Abstract

Since the Green Revolution, higher crop production has caused a significant decrease in available soil elements. Microelement deficiencies have become a factor that limits the productivity of agricultural crops around the world. Recent advances in bionanotechnology have opened the way to the development of biocompatible foliar nanofertilisers with higher nutrient utilization efficiency. It was assumed that the applied foliar fertilisation would have a positive effect on the growth and development of plants. The application of fertiliser positively affected the parameters analysed of plant gas exchange (net photosynthesis rate (PN), transpiration rate (E), stomatal conductance (gs), intercellular conductance (Ci)) and chlorophyll content and its fluorescence (relative chlorophyll content (CCI), maximum quantum efficiency of photosystem (Fv/Fm), maximum quantum efficiency of primary photochemistry (Fv/F0), photosynthetic efficiency index (PI), total number of active absorption reaction centers (RC/ABS)). Compared to the control, in most analyses, the most stimulating effect was observed for fertiliser concentrations of 0.25 to 0.30% (except Ci – 0.35%). However, the effectiveness of the applied doses depended on the measurement date. To clearly determine the dose that will have the most stimulating effect on the analysed parameters and at the same time will not be toxic to plants, more research should be conducted, especially under field conditions.

Abstract

This study was carried out to evaluate the financial performance of centre pivot sprinkler irrigation systems in a semi-arid region. The analysis focused on financial performance indicators, including internal rates of return, benefit-cost ratio, and total yearly benefits. Specifically, the goal was to select the most appropriate irrigation system and determine the optimal crop productivity under semi-arid conditions. Field surveys were conducted during the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 harvest seasons across two sites. The fieldwork focuses on two types of irrigation systems, namely: Almutawar and Zimmatic central pivots. The internal rates of return for Almutawar and Zimmatic systems corresponded to two harvesting seasons: for the 2022/2023 season, 12.9% and 11.7%; for the 2023/2024 season, it was 11.6% and 11.5%. The benefit-cost ratio: for the 2022/2023 season it was 1.13% and 1.12%; for the 2023/2024 season it was 1.13% and 1.12%. The total annual benefit: in the season of 2022/2023 was USD159,081.47 and USD158,888.20; in the 2023/2024 were USD158,845.39 and USD159,116.69, respectively. The results obtained from this study showed that the assessment of the financial performance of these two central pivot systems was viable and cost-effective. Moreover, the Zimmatic system outperformed the Almutawar system. These financial performance ratings can help agricultural investors make informed decisions.

Abstract

The present study attempted to identify the current status and stressors affecting spring water properties in an urban area, using the example of the Warsaw agglomeration. For this purpose, they study monitored hydrological and hydrochemical properties of three springs, each draining a Quaternary porous aquifer and representing different anthropopressure across the city. The measurements of discharge and physico-chemical parameters were carried out regularly twice a month from June 2023 to May 2024, while the chemical composition, including main cations and anions, was determined once every two-month period using ion chromatography. The results documented a good agreement between the degree and timing of impact of human-induced alternations and the physico-chemical properties of spring waters. The highest total dissolved solids (TDS) and concentrations of Cl, SO42−, and Na+ were measured in the most urbanised areas. Seasonal changes in the spring water chemistry, primarily in terms of main anions, confirmed their anthropogenic origin, related to different deposition and migration over time. A comparison with archival data proved significant long-term transformation of spring properties, including gradual decrease of their discharge, increase in water temperature, and changes to the hydrochemical type. Such an evolution of groundwater quality reflects the impact of climate warming and human activities, including increase in the degree of imperviousness as a result of urbanisation, application of road maintenance chemicals, and emission of pollution to the atmosphere. The results provide the most recent insight on shallow groundwater status and stressors in Warsaw and reflect intensive modification of the aquifer system across the urban environment.

Abstract

The estimation and potential exploitation of water resources in arid and semi-arid regions, especially in the watersheds of Northern Algeria, where climatic variability affects the transformation of precipitation into river flow, needs to be based on effective management of these resources depends on understanding hydrological relationships. This must be grounded in knowledge and probable mastery of the phenomena governing their formation under local physico-geographical conditions, particularly in ungauged watershed areas.

The objective of this approach is to develop a general and regional model for estimating interannual average flow (IAF) at the level of ungauged basins. This model is based on the analysing and identifying the influence of local factors such as the surface area of the watershed, relief, geology, soils, and plant cover. Its development relies on statistical and grapho-analytical methods.

The results demonstrate that the watershed area and climatic flow are key parameters, which indicate the dependency of the climatic coefficient kobs on these two factors and give good correlations, which vary from 0.615 to 0.92. Hence, the model was established based on these two parameters and found to perform well in estimating IAF, according to the performance criteria.

