Sound is an important thing our lives such as hearing the birds chirp and the sound of a smoke alarm is a wonderful thing, but the noise is usually referred to unpleasant or unwanted sounds. The industrialization and urbanization have made the world full noise as it is called as noise pollution and a serious environmental issue. Noises like an airplane flying over, train passing through living houses, honking cars, loud music, construction and a barking dog etc. are considered as noise pollution. According to the World Health Organization levels of noise pollution in some cities present danger and are seriously harming human health and activity. Noise pollution can cause several health conditions the two most common among them being hearing loss and tinnitus...... ReadMore

It is established that the climate depends on greenhouse gases. Few people think that water evaporation is also gas. Their volumes exceed carbon dioxide emissions by 18,000 times [1]. There is a strong opinion that the evaporation of the oceans exceeds the evaporation from land because 3 times the area of the oceans exceeds the area of inhabited land. However, recently it was reported that the total area of leaves of vegetation increases the land area by 3 times. It follows that both the land and the oceans evaporate from the same area. Evaporated before the development of the industry...... ReadMore

The root-knot disease of mulberry (Morus alba L., Cv.‘S1’) caused by Meloidogyne incognita Kofoid & white, Chitwood is very wide spread affecting more than 80% plantation in different parts in India. This disease reduces plant growth, leaf-yield and leaf-protein content significantly. The use of chemical pesticides may achieve a measure of control of those mulberry diseases but there remain the problems. To move forward, it will require new and more efficient solutions, technologies and products. Our best endeavor is to focus on the Cowpea plants which may have important economic implications for sericulture in future. Cowpea (Vigna ungyculata L.) cv.5269 and mulberry were alternately grown together along a ring in a large circular vessel; M. incognita larvae (J2) were applied as an inoculum at the center of the ring so that all the plant.....

The book “The legacy of Sochava - Volume I. The Theory of Geosystems in the vision of Viktor Borisovich Sochava” (J.M. Mateo & E.V. da Silva, 2019) launched by the Federal University of Ceará in Fortaleza (Brazil), arises from a claim by a group of Brazilian geographers and environmentalists to know the essence of the Theory of Geosystems proposed in the early 60s of the twentieth century by the Soviet scientist V.B. Sochava.In this regard, some information had been published in several papers, but they did not give a complete idea of the theoretical-methodological foundation established by Sochava. On the other hand, interpretations of the notion of the geosystem that did not correspond to the fundamental essence of the concept had arisen...... ReadMore

In this work, the relation between honey bees, population of plant species, collected pollen and its protein content was studied. There have been established two negative and two positive correlations of the analyzed plant species which have been most visited and naturally populated. It can be said that the bees collect the same amount pollen from these plant species regardless of its high or low protein content. The analysis not found difference and there is no relation between amount of collected pollen and its protein content. The quantity collected pollen by the bees depends on the population of the certain plants that bees visit. We have to consider the differences in the discoveries of bees-scouts, when searching for new crops, flower type, the number of flowers, bees’ direct access pass, the distance to the hives, ecological fact.....

The word environment has been an illusion within many people in societies from years to years, especially media and policy directions extending it wrong understanding all over, making it difficult for measures on environmental protection to hold effective and efficient grounds. For instance, efforts to fight against climate change, land degradation and desertification had not achieved effective outcomes. This paper drew some insights from the dictionary and Wikipedia as the basic point and uses many different research studies to argue that the environment is a “state” of the earth surface within ecosystems, which changes with time. It reviews my research studies from many landscape monitoring assessments of Ecosystem Services (ES) to justify that soil, water, air, plant, animals and humans are agents (multi-agents) of the earth surfac.....

