Heavy Metal Pollution in Coastal Environments: Ecological Implications and Management Strategies: A Review

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(2), P. 701 - 701

Published: Jan. 17, 2025

Heavy metals originating from industrial runoff, agricultural practices, urbanization, and natural geological processes persist in coastal sediments due to their low degradation rates high stability. Their cycling is influenced by sediment dynamics, water circulation, complex interactions with biological chemical factors. metal pollution demonstrates serious risks biota, including fish, shellfish, algae, marine mammals through mechanisms such as bioaccumulation biomagnification. These lead biodiversity loss, habitat degradation, reduced ecosystem functionality. Current mitigation strategies for control regulations remediation techniques show promise but face challenges implementation. Emerging technologies nanotechnology bioremediation offer innovative solutions require further validation. Knowledge gaps understanding the long-term ecological impacts of heavy contamination optimizing management diverse ecosystems. Coastal ecosystems are vital supporting providing essential services, they increasingly threatened pollution—a pervasive environmental challenge that demands urgent attention. This review investigates sources, characteristics, pathways, impacts, associated environments. The synthesizes findings recent literature, employing a systematic approach analyze anthropogenic biogeochemical governing cycling. Future research should focus on addressing these interdisciplinary approaches, integrating advanced modeling techniques, stakeholder engagement, sustainable practices.

Flood mapping based on novel ensemble modeling involving the deep learning, Harris Hawk optimization algorithm and stacking based machine learning

Applied Water Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(4)

Published: March 14, 2024

Abstract Among the various natural disasters that take place around world, flood is considered to be most extensive. There have been several floods in Buzău river basin, and as a result of this, area has chosen study area. For purpose this research, we applied deep learning machine benchmarks order prepare potential maps at basin scale. In regard 12 predictors, 205 non-flood locations were used input data into following 3 complex models: Deep Learning Neural Network-Harris Hawk Optimization-Index Entropy (DLNN-HHO-IOE), Multilayer Perceptron-Harris (MLP-HHO-IOE) Stacking ensemble-Harris (Stacking-HHO-IOE). The sample was divided training (70%) validating (30%) sample, meanwhile prediction ability conditioning factors tested through Correlation-based Feature Selection method. ROC Curve statistical metrics involved results validation. modeling process stated algorithms showed important predictors are represented by: slope (importance ≈ 20%), distance from 17.5%), land use 12%) TPI 10%). importance values compute susceptibility, while Natural Breaks method classify results. high very susceptibility spread on approximately 35–40% zone. Curve, terms Success, Rate shows highest performance achieved FPI DLNN-HHO-IOE (AUC = 0.97), followed by Stacking-HHO-IOE 0.966) MLP-HHO-IOE 0.953), Prediction indicates being performant model with an AUC 0.977, 0.97) 0.924).