Abstract

Fluvial sedimentation refers to the deposition of materials transported by water along the river, which can reduce the river’s holding capacity. Over time, the process has become a serious global issue, significantly contributing to recurrent flooding. This study aims to develop a sediment rating curve and transport model to address the high sedimentation in the Krueng Langsa River, an issue requiring urgent action. The data set includes bedload measurements using a grab sampler, suspended load collected using a 1-dm3 scale plastic bottle, hydrometric measurements using a currentmeter, as well as planned flood discharge, river geometry, and roughness. Sediment transport was modelled using the HEC-RAS 6.1 application. The results indicated sediment transport and movement (τ0 > τc). Based on the sediment rating curve, the regression equations were: Qs = 0.0707Qw2 + 109.72Qw (upstream), Qs = 0.0075Qw2 + 122.25Qw (midstream), and Qs = 0.0043Qw2 + 103.97Qw (downstream), where Qs is the sediment discharge and Qw is the water discharge. The coefficient of determination (R2) values were 0.9761 (upstream), 0.9782 (midstream), and 0.9796 (downstream), indicating an excellent correlation close to 1. The sediment transport model revealed changes in the riverbed due to sediment movement, with degradation of 0.365 m at the upstream review point (RS 346), aggradation of 1.655 m at the midstream point (RS 270), and aggradation of 0.218 m at the downstream point (RS 209). Extreme aggradation occurred at RS 364 (2.08 m), while extreme degradation occurred at RS 271 (0.482 m). The sediment rating curve and transport model provide valuable river improvement and management insights, offering a potential solution for mitigating recurrent flooding.

Abstract

Groundwater level measurement is of fundamental importance in hydrogeology. Besides, the groundwater level of the aquifer can be used for several purposes including a hydrograph plot, together with the construction of a piezometric map which is necessary in order to know the extension of the groundwater, the direction and the velocity of the flow of groundwater, as well as the area of accumulation thereof. In actual fact, hydrodynamic modelling is a tool to model groundwater flow in the studied area. Nonetheless, this modelling will make it possible to visualise the zones where the water circulates more quickly or more slowly, as well as the zones where there is a recharge or a discharge of the water table. In light of this, the results showed the direction of water movement from the northeast to the southwest with a weak slope, which suggests a slow speed in the water. Likewise, they alike demonstrated a change in the height of the water in the groundwater from 1,073 m in the northeast to 973 m in the southwest, the fact of which confirms that the areas of its accumulation are in the south of the basin, whilst the feeding areas are in the north of the basin.

Abstract

Groundwater contamination with fluoride is a major global issue, contributing to 65% of endemic fluorosis cases worldwide. This study evaluates the seasonal variations in groundwater fluoride concentrations and their connection to health risks in the Tolon District, Ghana. A total of ninety-seven groundwater samples were examined over two seasons to assess fluoride (F−) concentrations. Levels of F− varied from undetectable levels to 1.30 mg∙dm−3 and had an average of 0.24 mg∙dm−3 during the rainy season. In the dry season, it varied from undetectable levels to 2.08 mg∙dm−3 and had an average of 0.36 mg∙dm−3. Significant spatial and temporal variations were observed, with lower fluoride levels in the northern part of the area and higher levels in the southern region during both seasons. Approximately 84% and 74% of samples fell into group I (optimal for dental health), and 16% and 21% into group II (moderate risk of dental fluorosis) during rainy and dry seasons, respectively. Additionally, 5% of the samples during the dry season fell into group III (high risk of dental fluorosis). Hazard quotient (HQ) values for fluoride varied widely, with higher risks observed in children compared to adults during both seasons. This study highlights that children in the Tolon district face greater risks of fluorosis than adults, emphasising the need for targeted mitigation strategies. The research contributes significantly to addressing the pressing global issue of water quality and public health, offering insights that can guide both immediate interventions and long-term sustainability efforts in affected regions.

Abstract

The extensive use of geospatial information technology in predicting erosion rates has been considerable. However, previous studies have not considered aspects of landscape connectivity based on spatial dependence in mapping erosion-prone zones. This research eliminates this weakness by using the GEE-R-GIS framework. Specifically, this experiment aims to 1) assess spatiotemporal variations in soil erosion rates in 2000 and 2020 along watersheds in the Tomini Bay region, Indonesia, 2) map soil erosion hotspots and coldspots using spatial autocorrelation for rehabilitation priority areas watershed. The findings show that 1) the spatiotemporal of soil erosion in 2000 and 2020 is primarily consistent in the central part of Central Sulawesi Province; others are spread in the western mountainous area of the study region, stretching from north to south; 2) there is a difference in the area of hotspot and coldspot between 2000 and 2020. Hotspots are mostly spatially aggregated in the southern and western regions of the research area, while coldspots are concentrated in the northern region. In 2000, hotspots covered 11.13% of the study area, with a significance class of <0.05. Coldspots occupied 28.42% of the study region with a significance class of <0.05. In 2020, the area of hotspots decreased to 9.98%, and the soil erosion coldspots increased slightly to 28.68%. Hotspots and coldspots information can be treated as a reference for spatial priority in watershed environmental rehabilitation planning.

