Existing assessments often examine rainfall, runoff response, spatial hazard, and ecological functions separately, limiting integrated flood-risk reduction and land-use planning. This study aims to 1) analyze areal rainfall frequency for 1995-2025 using the Annual Maximum Series of 24-hour Rainfall (R24/AMS), the Log-Pearson Type III (LP-III) distribution, and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) goodness-of-fit test; 2) generate a preliminary regional-scale runoff hydrograph using the Nakayasu Synthetic Unit Hydrograph (SUH) to characterize event magnitude and response timing under design rainfall; and 3) map flood-hazard zones using GIS-based weighted overlay scoring that integrates hydrological, geomorphological, and ecological parameters. Rainfall records indicate interannual variability and repeated ≥150 mm/24 h events, including 447 mm on 07/03/2024 and 261 mm on 25/11/2025. Design 24-hour rainfall increases from 160.87 to 334.14 mm across 2-50-year return periods, producing 4-hour intensities of 22.13-45.97 mm/h. The preliminary Nakayasu scenario yields peak discharges of approximately 135-250 m³/s with short times to peak and should be interpreted as screening evidence rather than basin-specific engineering estimates. The flood-hazard map classifies 537.97 km² (77.41%) as Safe, 96.74 km² (13.92%) as Low, 36.76 km² (5.29%) as Moderate, and 23.49 km² (3.38%) as High. Moderate- and high-hazard areas cluster in fluvial-marine lowlands such as floodplains, backswamps, coastal alluvium, river corridors, and estuaries.

A spatially distributed landscape implementation of the UK higher tier drainflow environmental risk assessment modelling framework at 1 km resolution was developed for three example pesticide active substances and used to derive substance-specific drainflow risk index (DFRI) maps covering GB. The DFRI mapping approach comprised of: (A) definition of high-resolution landscape scenarios in the drainflow simulation modelling that would underpin the DFRI; and (B) construction of 2 and 3 class bivariate DFRI aligned with the existing GB regulatory approach for use in field scale risk assessment and communication. Visual comparison of the DFRI maps for the three active substances indicates the influence of substance properties, with the mobile non-persistent substance demonstrating large areas of safe use, while the slightly-mobile moderately persistent substance demonstrated less low-risk areas. Across all three substance DFRI maps, there are locations where no/few drained soils are present, indicating inherently safe usage locations exist alongside the low-risk areas. A limiting factor of the DFRI approach is the reliance on generalised soil association data as being an accurate representation of the soils actually present at a location. The DFRI approach offers an opportunity to move away from a binary regulatory decision of a product being registered or not, to one that allows use in locations where it is safe to do so, while prohibiting use in those locations where it is not. This more targeted approach would allow users access to a wider range of crop protection options to leverage greater benefits whilst simultaneously reducing risks to aquatic habitats.

Here we introduce the ERAHUMED model, a modeling platform designed to assess the ecological risks of pesticide mixtures associated with rice farming at the landscape scale. The model uses the Albufera Natural Park (Valencia, Spain), one of the most important Mediterranean coastal wetlands, as a reference area. ERAHUMED integrates a hydrological module, an agricultural management module, a three-compartment (plant, water, sediment) pesticide exposure module, and a risk assessment module that employs both deterministic and probabilistic approaches for calculating pesticide risks. The model's novelty lies in its capacity to evaluate how different agrochemical management practices, including various pesticide application schemes and spatial crop patterns, along with landscape architecture, climate, and hydrological variations, influence pesticide exposure and associated risks to aquatic ecosystems. Here, we detail the model's core principles, its calibration and validation using monitoring data, and present two application case studies. These case studies demonstrate how the model can be used to compare the ecological risks posed by old and current pesticide application schemes at the landscape scale, as well as to assess the influence of extreme climatic events on pesticide exposure and risks in downstream water bodies. The model is implemented as an R package with an integrated Shiny-based graphical user interface. This implementation enables efficient landscape-scale evaluations of pesticide application schemes, agricultural management practices, and their associated ecological risks for a broad range of users, with a particular focus on researchers and environmental managers aimed at minimizing pesticide risks.</p>","PeriodicalId":13557,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148766326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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 investigated capsule flotation across 40 rice paddy fields in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. Accumulated capsule stocks in soil and water depth jointly controlled capsule mobilization to the water surface during puddling. Water depth explained a proportion of variation comparable to or greater than that explained by soil capsule concentration, indicating strong hydrological control on mobilization. The proportion of floating capsules increased with increasing water depth, and segmented regression identified a change point at approximately 8 cm under the conditions of this study, suggesting a shift in flotation behavior. Comparative analysis among fields with different management histories, together with polymer-specific indicators of soil residence time, suggested that longer soil residence is associated with lower flotation potential. Accordingly, recently accumulated capsules exhibited greater mobility than long-residence particles. These findings demonstrate that microplastic mobilization during puddling is governed by the interaction between accumulated particle stocks, hydrological conditions, and time-dependent particle properties. Consequently, agricultural microplastic discharges cannot be predicted from accumulated particle stocks alone but require explicit consideration of hydrological controls on mobilization.

