This study focuses on sustaining glacial landforms and paraglacial processes in the Byans Valley of upper Kali Ganga catchments. Limited glacial action-induced terrain change and infrequent paraglacial events occurred in the lower region. On the contrary, paraglacial processes were highly active in the highest regions where a mountain style of glaciation was established, producing a large number of moraine and rock glaciers. The primary aim of this study is to identify the glacial landforms since they have unique characteristics that are especially tied to glacial processes and act as indicators of climate change. The glacial chronology from the Central Himalayan regions indicate that the last major glacial advance probably occurred during the Late Holocene. Following this, the deglaciation is represented by the recessional moraine, outwash plain, and the proglacial lakes proximal to the present glacier, which can be attributed to the warming climate. The presence of moraine mounds in the vicinity of the modern snout probably represents a minor re-advancement during the Little Ice Age (LIA). The geomorphic expression of a steady decline in ice cover is eloquently manifested by the presence of the supra-glacial lakes and the increasing size of the pro-glacial lakes. The spatial data on the glacial landform features in the region is envisioned to help with the reconstruction of a paleo-glaciological setup using dating methodologies, which will finally fill the information gap concerning the glaciation in the region.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":544,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Monitoring and Assessment","volume":"197 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144084958","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}

Rapid urbanization, population growth, changing consumption patterns, and thriving tourism have intensified the generation of municipal solid waste, contributing to the release of GHGs. This study aimed to quantify GHG emissions associated with waste management practices in the region. LCA was employed to evaluate the environmental impacts of waste management practices, identifying key areas for improvement and sustainable solutions. Contribution of waste management practices of composting, material recovery facilities, waste-to-energy, RDF facilities, landfills, incineration, and waste transportation were assessed in the state of Himachal Pradesh. The municipal solid waste management infrastructures in the state contributed to 3,98,098 tCO_2eqyr⁻¹ emissions of which waste transportation and landfills were identified as the major sources, highlighting the constraint of infrastructure in rural areas of the region. They made up 82% of all the emissions from waste management infrastructures in the state. The LCA studies confirmed that landfills for MSW were the major source of environmental incompatibility in the state. However, material recovery and fuel production practices in MSW management facilities drastically reduced the impacts on indicators, namely, abiotic depletion, acidification, freshwater aquatic ecotoxicity, human toxicity, and ozone depletion potential. The findings highlight the pressing need for efficient waste management facilities in the state to bolster climate change resilience and environmental compatibility, given the current inadequacies in infrastructure, processes, and skilled manpower.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":544,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Monitoring and Assessment","volume":"197 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144084877","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}

To mitigate these effects, decades-long afforestation campaigns have been implemented. However, the effectiveness of these efforts remains understudied, which hinders our understanding of their sustainability and replicability. This study explored the efficacy of these afforestation campaigns, usually conducted in woodlots by analyzing seven decades (1950s to 2020s) of changes in land use and land cover (LULC) in Urambo, Uyui, and Kaliua districts, which are the leading tobacco production areas. LULC classification relied on open-source data and software, utilizing Quantum GIS and Landsat imagery for 2000 and 2020, as well as country’s topographical maps of 1956 and 1976. This study adopted cadastral surveying coupled with digitization of satellite images to estimate area cover of woodlots. The study revealed a 62% decline in forest cover from 28,985 in 1956 to 8,811 sq. km in 2020. This decline is largely due to population growth, which has increased demand for land for settlement and shifting cultivation, leading to more bush and grassland. However, afforestation campaigns have deemed ineffective, as the total area reforested (455 out of 32,715 sq. km) is significantly less than the annual rate of forest loss (315 sq. km per year). The inefficiency of afforestation efforts is partly attributed to the widespread planting of eucalyptus trees, an exotic species that offers limited benefits to farmers, making it an unpopular choice for wood production, including tobacco curing. This study highlights the importance of using productive species <i>Gmelina arborea</i> (beechwood tree) in woodlots, implementing clear fallow periods, and efficient harvesting cycles in plantation forests to ensure regeneration and maintain a balanced ecosystem.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":544,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Monitoring and Assessment","volume":"197 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144084876","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}

