This document proposes a new framework called "planetary boundaries" to define a safe operating space for humanity to avoid dangerous global environmental change. It identifies nine key Earth system processes and attempts to quantify boundary levels for seven of them, beyond which risks crossing thresholds into uncontrollable change. The boundaries are climate change, ocean acidification, stratospheric ozone depletion, interference with biogeochemical nitrogen and phosphorus cycles, global freshwater use, land system change, and rate of biodiversity loss. The paper argues humanity has already exceeded boundaries for climate change, biodiversity loss and nitrogen cycle. Crossing boundaries increases risks and impacts, and boundaries are interconnected, so exceeding one could impact others.
Dr Andrew Rawson: Soil Carbon Sequestration in a Changing ClimateCarbon Coalition
Dr Andrew Rawson of the NSW Department of the Environment and Climate Change, explains why climate change is blamed for more than it can be held to have caused. This presentation was given at the Carbon farming Expo & Conference in Orange NSW Australia in November 2008.
The document summarizes key findings from the Third Symposium on the Ocean in a High-CO2 World, which convened over 500 experts. The main points are:
1) Ocean acidification is increasing at an unprecedented rate due to human CO2 emissions and is affecting ecosystems and biodiversity. It has the potential to impact food security and limit the ocean's ability to absorb more CO2.
2) Research shows adverse effects on some organisms' ability to form shells and skeletons as well as reduced survival, growth, and reproduction. However, some organisms can tolerate or benefit from acidification.
3) If emissions continue high, large parts of the polar oceans will become corrosive by decades

The document discusses the "Great Acceleration" which refers to the rapid increase in human impacts on Earth systems since 1950. It provides data on increasing trends from 1950 onwards for factors such as population, GDP, water use, fertilizer consumption, motor vehicles, tourism, shrimp farming, and land use. These human activities have accelerated the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and increased impacts such as loss of forests, more extreme weather events, overfishing, nitrogen pollution, and loss of biodiversity. The document is a synthesis of these trends from multiple scientific sources.
The Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill in 2010 released over 170 million gallons of oil into the Gulf waters over 87 days, severely damaging local ecosystems. Efforts are underway to restore habitats, water quality, and living resources through projects like wetland restoration along the Mississippi Delta. The restoration is led by a trustee committee representing federal and state governments and aims to improve ecosystems while also enhancing recreational activities like tourism to restore the Gulf of Mexico environment and economies.

Anthropogenically induced global climate change has profound implications for marine
ecosystems and the economic and social systems that depend upon them. The
relationship between temperature and individual performance is reasonably well
understood, and much climate-related research has focused on potential shifts in
distribution and abundance driven directly by temperature. However, recent work has
revealed that both abiotic changes and biological responses in the ocean will be
substantially more complex. For example, changes in ocean chemistry may be more
important than changes in temperature for the performance and survival of many
organisms. Ocean circulation, which drives larval transport, will also change, with
important consequences for population dynamics. Furthermore, climatic impacts on one
or a few leverage species may result in sweeping community-level changes. Finally,
synergistic effects between climate and other anthropogenic variables, particularly fishing
pressure, will likely exacerbate climate-induced changes. Efforts to manage and conserve
living marine systems in the face of climate change will require improvements to the
existing predictive framework. Key directions for future research include identifying key
demographic transitions that influence population dynamics, predicting changes in the
community-level impacts of ecologically dominant species, incorporating populations
ability to evolve (adapt), and understanding the scales over which climate will change and
living systems will respond.
The document summarizes climate change impacts and deforestation effects on the Amazon region's water cycle. It notes the Amazon Basin's extraordinary biodiversity but also describes increasing droughts and floods in recent decades. Deforestation levels and air temperatures are also rising in southern Amazonia. Climate and land cover changes could significantly affect both regional and global water cycles. Modeling shows deforestation impacts local and regional hydroclimatic connectivity between the Amazon and Andes. Conserving and restoring terrestrial and aquatic systems, along with scientific innovation, education, and governance strengthening, are needed to support a sustainable Amazon region.

