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. By prioritizing efforts, we can safeguard services escalating threats pollution.

Climate variability, population growth, and globalization impacting food security in Pakistan

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: Feb. 4, 2025

Global hunger has increased recently, returning to levels observed a decade ago. Climate change is identified as key factor contributing these increases and significant cause of severe food crises. When combined with population growth globalization, future climate variability expected significantly affect global security. This study examined the influence variability, on security (FS) in Pakistan from 1995 2023. Food data was sourced Agricultural Organization, globalization obtained KOF Globalization Index. Datasets growth, unemployment, inflation were collected World Development Indicators. A two-layer principal component analysis utilized develop index. Multivariate Generalized Auto-Regressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity used assess impact All indexed components explained more than 50% variance, resulting eigenvalue 3.603 0.901 proportion. The findings indicated that negatively Pakistan's Furthermore, found notably mitigates adverse effects research may help alleviate risk undernourishment, reverse current trends escalating insecurity, support sustainable development goal eliminating by 2030.

Implications of policy changes for coastal landscape patterns and sustainability in Eastern China

Landscape Ecology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 39(1)

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

Abstract Context The capacity of a landscape to maintain multifunctionality through ongoing pressures relates its sustainability and is affected by land use policy environmental changes. In coastal zones, limited empirical evidence exists regarding the impact macro-level changes on local landscapes their resulting temporal spatial responses. Objectives This paper investigates national provincial policies patterns in China’s Zhejiang zone, encompassing human expansion ecological restoration terms sustainability. Methods A cluster-based pattern mining conducted from 1990 2020 using Google Earth Engine, which coupled with historical classification analysis. Results Coastal zone evolved three stages: development-oriented (1990–2010), conservation turning (2010–2017), land-sea coordination (2017-present). Consequently, significant differences are observed. Artificial surface aligned these stages, especially Hangzhou Bay, Xiangshan Sanmen Bay. Expansion responded more swiftly development-stimulating policies, exhibiting longer-lasting effects. Conservation faced delays due conflicting interests, varied implementation entities, unsynchronized cycles, lack coordinated priorities across terrestrial marine domains. Conclusions study provides insights into processes offering implications for It facilitates an evaluation effectiveness suggests differentiated sustainable transformation plans. Moreover, it underscores need strengthen between sea development effective management

Five Years of Natural Vegetation Recovery in Three Forests of Karst Graben Area and Its Effects on Plant Diversity and Soil Properties

Forests, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16(1), P. 91 - 91

Published: Jan. 8, 2025

In recent decades, excessive human activities have led to large-scale rocky desertification in karst areas. Vegetation restoration is one of the most important ways control desertification. this study, vegetation surveys were conducted on three typical plantations Jianshui County, Yunnan Province, a fault basin area, 2016 and 2021. The Pinus massoniana forest (PM), yunnanensis (PY), mixed forests Quercus variabilis (MF). Plant diversity soil nutrients compared during five-year period. This paper mainly draws following results: plant PM, PY, MF increased. With increase time, new species appeared tree layer, shrub herb layer forests. Tree with smaller importance values gradually withdrew from community. Patrick index, Simpson Shannon–Wiener index increased significantly. Pielou changed highest for PM PY There was no significant difference layer. bulk density (BD) decreased. total porosity (TP), capillary (CP), non-capillary (NCP). pH significantly 5.88~6.24 7.24~7.34. decreased (p < 0.05). contents nitrogen (TN) ammonium (NH4+-N) content nitrate (NO3−-N) Total phosphorus (TP) MF. available (AP) general, physical chemical properties also been improved. results can provide data support