A semi-systematic review of scientific and grey literature was conducted to map the wider values and their economic impacts as well as economic valuation methods that have been used to monetize them while assessing potential biases, knowledge gaps and future research directions. This study contributes to the literature by providing a structured synthesis that links wider values of BRR with economic valuation methods, uncertainty considerations, and their integration into business case development. The review shows that there is a broad range of wider values linked to BRR and alternative future land uses, many of which can be monetized using various monetary valuation methods, though difficult to monetize benefits such as biodiversity and soil health improvements are underrepresented. A simplified framework is proposed to demonstrate how accounting for wider values from an economic perspective can strengthen the economic case for BRR, particularly at vacant or underutilized land with lower financial potential. Value transfer is highlighted as a promising valuation method where resources are limited, but a probabilistic approach is recommended to account for uncertainties by considering representative values for ranges (e.g., mean, mode or median values) instead of transferring highly variable point estimates. It is also recommended to carefully consider the economic valuation method for the specific project context, as some valuation estimates and methods using direct, cost-based methods like market pricing, replacement cost, etc., are highly site-specific and could be replicated using site-specific information instead of value transfer.

In the European context, Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) and the EU Ecolabel represent influential but conceptually distinct instruments that may yield divergent conclusions when applied to the same product system, potentially challenging transparent and consistent decision-making. This study examines the extent to which such divergences arise from differences in assessment logic rather than from conflicting scientific evidence, using a structured case study of a representative consumer product formulation. An integrated assessment approach was applied, combining exposure-informed regulatory risk characterization with life-cycle-based toxicity prioritization. Occupational and environmental risks were quantified using established regulatory tools (Chesar® and EUSES 2.1.2), while potential human toxicity and freshwater ecotoxicity impacts were evaluated using USEtox® characterization factors. Results indicate that regulatory acceptability thresholds were achieved for nearly all modeled exposure scenarios, with a marginal exceedance of the average dermal risk characterization ratio observed for Cocamidopropyl betaine under conservative occupational exposure assumptions. In contrast, life-cycle toxicity indicators revealed marked differences in relative substance contributions to potential human and ecological impacts, reflecting intrinsic hazard and fate properties rather than exposure-driven risk. The comparative analysis demonstrates that apparent inconsistencies between SSbD and EU Ecolabel outcomes are primarily attributable to differences in decision logic, assessment scope, and the weighting of hazard-, exposure-, and life-cycle-based information. Building on these findings, a conceptual integration model is proposed to support transparent interpretation and reconciliation of assessment results across frameworks. The study contributes to ongoing discourse within the environmental assessment community by illustrating how complementary use of regulatory risk assessment and life-cycle toxicity indicators can enhance chemical risk management, reduce misalignment between policy instruments, and support more informed and consistent sustainability-oriented decisions.</p>","PeriodicalId":13557,"journal":{"name":"Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148684436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

The OECD QSAR Toolbox yielded more acceptable chronic toxicity predictions than VEGA, yet both exhibited weaker correlations with experimental data than the ACR-based approach. Predictive performance of the in silico models improved when analyzing the subgroup of MoA 1 substances for algae.