Abstract

Studies on biodiversity and biomass productivity in ecosystems indicate that species richness and functional diversity drive ecosystem processes, including biomass productivity. Various models, such as unimodal, negative, and neutral, including complementarity and mass-ratio hypotheses, propose relationships between biodiversity and biomass. Despite numerous studies in natural and seminatural ecosystems, factors affecting biodiversity and biomass relationships remain controversial. This study analyses taxonomic and functional diversity as drivers of above-ground biomass and explores mechanisms influencing biomass production in spontaneous vegetation in post-mining mineral habitats. The study reveals that in the coal mines’ mineral novel ecosystems, the highest biomass in spontaneous vegetation is not significantly correlated with high diversity in vegetation species composition. Harsh conditions in mineral material habitats are reflected in plant species and the functional diversity of spontaneous vegetation. Successional development on post-coal mine heaps exhibits non-analogous species composition. Biotic and abiotic conditions shape gradients along which vegetation species composition is distributed, influencing functional and taxonomical diversity, and ultimately impacting biomass quality, quantity, and ecosystem function. Contrary to expectations, higher biomass is not linked to vegetation types with greater species composition diversity. Regardless of diversity measurement, areas with lower species diversity show higher accumulated biomass. This paradox suggests that factors beyond species diversity significantly impact biomass quantity in ecosystems. These findings challenge assumptions, emphasising the need for further research into specific mechanisms regulating biomass quantity in different vegetation types to refine our understanding of ecosystem dynamics.

Abstract

With the ongoing expansion of urban areas globally, industrial zones are increasingly integrated into city landscapes. These zones, characterised by a high density of industrial facilities from diverse sectors, can pose significant threats to the natural environment, particularly to aquatic ecosystems. This study aims to assess the influence of an urban area containing a designated industrial zone on spatio-temporal variations in river water chemistry and to identify critical zones of water quality degradation. The research was conducted on the Drwinka River, located in Niepołomice, southern Poland. Findings revealed abrupt shifts in water chemistry along the river, primarily driven by point-source wastewater discharges. Industrial activity led to a marked increase in water salinity, largely due to elevated concentrations of sodium chloride (NaCl). Additionally, wastewater introduced organic and inorganic forms of nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon into the river, though the negative effects of these pollutants diminished downstream. This attenuation was attributed to the buffering capacity of riparian vegetation, particularly aquatic plants (hydrophytes). Seasonal changes in catchment biological activity also had a significant impact on the concentrations of biogenic elements in the river water. Overall, the study underscores the importance of riparian zones in mitigating pollution and highlights the need for careful monitoring and management of industrial discharges within urbanised catchments

Abstract

The floodplains of Bangka Island, which are inhabited by endemic and native fish species, are increasingly threatened by several landscape change and waste pollution. Therefore, the investigation into fish diversity using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding and traditional sampling is required. eDNA samples were obtained from surface waters of Kurau and Bikang Rivers in Bangka Regency using a metaprobe with sterile gauze (10×10 cm). The extracted DNA products were amplified using Tele02 forward and reverse primers at annealing temperature of 54°C. The resulting polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products were cleaned, attached to adapters, and sequenced with the Next Generation Sequencing Illumina MiSeq platform. The total of 385,661 reads were initially generated using the Divisive Amplicon Denoising Algorithm 2 (DADA2). After the quality control (QC) process, 25.5% of the read (73,301) were retained for analysis. Results of the eDNA metabarcoding showed that species abundance and Shannon–Wiener diversity index were higher in the experiment fishing group (6 and 0.93) compared to those obtained from eDNA data (3 and 0.42). Additionally, both indices were higher in the Kurau River (4 and 0.82) than in the Bikang River (3 and 0.48). Species richness was significantly different between the two sampling methods (p < 0.001). Eighteen fish species were identified through experimental fishing, three using eDNA metabarcoding, and one species was common to both methods. PCA results revealed that the richness of species and effectiveness of sampling technique were significantly affected by water quality. The result of eDNA detection in this research was not better than experimental fishing. Hence, the development of reference for genetic database and optimisation of eDNA technique are required.

Abstract

Based on data from the National Disaster Management Agency, South Sumatra is one of the provinces with a reasonably large drought-affected area, totalling 8,853,691.009 ha. Drought is a hydrometeorological disaster, characterised by anomalous rainfall below normal levels. Reduced rainfall can lead to decreased soil moisture, reduced river flows, and a general scarcity of water, which limits availability of water both on the surface and in the soil. To anticipate and mitigate the impacts of drought, an accurate forecasting system is essential for effective disaster management and mitigation. This research focuses on forecasting drought using the standardised precipitation index (SPI) based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) algorithms. It compares LSTM and MLP algorithms by integrating rainfall data from the FY-4A satellite and observational rain gauges, which are processed to generate SPI values. These data are employed to train and test MLP and LSTM models in predicting future drought conditions. The results indicate that drought can be effectively predicted using both MLP and LSTM. However, the MLP outperforms the LSTM, as reflected by a higher Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) value, a lower error rate, and a predicted date trend that more closely aligns with actual observations.

