This study aims to model flood hazard, vulnerability, and risk in the lower Nilwala River Basin, Sri Lanka using a geographic information system (GIS) integrated multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) approach. Twenty-two sub-criteria under two criteria domains were used to derive final flood indices coupling with the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and weighted linear combination (WLC) method. The results revealed that hazard criteria play a more decisive role in risk evaluation than vulnerability criteria. Out of the total area 7.9% (32.7 km²) falls under very high and high flood risk categories while 48.7% (200.6 km²) is at moderate risk. Very high risk areas concentrated in and around Matara city since high population density with low elevation and slopes whereas Thihagoda DSD faces high risk. Majority of areas in Kirinda-Puhulwella, Akuressa, and Athuraliya DSDs are in very low to moderate risk areas. The model validation through AUC values of 0.71, 0.65, and 0.70 for FHI, FVI, and FRI has also proved that the reliability of findings. Thus, despite the inherent limitations of the GIS-MCDA based research that utilize remote sensing (RS) data findings offer valuable insights for flood hazard mitigation in the study area. It is recommend that to minimize limitations of these kind of research though integrating high-resolution RS data and improved comparison methods to achieve high accuracy in future studies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100099,"journal":{"name":"Anthropocene Science","volume":"5 1-2","pages":"85 - 108"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149163148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review evaluates the effectiveness of conservation tillage methods in improving soil health, productivity, and resilience in riverine agri-food systems by synthesizing field-based evidence and economic assessments comparing zero-till, reduced tillage, and cover cropping with conventional tillage practices. The key parameters considered include soil properties, soil organic carbon sequestration, microbial diversity, greenhouse gas emissions, and input costs. The evidence indicated that conservation tillage can enhance soil aggregate stability by 25–50%, increase soil organic carbon sequestration by 0.2–0.5 metric tons per hectare annually, and reduce soil loss rates by up to 60%. It also promotes microbial diversity by 30–50%, improves soil moisture retention by 20–35%, reduces input costs by 20–30% through lower fuel and labour requirements, and decreases greenhouse gas emissions by 15–25%. These findings suggest that conservation tillage can substantially improve soil resilience, productivity, and sustainability in flood-prone riverine agroecosystems, although initial implementation challenges may limit adoption. Promoting conservation tillage through financial incentives, farmer education, supportive policy frameworks, and locally suitable soil-management strategies can strengthen sustainable agriculture and support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to food security (SDG 2), climate action (SDG 13), responsible production (SDG 12), and life on land (SDG 15).</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":100099,"journal":{"name":"Anthropocene Science","volume":"5 1-2","pages":"1 - 27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149163151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental sites in each of the four districts were selected based on four agroecosystems: (i) rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> (T1), (ii) vegetables (T2), (iii) sugarcane (<i>Saccharum</i> spp.) (T3), and (iv) orchard-based agroecosystems (T4). Following a randomized block design (RBD), soil samples were collected from 0–15 cm and 15–30 cm depths in four replications from these agroecosystems. Results show that the soil in Varanasi recorded the highest SOC content of 1.38 and 1.31% in T4 at both depths, respectively. On the other hand, T1 soil in Azamgarh showed the lowest SOC contents of 0.34% and 0.25% at both depths. Additionally, the maximum SOC stocks of 25.6 and 24.9 Mg ha<sup>−1</sup> were observed in T4 of the Varanasi soil at both depths. These SOC stocks were 164.8 and 172.6% higher than those for the T1 treatment. In soil from Jaunpur, the available and total P content ranged from 6.91 to 16.23 kg ha<sup>−1</sup> and 12.77 to 21.14 kg ha⁻<sup>1</sup>, respectively, at the 0–15 cm soil depth.

While spatial food accessibility research has largely focused on urban areas, rural agrarian landscapes of South Asia remain significantly underexplored. Addressing this gap, the present study employs comprehensive geospatial analysis to examine the relationships between habitat density, market distribution (processed and unprocessed), and travel time accessibility in Nalanda district, Bihar, India. The methodology integrated multi-source datasets including Cartosat-2 and Cartosat-3 imagery, Google Open Buildings, Microsoft building footprints, ESA World Cover land use/land cover data, and OpenStreetMap road networks with food market locations geotagged through a KoboToolbox field survey conducted from November to December 2022. Habitat density clusters were delineated using object-based image analysis (OBIA), after which building density mapping, food market distribution analysis and raster-based network travel time modelling were applied on a common 250 m × 250 m grid to analyse food accessibility patterns across diverse rural settlement contexts. This comprehensive geospatial framework, which is rarely applied in rural food system studies, introduces a novel perspective for understanding spatial inequalities in food access. The research identified 1698 food markets (490 processed, 1208 unprocessed) across varying habitat density zones, revealing significant spatial heterogeneity in food access opportunities. Results revealed that processed markets strongly correlate with habitat density (<i>r</i> = 0.987, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.05), unprocessed showed no significant correlation (<i>r</i> = 0.877), thereby, highlighting food deserts in remote areas. Processed stores exhibited a higher mean travel time as compared to unprocessed outlets. The findings revealed spatial inequalities in rural food access with significant implications for environmental, economic, and social sustainability. The integrated geospatial approach demonstrates the value of considering multiple dimensions of accessibility simultaneously and provides a robust framework for policy-relevant food access assessment. These results support the need for region-based intervention strategies that address transportation, infrastructure and market distribution patterns to achieve equitable and sustainable rural food systems. Beyond regional relevance, the findings point to broader implications for strengthening climate resilience and enhancing rural livelihoods.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":100099,"journal":{"name":"Anthropocene Science","volume":"5 1-2","pages":"109 - 124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149163147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
