis conditions. Long-term monitoring (2012-2020) confirmed that these changes followed the lagoon collapse and the extreme turbidity and reduced light availability associated with massive algal blooms.

In this context, this study aimed to investigate the temporal variability and ecotoxicological risks associated with the presence of cocaine (COC) and its main metabolite, benzoylecgonine (BEN), in the recreational coastal waters of Santos Bay, in southeastern Brazil. Four sampling campaigns were conducted between July 2023 and April 2024. COC and BEN were consistently detected across all samples, with concentrations ranging from 14.0 to 110.1 ng/L and 29.1 to 154.0 ng/L, respectively, indicating their widespread presence and environmental relevance as contaminants of emerging concern. Ecotoxicological risk assessment based on acute toxicity data revealed that both compounds pose significant risks across all tested trophic levels (algae, invertebrates and fish). Specifically, COC presented moderate risk to algae and fish, and high risk to crustaceans, while BEN showed moderate risk to algae and high risk to fish. In contrast, chronic toxicity assessments indicated low ecological risk for algae, with negligible risk for other organisms, for both compounds. Additionally, mixture toxicity evaluation of COC and BEN suggested a high acute risk, but a low chronic risk associated with their combined presence. The scarcity of ecotoxicological data for marine species, especially tropical organisms, remains a major limitation for comprehensive risk characterization. Therefore, this study highlights the urgent need for further toxicological research to support regulatory frameworks and environmental protection in marine tropical ecosystems.</p>","PeriodicalId":18215,"journal":{"name":"Marine pollution bulletin","volume":"221 ","pages":"118533"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144804410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