Abstract

Despite the European Green Deal’s pursuit for a resource-efficient economy, industry remains largely dependent on linear material use. This paper presents an analysis of rapeseed meal valorisation through pyrolysis to unlock its circular economy potential, set against the backdrop of the European Green Deal’s ambition for a resourceeffective economy. The study investigates the transformative role of converting agro-industrial waste into valuable products. Through strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats and techno-economic analysis, the feasibility and opportunities of rapeseed meal pyrolysis are examined. An overview of the economic performance of a pyrolysis plant with a capacity of 32,000 Mg per year is presented. Based on the results, the plant is economically viable, as it presents a positive net present value and an appropriate internal rate of return for the condition considered. The annual cash flow amounts to EUR5.05 mln and the initial investment is EUR25.24 mln, which demonstrates the plant’s ability to not only cover operational costs but also generate considerable profits. Additionally, despite the existing challenges in scaling up from laboratory-scale to industrial application, strategic approaches are proposed to overcome obstacles. Overall, this study underscores the significance of rapeseed meal valorisation as a pathway toward a more resilient, resource-efficient and sustainable future.

Abstract

The increasing adoption of solar power as a sustainable energy source necessitates more efficient and reliable methods for optimising and maintaining solar power generating systems. Traditional approaches to assessing and managing these systems often rely on static models and manual interventions, which can be inefficient and fail to account for dynamic environmental conditions. In this study, we propose a novel framework for the assessment and optimisation of solar power systems using modern machine learning techniques. Our approach benifits advanced predictive maintenance, real-time energy yield optimisation, and enhanced energy forecasting models, resulting in significant improvements in system efficiency and reliability. Specifically, the predictive maintenance system, driven by machine learning algorithms, was able to reduce system downtime by 29.88% compared to traditional reactive maintenance methods. The real-time energy yield optimisation, leveraging dynamic data inputs, increased energy capture efficiency by 14.78% over standard static models. Additionally, our enhanced energy forecasting models demonstrated a 25.12% improvement in accuracy, significantly outperforming conventional forecasting techniques. These innovations enhance the operational efficiency of solar power systems, and contribute in their long-term sustainability and economic viability. The integration of machine learning into solar power management enables proactive decision-making, adaptive control strategies, and more accurate performance predictions. As a result, our proposed framework offers a practical and scalable solution to meet the growing demands of the renewable energy sector and supports the global transition toward cleaner and more resilient energy infrastructures.

Abstract

In Europe, Chinese mitten crabs (Eriocheir sinensis) are invasive catadromous crustaceans that are increasingly prevalent and at the same time actively removed from the aquatic environment. In contrast, in Asia, the muscles, hepatopancreas, and gonads of these crustaceans are a traditional source of food with high nutritional value. A significant abundance of these crustaceans found in the southern Baltic Sea watershed, along with findings from previous studies on their nutritional value, indicate that the meat of these crabs could serve as an additional food source for both humans and animals, including in Europe. When evaluating the meat’s worth, vitamin content plays a crucial role, which remains unknown in individuals from invasive populations. The aim of this study was to assess the content of fat-soluble vitamins A, E, and D in the edible parts of male and female crabs during two migratory seasons: spring and autumn. The results showed that the average content of vitamins A, D, and E in the edible parts of Chinese mitten crabs was 0.226 ±0.143 ng∙mg−1, 0.844 ±0.683 ng∙mg−1, and 1.418 ±1.199 μg∙mg−1, respectively. Muscles exhibited the highest content of vitamins A and D, while the hepatopancreas contained the most vitamin E. Smaller differences in vitamin content were noted between the sex of the crabs and the seasons of migration. The results show that Chinese mitten crabs can be a valuable source of vitamins A, E, and D, opening potential opportunities for utilizing their meat in the food industry and as a dietary supplement.

