This study prepared activated carbon from H3PO4-activated rice husks (AC-RH) to adsorb methylene blue (MB) and predicted the adsorption mechanism. The AC-RH was characterized for N2 adsorption, surface functional groups, chemical compositions, and surface morphology. The activated carbon was classified to be a mesoporous material because 87% of its pore volume diameters are 3-50 nm. MB adsorption was studied under different conditions. Optimal MB adsorption occurred at pH 8, and the ideal equilibrium time was 360 min. The equilibrium adsorption was evaluated at concentrations of MB between 25 and 200 mg/L at 30°C. The Freundlich isotherm model matched the equilibrium data, and the greatest adsorption capacity of the Langmuir isotherm was 26.31 mg/g. The kinetic analysis revealed that the adsorption was pseudo-second-order, and its rate constant (k2) was higher at higher temperatures. For the thermodynamic adsorption study at 20 to 40°C, the Gibbs free energy (G) values were -6.291 to -9.197 kJ/mol, and the activation energy (Ea) was 26.248 kJ/mol: therefore, the methylene blue adsorption was spontaneous and physical. This study also revealed that the adsorption mechanisms were H-bonding, pore-filling, Yoshida H-bonding, n- interactions, electrostatic, and cation exchange.","PeriodicalId":11784,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Natural Resources Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135428274","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 study assessed the rate and extent of LULC changes over the past 12 years and simulated future scenarios in Dalat City, Lam Dong Province, Vietnam by using an integrated model of Markov chain and logistics regression. Three land-use maps used to analyze land-use change were extracted from satellite images in 2010, 2016, and 2022 by classification approach. The outcome of this process indicates a significant increase in agricultural and built-up land of 48.22 km2 and 9.36 km2, respectively; a decrease in forest land of 55.61 km2, and a minor change in water bodies and bare land in the 2010-2022 period. Prediction maps of land-use change in 2028 and 2034 are generated after the model is validated by comparing the actual map with the prediction map of LULC in 2022 using Kappa statistics. Transition of forest area to other land use types, especially land for expansion of built-up and agricultural land is the crucial trend of land-use change in the future according to the forecast model. Compared to 2022, forest area in 2034 will decrease by 60.65 km2 while built-up and agricultural land will increase by 14.07 km2 and 43.61 km2, respectively. The research results provide valuable information as a foundation for land-use policy planning and local urban development to ensure sustainable development objectives.","PeriodicalId":11784,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Natural Resources Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135427886","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}

However, uncertainty remains about soil carbon stocks due to spatial variability. This study estimated soil carbon stocks in agricultural land and examined the impact of land use and soil properties on soil organic carbon in Ratchaburi Province, Thailand. Soil samples were collected at three depths (0-10, 10-20, and 20-30 cm) within five different land use types: cassava, coconut, paddy fields, pineapple, and sugarcane. The results revealed that soil organic carbon decreased with increasing depth. Significant differences in soil carbon and soil properties were observed among land uses. The carbon stocks at 0-30 cm depth were as follows: coconut (35.87 mg C/ha), paddy fields (31.17 mg C/ha), sugarcane (28.02 mg C/ha), pineapple (21.79 mg C/ha), and cassava (16.12 mg C/ha). The carbon stocks were significantly correlated with sand, density, clay, silt, and pH. This study highlights the impact of land use types on carbon stocks in agricultural soils and emphasizes the role of soil properties, particularly soil texture, in influencing carbon storage variability. Furthermore, the study highlights the carbon storage potential in agricultural areas, which could guide the formulation of policies to utilize agricultural land to offset CO2 emissions from other sectors.","PeriodicalId":11784,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Natural Resources Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49326083","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}

We examined the relationships between tree species and environments after the abandonment of a plot of land at the Mae Klong Watershed Research Station, Western Thailand. Vegetation monitoring was conducted every two years on a 16-ha permanent plot established in 2011 until 2019. All trees with diameter at breast height (DBH)≤1 cm were measured. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) was performed to investigate the relationships between tree species and environments. We found a total of 199 tree species in the plot, which comprised both pioneer and climax species. The high tree density and low basal area were 1,280 stem/ha and 7.30 m2/ha, respectively. During 2011-2019, the species richness and total tree density were decreased by nine species (from 206 to 197 species) and 83 stem/ha (from 1,120 to 1,037 stem/ha). In contrast, the total basal area increased from 6.41 to 7.26 stem/ha. According to the measured environmental variables, mixed deciduous species such as Pterocarpus macrocarpus and Xylia xylocarpa var. kerrii preferred higher elevations and drier sites compared to dry evergreen species such as Dipterocarpus alatus. Early colonizing species such as Trema orientalis and Ficus species exhibited rapid population decreases, whereas climax species such as Lagerstroemia tomentosa exhibited highly successful regeneration under natural conditions. Artificial reforestation efforts may be required in areas with large disturbance, including the planting of mixed tree species to promote natural regeneration and reduce the recovery period.","PeriodicalId":11784,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Natural Resources Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47909791","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}