Here, the destruction of crops, huts, death and injury of human, livestocks, and even elephants have been increased year after year. Crop-raiding incident is the most common problem among all that occurs during the <i>milky</i> stage and harvesting stage of paddy. Numerous studies have been carried out showing the pattern of HEC incident in some areas of West Bengal, but none of them have tried to identify the HEC risk depending upon crop-raiding incident in this state. Here, it has been tried to examine the mouza-wise HEC risk based on crop-raiding incident in the stated two parts of West Bengal. Two important parameters, the number of crop fields raided and the total number of crop fields present but not raided, were taken into consideration to measure the HEC risk. The result shows that the Jhargram (0.75–0.98), Medinipur (0.68–0.89), and Rupnarayan (0.68–0.89) forest divisions are the highest HEC risk areas in West Bengal. The most dominant factor as determined from the principal component analysis is the lack of fodder and other biological requirements that are one of the basic needs for survival of the elephants within the forest (0.864). The total risk for raiding crop is 3.21 and 2.93 in the two parts of West Bengal. Here, the paddy and vegetables fields are more prone to be raided. Moreover, descriptive statistics were also used to explain the patterns of crop-raiding incidents. The findings may provide a way out for the sustainable management of HEC risk like establishment of micro-habitat, creation of elephant proof trench/electric fences, and rapid plantation of indigenous plant species in the vacant forest areas, thereby helping the policymakers in wildlife conservation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":544,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Monitoring and Assessment","volume":"197 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144074103","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}

In this work, a geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) approach is proposed to detect small water bodies in RS images and generate a spatial map of it along with area statistics. The proposed approach aims to detect waterbodies of different shapes and sizes including those with vegetation cover. For this purpose, a deep neural network (DNN) is trained using the Indian Space Research Organization’s (ISRO) Cartosat—3 multispectral satellite images, which effectively extracts the boundaries of small water bodies with a mean precision of 0.92 and overall accuracy over 96%. A comparative analysis with other popular existing methods using the same data demonstrates the superior performance of the proposed method. The proposed GeoAI approach efficiently generates a map of small water bodies automatically from the input satellite image which can be utilized for monitoring and management of these micro water resources.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":544,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Monitoring and Assessment","volume":"197 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144073888","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}

This study provides a comprehensive report on the presence of SAMPs in the Binhai New Area of Tianjin, China, based on samples collected during the autumn and winter of 2023–2024 using a medium-flow total suspended particulate (TSP) sampler at a monitoring station. Microplastics were detected in all samples, with concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 1.8 items/m³ in autumn and from 0.1 to 1.1 items/m³ in winter, and a total mean of 0.6 ± 0.4 items/m³. Particle sizes spanned 12.28–3248.58 µm, with fibrous shapes dominating the morphological composition. Observed colors included black, blue, yellow, transparent, red, and green, with black microplastics being the most prevalent. These SAMPs were composed of polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene, rayon, polypropylene, and ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer. A risk assessment indicated that residents of Binhai New Area, Tianjin City, face a measurable health risk from microplastic exposure. Significant correlations were identified between SAMPs and dew point temperature as well as relative humidity in the autumn. In the winter, significant correlations were observed between the abundance of SAMPs and ground barometric pressure and wind velocity.

Phytoremediation, using green plants as solar-powered bioreactors, offers a sustainable reclamation method. However, managing the biomass generated post-remediation remains a challenge.

This research evaluates 13 non-edible bioenergy crops for their Cr⁶⁺ remediation efficacy, mechanisms, and post-remediation biomass management. These crops, including Jatropha curcas, Pongamia pinnata, and Ricinus communis, produce biodiesel from seeds, while others like Salix viminalis and Arundo donax yield bioethanol from biomass. Biodiesel yields from <i>J. curcas</i>, <i>P. pinnata</i>, <i>M. ferrea</i>, <i>R. communis</i>, <i>E. camaldulensis</i>, <i>C. flexuosus</i>, and <i>J. gossypiifolia</i> range from 23.9% to 75%. Bioethanol yields from <i>S. viminalis</i>, <i>A. donax</i>, <i>T. domingensis</i>, <i>T. angustifolia</i>, and <i>T. latifolia</i> vary from 3.19 to 51 g/L. These plants demonstrate significant Cr⁶⁺ uptake and detoxification through phytoremediation mechanisms such as phytoextraction, rhizofiltration, and phytostabilization, offering an eco-friendly alternative to conventional methods. Simultaneously, their biomass serves as feedstock for biodiesel, bioethanol, and bio-oil production, contributing to renewable energy systems. This synergy reduces risks of secondary pollution and aligns with global sustainability goals. The study emphasizes optimizing biomass conversion techniques, managing post-remediation residues, and leveraging genetic engineering to enhance plant efficacy.