Abstract

This study investigates the agronomic performance of high-protein soybean varieties under various double-row intercropping patterns in drought-affected dryland areas of Lombok, Indonesia. The research utilised an experimental approach using a split plot design. The main plot comprised four levels of double-row intercropping patterns (B): (B1) soybean sole cropping with a spacing of 40:20:15 cm, (B2) soybean-maize intercropping with a spacing of 70:20:15 cm, (B3) soybean-maize intercropping with a spacing of 60:20:15 cm, and (B4) soybean-maize intercropping with a spacing of 50:20:15 cm. The subplot included five high-protein soybean varieties (V): ‘Kemuning-1’ (V1), ‘Mutiara-2’ (V2), ‘Mutiara-3’ (V3), ‘Sugentan-2’ (V4), and ‘Gamasugen-2’ (V5). Each combination was replicated three times. The assessed agronomic traits included plant height, trifoliate leave number, node number, branch number, trifoliate leaf area, days to flowering, pod number, filled pod number, percent of unfilled pod, grain number, 100-grain mass, grain mass per plant, and grain yield per hectare. The results showed that the B×V interaction significantly influenced agronomic traits, including the number of nodes and branches, as well as yield and its components. The varieties ‘Kemuning-1’, ‘Mutiara-3’, and ‘Gamasugen-2’ produced better grain yields in sole cropping and double-row intercropping systems, but exhibited greater crop reductions under double- row intercropping, indicating lower adaptability to the system. In contrast, the consistent grain yield stability of ‘Mutiara-2’ and ‘Sugentan-2’ showed greater efficiency under double-row intercropping systems, indicating their superior adaptability to double-row intercropping conditions.

Abstract

This research investigates the impacts of climate change on date palm cultivation in the Drâa-Tafilalet oases of southeastern Morocco, employing a mixed-methods approach that combines on-the-ground observations and semi- structured interviews with 120 date palm farmers. Field observations across three key oases document widespread hazards and effects of climate-related stress on date palms, including disrupted flowering synchronicity, increased incidence of parthenocarpy, and heightened vulnerability to pests and diseases. A survey of these 120 farmers revealed the severity and interconnected nature of these impacts. Several farmers (30% in Boudnib, 40% in Errachidia and 40% in Zagora) observed multiple asynchronous flowering cycles per year, while parthenocarpy emerged as a significant concern, with prevalence ranging from 20% in Zagora to 40% in Boudnib. While 10–15% of farmers reported inflorescence rot, a concerning knowledge gap exists regarding effective preventative treatments, with only 3– 15% of farmers employing them. Farmer surveys further revealed that wind-driven mite infestations pose a growing threat, with 50% of farmers in Zagora reporting significant issues. The research explores ways to reduce the effects of climate change through methods like creating crops resistant to climate conditions, enhancing water supply systems, combining pest and pollinator control methods, and implementing new pollination approaches. Nevertheless, it highlights the need for tailored adaptation and mitigation strategies that incorporate both scientific knowledge and local, farmer-driven insights. The study emphasises the urgency of proactive measures to address the socioeconomic consequences of climate change on these culturally and economically vital oases.

Abstract

Coconut shell residues are abundant in tropical countries and have the potential to be further processed into biochar. Due to its specific characteristics, biochar has the potential to remove contaminants from wastewater. The intensification of agriculture in these tropical countries produces large volumes of wastewater that require nutrient removal before being discharged into water bodies. Accumulated nutrient in bodies of water can lead to eutrophication. This study investigates the capacity of coconut shell biochar in removing phosphate, ammonium, and nitrate from agricultural wastewater using both batch adsorption and fixed-bed column methods. The nutrient sorption capacity of biochar produced at different pyrolysis temperatures (300°C, 450°C, and 600°C) was evaluated and compared with locally produced biochar from Padang City. Findings indicated that the nutrient adsorption efficiency of coconut shell biochar is influenced by pyrolysis temperature and is comparable to that of local biochar. The sorption capacity of ammonium, nitrate, and phosphate using local biochar were 10.12, 7.51, and 10.79 mg∙g−1. A continuous sorption study using a fixed-bed column reactor confirmed the ability of local coconut shell biochar in removing nutrients from real agricultural wastewater. This study highlights the potential of utilising coconut shell waste as a sustainable material for nutrient removal from wastewater, thereby helping to prevent nutrient pollution in water bodies.

Abstract

In Kupang Regency, Indonesia, drought occurs almost every year, affecting rice production, which requires a significant amount of water. Despite its frequent occurrence, limited studies have focused on agricultural drought in the region. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the spatial and temporal patterns of agricultural drought and their relationship with rice yield using the Vegetation Health Index (VHI). Spatial and temporal patterns were analysed based on physical conditions, while the relationship with rice yield was examined using the Spearman correlation test. The results showed that the most severe droughts occurred in 2015 and 2019, affecting 15,063 ha and 14,187 ha, respectively. The Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) analysis revealed that VHI had an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.732. In addition, agricultural drought had a positive correlation with elevation. The majority of drought occurred in areas with an elevations of 0–25 m a.s.l., alluvial soil types, slopes of 0–8%, and within 0–229 m of water sources. The results also showed that patterns in Kupang Regency closely followed precipitation trends, with a onemonth lag due to soil moisture. However, agricultural drought did not significantly impact productivity, as shown by significance values greater than 0.05.