Bryophlora of the surveyed undergrowth was mainly represented by only species-moss Brachitecim salebrosum (Hoffm. ex F. Weber & D. Mohr) Schimp. It occurred only near the soil on stem bases of the investigated understory. The bryophyte cover was independent from the species identity of the undergrowth, but depended on the local level of anthropogenic impact, which expressed mainly in removing of died adult trees. It was revealed that the moss occurred on the undergrowth only on the experimental plots (each of 0,01 ha), where during last three years no less than 4 trees had died and were removed. So, it may be a good test of the level of anthropogenic pressure in a managed forest coenosis...... ReadMore

The Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region has significant implications for the agro based economies of eight adjoining countries, because of their large dependence on irrigation water originating in the HKH region. However, the HKH region is extremely vulnerable to climate change impacts, which is evident through frequent floods, droughts and retreating glaciers, thus leaving negative consequences for agriculture and livelihood. It is also evident that the traditional farming methods are no longer sustainable to cope with the changing climatic conditions for sustainable production in hill ecology. Therefore, innovative farming technique and irrigation technologies needs to be adopted for mitigating climate change impacts on agriculture and for ensuring food security. Although some pioneer work has been done in developing and promoting improved..... ReadMore

Water pollution gained worldwide attention due to the severity of the concern where many places of the world are going through the drought and groundwater pollution. Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). PPCPs are the unadorned and noxious pollutants, although water purification processes by various techniques as bioremediation, phytoremediation, conventional wastewater treatment etc. are taking place. For PPCPs, there are no specific method is discovered yet where convention treatment is found inappropriate for the same. This research will lead the PPCPs removal from the industrial wastewater, which comprises the photo catalysis as well as absorbent method. Photo catalysis, an emerging concept is trusted as effective treatment methods for the removal and determination of PPCPs from wastewater treatment because of the effici..... ReadMore

In this study, we demonstrated the early stage wheat rust diagnosis using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Wheat rust is a common disease, caused by parasitic fungus and reduces crop yield up to 30 to 40 percent by effecting leaf and stem of plant. The wheat seed having fungus are the carrier of rust infection for the plant. The infected seed and rust fungus not only reduce food quantity but effect its quality. In our experimental research, the wheat leaf sample of day 10, 27, 35 and 45 were analyzed. The rust appears after day 24 on leaf, and rusted leaf has higher surface roughness than the normal one. We analyzed shape, surface structure of normal and rusted wheat leaf surface with AFM. The leaf protein and structure with high-resolution AFM imaging under controlled enviro..... ReadMore

Organochlorine pesticide (OCP) was first synthesized in 1884, however, its use became evident during the 2nd World war when it was used as an insecticide in controlling various vector borne diseases such as malaria and typhus [1]. The post war era saw OCP being used extensively in the agricultural sector as a potent pesticide in addition to its use in indoor residual sprays (IRS) for vector control [1]. The adverse effects on human health and environment caused by OCP led to an international call for its ban in late 1960s [2]. Though this ban was implemented in most developed countries, OCP is still widely used in developing countries because of its low cost, easy availability and effectiveness as pesticides and vector control [2]. India alone uses over 88,000 metric tons of pesticide annually out of which 70% constitutes of OCP [3]. The ..... ReadMore

Studies have been conducted in the arid zone of Azerbaijan (Gobustan), where wind erosion is characteristic, which, together with environmental pollution, contributes to the expansion of greenhouse gases and leads to the degradation of pastures. Characterized by the process of sowing perennial legume grasses, improving the nutritional regime of the soil, activating nitrification, microbiological processes and preventing soil erosion. The “greenhouse effect” is a natural phenomenon in which certain gases in the lower atmosphere prevent some of the heat energy radiated from the Earth from escaping. The human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases (CO2, methane, nitrous oxide, and some industrial gases) have over the last few centuries added to this effect, making global temperatures warmer than they wou.....

The southern limits of the distribution of the Snow Bunting Plectrophenax nivalis in Eurasia are determined by the light regime of the region - outside the zone of the polar day the birds will not come to a state of sexual activity. Northern limits of the range of Snow Bunting in the modern climate of the Arctic is not. The limits of Penetration to the North of the Horned Lark Eremophila alpestris glasses are determined by a set of biotopic, fodder and temperature minima, allowing to penetrate into the Arctic, but not to master most of it. The southern limits of distribution of the Red-throated Pipit Anthus cervinus are limited by the zone of the polar day defining maturation of gonads, mountain tundras of the polar Urals and bogs of the West Siberian plain.