The results suggested that compared to the current average groundwater recharge, the groundwater recharge estimates from scenario 1 (changing the miscellaneous areas of mostly wasteland to mixed perennial areas) and scenario 2 (predicting the land use scenario for the next 10 years based on trends of land use change from the past to the present) were greater by 1.46 and 2.25%, respectively. In scenario 1, the increase in forest and mixed perennial areas increased the groundwater recharge by helping to slow down the surface runoff and, thus, increased the chances of water seepage into the soil. However, increasing the perennial area or turning wasteland into mixed perennial area (scenario 1), resulted in an increase in the groundwater recharge that was similar to the results from simulating future land use scenarios in the next 10 years (scenario 2). Therefore, to increase the efficiency of groundwater management and drought relief, the relevant agencies should adopt appropriate land use planning, be encouraged to plant perennials or support mixed farming on wasteland, restore degraded forest areas, and improve the management of water use concurrently.","PeriodicalId":11784,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Natural Resources Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135255329","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}

The study assessed the effects of climate change on the socioeconomic livelihoods and adaptive capacity of Xuan Tu, a community located in South Central Vietnam. The assessment employed the social vulnerability index (SVI) and adaptive capacity index (ACI). A hybrid data collection approach was utilized to gather information from households, and a composite method was employed to aggregate the data, enabling an assessment of community vulnerability. The findings indicated exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity index values of 0.16, 0.34, and 0.26, respectively. The community exhibited a moderate vulnerability to climate change, with a social vulnerability index of 0.43. Notably, economic sufficiency, access to social groups, and level of education emerged as significant factors in reducing social vulnerability. To adapt to climate change, the community modified their fish feeding practices, fish culture methods, increased technology usage, and diversified their sources of income. However, the study identified a lack of institutional support as a significant obstacle to the community's autonomous adaptation. Based on these results, the study recommends livelihood diversification and the implementation of planned adaptation strategies to enhance preparedness for climate emergencies in South Central Vietnam.","PeriodicalId":11784,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Natural Resources Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48497611","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}

Arsenic is one of heavy metals that is highly toxic and carcinogenic. Arsenic contamination in the environment is harmful to human health because it can enter the body through the food chain. This study determined the concentration of arsenic in soil and rice and its impact on human health risks. Sampling was carried out in several East Java industrial cities or districts, for instance, Gresik, Mojokerto, Sidoarjo, Nganjuk, Ponorogo, and Surabaya. The measurement of arsenic in soil was done using Energy Dispersive X-Ray fluorescence (EDXRF), while the measurement of arsenic in rice was done by Total X-Ray Fluorescence (TXRF). The results showed that arsenic concentration in several areas of East Java has varying levels. The concentration of arsenic in soil was highest in Gresik (13,786 mg/kg). The highest arsenic concentration in rice was found in Mojokerto (0.154 mg/kg). The results of risk assessment in this study showed that the Hazard Quotient (HQ) value was >1 and the Excess Cancer Risk (ECR) was >10-4 in all areas at the age of children <2 years. Health risk assessment of adults showed HQ>1 and ECR>10-4 in several areas of East Java. This indicates that consumption of rice contaminated with arsenic has the potential to pose non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks.","PeriodicalId":11784,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Natural Resources Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42191284","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}

A preliminary study was carried out to find the optimal conditions for experiments. For 50 mL samples with 2.35 ppm As, the optimal values of pH, adsorption time, and amount of adsorbent were pH 7, 30 min, and 50 mg, respectively. The ratio between the amount of adsorbent and well water in this study showed a superior As adsorption capacity (1 g/L, 2.1 mg/g) compared to similar adsorbents reported previously (12.5 g/L, 1.0-1.4 mg/g). Among the adsorbents, KOH-treated AC-Mn3O4 exhibited the best performance in As removal with an efficiency of ~95%. The oxide particles had a synergistic effect with GAC on As removal. This was primarily due to the change in the potential of partially agglomerated nano Mn3O4 particles on the ACK surface. The influence of the surface area of the adsorbents was not pronounced. All results were explained in terms of microstructure, specific surface area, and zeta potential. This finding could be extended to other activated carbons (AC) obtained from different sources.","PeriodicalId":11784,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Natural Resources Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48422366","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}