Abstract

All field investigations were carried out in the Northern Gezira irrigation project, located in Nineveh Governorate, Iraq. The aim was to evaluate the productivity of the ‘Barcelona’ and ‘Iba’a’ wheat varieties. The assessment process was performed from two perspectives: field data analysis and simulation using AquaCrop software. The evaluation focused on product efficiency and rationalisation of irrigation water, and the identification of a suitable irrigation system. The complementary irrigation was applied by giving a total irrigation water depth of 234 mm to the ‘Iba’a’ wheat variety where the seed productivity was about 4,400 kg∙ha−1. Nevertheless, the ‘Barcelona’ variety achieved a significantly higher yield of 7,200 kg∙ha−1 under the same irrigation conditions, indicating its superior performance. Moreover, the analytical data was agreed with the field study where the simulation results showed that the ‘Iba’a’ variety productivity was 4,596 kg∙ha−1, while the ‘Barcelona’ variety achieved 7,340 kg∙ha−1. It was also shown that the value of water use efficiency for the ‘Iba’a’ variety wheat crop was equal to 1.108 kg∙m−3, while for the ‘Barcelona’ wheat variety it became equal to 1.813 kg∙m−3.

Abstract

Our previous study found that Bacillus cereus from the rhizosphere of Syzygium aromaticum (RTKS) exhibited the highest resistance and the best gold bioleaching potential at pH 8. However, this bacteria’s potential requires further investigation. The current study aimed to (1) determine the temperature that supports the effectiveness of B. cereus RTKS in the bioleaching of gold, and (2) test the effectiveness of bioleaching by B. cereus RTKS with variations in Au contents in tailings. The experiment began by growing bacteria in a medium, which was then inoculated into tailing effluent. The experiment was carried out in an Erlenmeyer flask shaken at 120 rpm for 3 weeks. In the first-stage experiment, temperatures of 25°C and 50°C were tested. The optimum temperature obtained in the first stage was then used for the second-stage experiment with variations in Au contents in tailings. After bioleaching, the filtration process was conducted and produced three components, namely pellets containing bacterial cells, supernatants, and residues. Bacteria mentioned above were more effective in bioleaching of gold at a temperature of 50° C than at 25°C, indicated by higher Au extraction in pellets and residues, and Au accumulation which tended to be higher in pellets. In treatments with varying Au concentrations in the tailings, increasing Au content did not lead to higher Au accumulation by B. cereus RTKS. The Au content in the residue was significantly highest in the tailings bioleaching treatment with the highest Au content.

Abstract

The red scale insect Aonidiella aurantii (Maskell) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) is a major pest of guava trees in different parts of the world. This study aims to determine the population abundance and spatial distribution pattern of A. aurantii during the two successive growing seasons of 2022–2023 and 2023–2024. This pest was surveyed every two weeks in a private guava grove located in the Armant district of the Luxor region of Egypt. The results showed that individuals of A. aurantii were found on the leaf surfaces of guava trees at varying densities throughout the year. In the south-eastern site, where population density remained continuously high during the two years of the study, the pest favoured the upper leaf surface in the basal canopy layer. In this context, the spatial distribution pattern of A. aurantii at all sites on the guava tree was aggregated using dispersion measures over the two years. To distinguish the estimates of A. aurantii individuals in the sixteen coordinates studied, the cluster analysis method was used in conjunction with correlation analysis. Principal component analysis was performed, followed by two-dimensional analysis of sixteen coordinates to establish their correlation. Based on the findings of this study, an integrated pest management strategy can now be developed to help mitigate pest populations of A. aurantii found in guava tree orchards.

Abstract

The Amman-Zarqa Basin, a critical groundwater resource in Jordan, has experienced substantial land cover changes over recent decades due to accelerated urbanisation, industrial development, and agricultural intensification. This study assesses the effects of these changes on groundwater quality by employing an integrated methodological framework that combines Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing (RS), and conceptual hydrogeochemical modelling. Multitemporal satellite imagery (2002–2022) was analysed to detect land cover transformations using supervised classification techniques and change detection algorithms. Groundwater quality data, collected from monitoring wells across the basin over the same period, were subjected to hydrochemical analysis, including the evaluation of major ions and trace metals. Spatial overlays were used to correlate groundwater quality trends with specific land cover changes, identifying pollution hotspots and vulnerable zones. Hydrogeochemical characterisation was performed using Piper, Durov, Wilcox, and Schoeller diagrams to classify water types and assess its suitability for various uses. Results indicate a marked deterioration in groundwater quality, particularly increased concentrations of total dissolved solids (TDS), chloride, sulphate, and heavy metals such as chromium, lead, and manganese–especially near industrial and agricultural zones. The methodology proved effective in capturing both spatial and temporal dynamics of groundwater degradation. The integration of GIS and RS tools with long-term hydrochemical data provided a robust framework for understanding the interactions between land use change and groundwater quality. These findings emphasise the urgent need for implementing sustainable land and water management strategies to protect the Amman-Zarqa Basin from further environmental stress and ensure long-term water security.

