Biodiversity and bird welfare in evaluation of tourism impact and sustainability in arid environment

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Nature‐based tourism is rapidly expanding in arid regions, raising concerns about its long‐term sustainability and potential impacts on biodiversity. However, empirical evidence evaluating its effects on both species diversity and animal welfare remains limited.

Laser-Induced Solid-Phase UV Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Rapid Detection of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in the Land Snail Bioindicator, Cantareus aspersus

Biosensors
In ecotoxicological risk assessment, current methods for measuring the transfer and bioavailability of organic pollutants like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in bioindicators are often destructive and environmentally unfriendly.

Effects of Pesticides on the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis

Agrochemicals, 2023
Substantial amounts of pesticides, used in agricultural production to control pests, diseases, and weeds, and thereby attain high product quantities and quality, can severely affect the ecosystem and human health. The amounts of pesticides used depend on

Revealing the dark biodiversity around us through a national school‐based citizen science project

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract School‐based citizen science holds great potential for expanding biodiversity knowledge while engaging young people in authentic scientific practices. This is particularly important for revealing ‘dark biodiversity’, defined as the vast yet often overlooked biodiversity that remains hidden due to its small size or cryptic nature, including ...

Assessing the Effectiveness of Rotation Growing of Industrial Hemp and Alfalfa in Post-Mining Agricultural Reclamation: Using Soil Fauna as an Indicator

Agriculture
The reclamation of post-mining land for agricultural purposes has continued to be a big challenge. Our study concerns the use of soil microfauna (nematodes) and mesofauna (mites and springtails) as indicators of soil quality after 6 years of agricultural

Plant bioindicators of heavy metals

, 2021
The urban areas are exposed to high risk of contamination, and some of the plant species can indicate this contamination. For this study, plants which can accumulate heavy metals and meet the requirements for bioindicators were chosen.

The Application of Nanoscale Zero-Valent Iron Promotes Soil Remediation While Negatively Affecting Soil Microbial Biomass and Activity

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019
The use of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) particles for soil remediation is gaining increased attention. However, there are concerns about the potential adverse effects of nZVI on soil microbial communities and, hence, soil quality.
