Forest Degradation Index: A Tool for Forest Vulnerability Assessment in Indian Western Himalaya
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
The global climate is showing altered temperatures and precipitation levels. Forests can be a stabilizing force in climate change. They regulate the nutrient cycle, protect species and diversity, and support livelihoods ...
Tracking spatio-temporal dynamics of harmful algal blooms using long-term MODIS observations of Chaohu Lake in China from 2000 to 2021
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have long been a critical threat to environmental safety and health, especially in inland lakes with rapidly growing socioeconomic development. Although satellite remote sensing provides an ...
Mapping of aeolian deposits of an industrial site in the arid region using the TIR bands of ASTER and study of physicochemical characters and stabilization of sand erosion
(
Taylor and Francis Group
, 2022 , Article)
This study describes the spectral emissive character of silicate and carbonate minerals of aeolian deposits and maps the deposits and sand encroachments that occurred in and around the site 5/6 of Qatar Fertilizer Company ...
Identification of key altered/weathered minerals near to the base metal mineral in Jahazpur, India using AVIRIS-NG data
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Hydrothermally altered minerals are invariably associated with base metal mineralization. The narrow spectral resolution of Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging spectrometer -Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) facilitates the ...

(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
The contradiction between ecological conservation and economic development posed significant challenges to the management of National Parks. From the perspective of Ecological Economics, the cause of the contradiction is ...
The Adsorption Potential of Cr from Water by ZnO Nanoparticles Synthesized by Azolla pinnata
(2022 , Article)
Aqueous solutions containing toxic elements (TEs) (such as hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) can be toxic to humans even at trace levels. Thus, removing TEs from the aqueous environment is essential for the protection of ...
The impacts of water level fluctuations from paddy fields and aquaculture ponds on wetland habitats for wintering waterbirds: Implications for wetland management
(
Frontiers Media
, 2022 , Article)
The distribution and composition of wetland habitats for wintering waterbirds are heavily influenced by water level fluctuations. Through polder construction and aquaculture activities, paddy fields and aquaculture ponds ...
Mapping of trace elements in topsoil of arid areas and assessment of ecological and human health risks in Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