Abstract

The identification and classification of rice varieties based on key agronomic traits are essential for enhancing productivity and adaptability in diverse growing environments. This study focused on 18 rice varieties cultivated in Morocco, comprising 14 Korea-Africa Food and Agriculture Cooperation Initiative (KAFACI) lines, three National Institute of Agricultural Research (Fr.: Institut national de la recherche agronomique – INRA) Morocco varieties, and a control cultivar, ‘Lagostino’, widely used by Moroccan farmers. The experiment was conducted at the Sidi Allah Tazi Experimental Domain (Fr.: Domaine Expérimental de Sidi Allal Tazi) using a randomised complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were utilised to group varieties based on significant agronomic traits. The analysis revealed four distinct clusters. Cluster 1, including ‘KF190066’, showed high values for plant height, 1000-seed weight, and panicle length. Cluster 2, represented by the control cultivar ‘Lagostino’, was characterised by an earlier heading and fewer panicles per plant. Cluster 3, including ‘KF190064’ and ‘KF190065’, displayed the highest straw and seed yields despite shorter panicles. Cluster 4, comprising ‘Ka WS 9294292’, ‘Nachat’ (INRA Morocco), ‘CB MS11’, and ‘Hayat’ (INRA Morocco), exhibited extended heading and maturity durations, alongside higher tiller and panicle counts per plant. These findings highlight the agronomic diversity potential of rice varieties in Morocco, providing critical insights for breeding programs. The identification of superior varieties, such as ‘KF190064’, ‘Hayat’, and ‘KF190066’, reinforces their potential for boosting rice production and sustainability under Morocco’s agro-climatic conditions.

Abstract

 Accurate interpretation of pumping test data in stratified aquifers requires approaches that account for vertical heterogeneity, a factor often neglected in conventional analytical solutions. This study presents a Pythodriven axisymmetric numerical modelling framework, built using MODFLOW 6 and FloPy, to simulate both pumping and recovery phases in vertically heterogeneous confined aquifers.

The model discretises the domain radially and vertically to allow layer-specific representation of hydraulic conductivity, while specific storage is assigned uniformly. An optimisation-based inverse modelling approach was used to estimate aquifer parameters by minimising the difference between observed and simulated drawdowns. Applied to a case study in Bahariya, Egypt, the results yielded hydraulic conductivity values consistent with the site’s stratigraphy – ranging from approximately 10−5 m∙d−1 in shale to over 27 m∙d−1 in limestone – and a specific storage of 4∙10−8 m−1. The simulated radius of influence was 133.67 m, and the root mean square error between the observed and simulated drawdown was 0.01 m.

Sensitivity analysis demonstrated that vertical discretisation had the greatest influence on model accuracy, with coarser grids increasing residual error by nearly 90% and reducing the radius of influence by 9%. The temporal resolution had minimal impact on accuracy but significantly affected computation time.

 This framework offers an open-source, automated, and script-based tool for simulating pumping tests in layered aquifer systems, enabling more reliable estimation of hydraulic parameters for both scientific and applied groundwater studies.

Peer-review Procedure

Reviewing procedure

Procedure of reviewing submitted papers agrees with recommendations of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education published in a booklet: „Dobre praktyki w procedurach recenzyjnych w nauce”.

Reviewing form may be downloaded from the Journal’s web page.

1. Papers submitted to the Editorial Office are primarily verified by editors with respect to merit and formal issues. Texts with obvious errors (formatting other than requested, missing references, evidently low scientific quality) will be rejected at this stage.

2. Primarily accepted papers are sent to the two independent referees from outside the author’s institution, who:

- have no conflict of interests with the author,
- are not in professional relationships with the author,
- are competent in a given discipline and have at least doctor’s degree and respective scientific achievements,
- have unblemished reputation as reviewers.

3. In case of papers written in foreign language, at least one referee is affiliated in a foreign institution other than the author’s nationality.

4. Reviewing proceeds in the double blind process (authors and reviewers do not know each other’s names) recommended by the Ministry.

5. A number is attributed to the paper to identify it in further stages of editorial procedure.

6. Potential referee obtains summary of the text and it is his/her decision upon accepting/rejecting the paper for review within a given time period.

7. Referees are obliged to keep opinions about the paper confidential and to not use knowledge about it before publication.

8. Review must have a written form and end up with an explicit conclusion about accepting or rejecting the paper from publication. Referee has a possibility to conclude his/her opinion in a form:

- accept without revision;
- accept with minor revision;
- accept after major revision,
- re-submission and further reviewing after complete re-arrangement of the paper,
- reject.

9. Referee sends the review to the “Journal of Water and Land Development” by Editorial System. The review is archived there for 5 years.

10. Editors do not accept reviews, which do not conform to merit and formal rules of scientific reviewing like short positive or negative remarks not supported by a close scrutiny or definitely critical reviews with positive final conclusion and vice versa. Referee’s remarks are presented to the author. Rational and motivated conclusions are obligatory for the author. He/she has to consider all remarks and revise the text accordingly. Referee has the right to verify so revised text.

