Despite concerns raised by environmentalists about its eco-hydrological impact, the plantation has expanded to cover a vast area of the nation, including farmlands and mountainous regions. Currently, around 506,000 hectares of land in Ethiopia are covered by <i>Eucalyptus</i> plantations. The growth of <i>Eucalyptus</i> plantations can be attributed to various socioeconomic, ecological, and biological factors, including the increasing demand for wood and wood products. However, this growth has also led to negative environmental consequences such as reduced surface and groundwater flow, decreased crop productivity, soil fertility degradation and depletion, and high water consumption, which can result in water scarcity. To address these environmental impacts, it is essential to select appropriate species and sites and implement proper silvicultural and land use planning before planting.

The chemical composition and microstructure of the resulting samples were characterized using XRD, EDx, and SEM. The sensor's gas-sensing performance was examined at various operating temperatures ranging from 100°C to 250°C. The results demonstrated that the sensor had optimal response in detecting H<sub>2</sub>S gas at a ratio of 1:2. Furthermore, the discussion revolved around the sensor's sensing mechanism specifically for H<sub>2</sub>S.</p>","PeriodicalId":22985,"journal":{"name":"The Scientific World Journal","volume":"2024 ","pages":"4211483"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11685313/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142915601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
