The study evaluated the vulnerability and adaptation status of farming households in the climate‐sensitive wetland region of Bangladesh, using survey data from 120 households. The livelihood vulnerability index indicated moderate vulnerability (0.53), with key risks stemming from livelihood strategies, natural resource dependence and climatic ...

Abstract Rice weevils (Sitophilus oryzae), a major storage pest, cause both qualitative and quantitative losses of stored grains. Normally, chemical insecticide along with fumigation is practiced for the management, but it creates health hazards. So, this study investigates the effects of temperature and duration of exposure on rice weevils. Completely

Responses of Root Microbiome and Metabolome Are Linked to Crop Disease Severity
ABSTRACT Plant microorganisms are an essential component of the host and perform critical functions in plant development and health. Emerging evidence shows that plants use their root exudates to recruit beneficial microbes that protect them against abiotic and biotic stresses, including diseases.

Assessing the Impact of Agrivoltaic Systems on Pasture Plant and Soil Microarthropod Communities
ABSTRACT Agrivoltaic systems (AVS) integrate renewable energy production with agricultural use, creating novel microclimatic gradients that can affect ecosystem structure and function. However, the ecological consequences of these gradients on vegetation composition and soil biological quality remain poorly understood, particularly in pasture‐based AVS

ABSTRACT Urban flood disasters demand dynamic assessment of population risk, yet most evacuation models fail to capture the multifaceted, time‐varying nature of such events. To address this gap, this study develops the modular urban flood‐evacuation (MUFE) framework, an integrated approach to dynamic urban flood risk assessment.

Can Flash Flood Risk Index Be an Early Warning Signal of Flash Floods in Ungauged Basin?
ABSTRACT Flash flooding is amongst the most severe natural hazards, causing widespread socioeconomic impacts across both wet regions and drylands. In ungauged mountainous basins, effective risk warning based on hydrodynamic modelling is challenging due to sparse hydrological observations and complex terrain.

ABSTRACT Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, the Prairie Provinces of Canada, lead national oilseed cultivation. Canola is a staple crop that provides food oil and feedstock for biofuels. Canola production is vulnerable to climate variability, and climate change has altered crop cycles and affected Canadian canola producers.

Transgressivity in Key Functional Traits Rather Than Phenotypic Plasticity Promotes Stress Tolerance in A Hybrid Cordgrass [PDF]
Hybridization might promote offspring fitness via a greater tolerance to environmental stressors due to heterosis and higher levels of phenotypic plasticity.