11. Author of the text has the right to comment referee’s conclusions in case he/she does not agree with them.

12. Editor-in Chief (supported by members of the Editorial Board) decides upon publication based on remarks and conclusions presented by referees, author’s comments and the final version of the manuscript.

13. Rules of acceptation or rejection of the paper and the review form are available at the web page of the Editorial House or the journal.

14. Present list of cooperating reviewers is published once a year.

15. According to usual habit, reviewing is free of charge.

16. Papers rejected by referees are archived by Editorial System.

Plagiarism Policy


Plagiarism Policy

1. The Editorial Team of the “Journal of Water and Land Development” (JWLD) is strictly against any unethical act of copying or plagiarism in any form. According to Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) plagiarism is defined as: When somebody presents the work of others (data, words or theories) as if they were his/her own and without proper acknowledgement. Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). All manuscripts submitted for publication to JWLD are cross-checked for plagiarism using iThenticate/Turnitin software.
2. Plagiarism is the unethical act of copying someone else's prior ideas, processes, results or words without explicit acknowledgement of the original author and source. Self-plagiarism occurs when an author utilises a large part of his/her own previously published work without using appropriate references. This can range from getting the same manuscript published in multiple journals to modifying a previously published manuscript with some new data.
3. Manuscripts found to be plagiarised (overall similarity index of the manuscript should not be more than 15% for research articles and 20% for review articles with a limitation of less than 3% similarity from any individual source) during initial stages of review are out-rightly rejected and not considered for publication in the journal. In case a manuscript is found to be plagiarised after publication, the Editor-in-Chief will conduct a preliminary investigation, may be with the help of a suitable committee constituted for the purpose.
4. If the manuscript is found to be plagiarised beyond the acceptable limits, the journal will contact the author's Institute / College / University and Funding Agency, if any. A determination of misconduct will lead JWLD to run a statement bi-directionally linked online to and from the original paper, to note the plagiarism and provide a reference to the plagiarised material.
5. The paper containing the plagiarism will also be marked on each page of the PDF. Upon determination of the extent of plagiarism, the paper may also be formally retracted.

Types of Plagiarism

The following types of plagiarism are considered by JWLD:

1. Full Plagiarism: Previously published content without any changes to the text, idea and grammar is considered as full plagiarism. It involves presenting exact text from a source as one's own.
2. Partial Plagiarism: If content is a mixture from multiple different sources, where the author has extensively rephrased text, then it is known as partial plagiarism.
3. Self-Plagiarism: When an author reuses complete or portions of their pre-published research, then it is known as self-plagiarism. Complete self-plagiarism is a case when an author republishes their own previously published work in a new journal.

JWLD respects intellectual property and aims at protecting and promoting original work of its authors. Manuscripts containing plagiarised material are against the standards of quality, research and innovation. Hence, all authors submitting articles to JWLD are expected to abide by ethical standards and abstain from plagiarism, in any form.

The authors must ensure that the submitted manuscript:
- describes completely the original work;
- is not plagiarism;
- has not been published before in any language;
- the information used or words from other publications are appropriately indicated by reference or indicated in the text.
Existing copyright laws and conventions must be observed. Materials protected by copyright (for example, tables, figures or large quotations) should only be reproduced with the permission of their owner.

In case, an author is found to be suspected of plagiarism in a submitted or published manuscript then, JWLD shall contact the author(s) to submit his/her/their explanation within two weeks, which may be forwarded to the special commission constituted for the purpose, for further course of action. If JWLD does not receive any response from the author within the stipulated time period, then the Director / Dean / Head of the concerned College, Institution or Organization or the Vice Chancellor of the University to which the author is affiliated shall be contacted to take strict action against the concerned author.

JWLD shall take serious action against published manuscripts found to contain plagiarism and shall completely remove them from the JWLD website and other third party websites where the paper is listed and indexed. The moment, any article published in the JWLD database is reported to be plagiarised, JWLD will constitute a special commission to investigate the same. Upon having established that the manuscript is plagiarised from some previously published work, JWLD shall support the original author and manuscript irrespective of the publisher and may take any or all of the following immediate actions or follow the additional courses of actions*:

1. JWLD editorial office shall immediately contact the Director / Dean / Head of the concerned College, Institution or Organization or the Vice Chancellor of the University to which the author(s) is (are) affiliated to take strict action against the concerned author.
2. JWLD shall change the PDF copy of the published manuscript from the website and the term Retraction shall be appended to the published manuscript title.
3. JWLD shall disable the author account with the journal and reject all future submissions from the author for a period of 03 / 05 / 10 years or even ban the authors permanently.

*Any additional courses of action, as recommended by the commission or as deemed fit for the instant case or as decided by the Editor-in-Chief, implemented from time to time.