Effect of global warming on soil organic CarbonP.K. Mani
Global temperatures are projected to increase 1.5-5.8°C by 2100 due to greenhouse gas emissions like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Soil contains over twice as much carbon as the atmosphere and warming could cause soils to release large amounts of carbon, creating a positive feedback loop. The response of soil carbon to warming depends on factors like changes in inputs from plant growth and increases in decomposition rates from higher temperatures. High latitude regions with carbon-rich permafrost soils may be particularly vulnerable to carbon release under warming. Strategies to sequester carbon in soils through practices like reduced tillage, cover cropping, and biochar addition could help mitigate climate change.
This document discusses soil carbon sequestration as a strategy for addressing food security, climate resilience, and low-emission agriculture. It notes that soil carbon levels have declined significantly in many agricultural soils. Improving land management practices, such as no-till farming and use of cover crops, offers large potential to sequester carbon in soil. Soil carbon sequestration can provide benefits like increased crop yields as well as incentives for adoption. The document proposes developing an open-source geospatial database to monitor soil carbon levels under different land uses and management practices worldwide.

Soil Carbon & its Sequestration for Better Soil HealthBiswajitPramanick4
Carbon sequestration is the long- term storage of carbon in oceans, soils, vegetation (especially forests), and geologic formations. Although oceans store most of the Earth's carbon, soils contain approximately 75% of the carbon pool on land — three times more than the amount stored in living plants and animals.
Carbon sequestration: conflicts and benefits. Harper PiarnJoanna Hicks
Land-based carbon sequestration can contribute significantly to restoring carbon balance through planting trees and improving soil carbon, as well as replacing fossil fuels with bioenergy. However, large-scale carbon investment in these areas also presents challenges and trade-offs regarding food and water security, biodiversity, and local communities. While afforestation and reforestation can provide environmental co-benefits, they may compete with agricultural land and water usage. Deforestation reductions also benefit the environment but conversion of forest land to agriculture raises issues around future global food supply and local economic development. Effective policy needs to consider all costs and benefits through economic, energy, carbon, food, water, and social lenses to design sustainable land-use
This document discusses carbon sequestration in soil. It aims to reduce greenhouse gases in the air by capturing carbon in stable forms in soil. This improves soil structure and fertility, leading to increased crop yields. Methods of soil carbon sequestration include ocean storage, geological injection, and terrestrial sequestration. Case studies examine using models to predict global sequestration rates and the impact of tillage practices and cover crops on soil organic carbon levels. Implementing recommended land management practices can help sequester carbon in Indian agricultural and grassland soils.
Blue carbon in the Pacific: Background and opportunitiesCIFOR-ICRAF
Blue carbon ecosystems like mangroves and seagrasses exist across the Pacific region and store significant amounts of carbon. Past projects have mapped and assessed these ecosystems, trained local communities, and engaged in rehabilitation efforts. Future proposed work includes developing a Pacific Blue Carbon Partnership to further map, measure, and monitor blue carbon stocks in Melanesia; conduct carbon audits and valuation; support policy development; and help build resilience of communities dependent on these ecosystems. The partnership aims to strengthen countries' ability to protect blue carbon and report on climate commitments.

This document discusses a study analyzing long-term data from 21 forest flux towers to estimate changes in forest water-use efficiency as atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have risen. The study found that forest water-use efficiency, measured as the ratio of gross ecosystem photosynthesis to transpiration, has increased over time. This increase indicates a shift in the carbon and water balance of forests as atmospheric CO2 levels rise. Understanding changes in forest water-use efficiency is important for projecting impacts on the carbon cycle and Earth system.

This document examines the relationship between nitrogen concentration, light levels, and the habitat quality and survival of eelgrass (Zostera marina) in estuaries in southeastern Massachusetts. Seventy sites across 19 estuaries were studied over 4 growing seasons to analyze how varying levels of nitrogen and light affected the stability of existing eelgrass beds and the survival of transplanted eelgrass. The study found that eelgrass habitat quality and transplant survival were positively correlated with higher light levels and water transparency. Areas with the lowest light levels coincided with sites that had previously lost eelgrass coverage. Increases in total nitrogen levels led to decreased bottom light through increased phytoplankton biomass and particulates

BLUE CARBON IMPACTS ON COASTAL REGIONS (3).pptxfathimafayiza2
This document discusses coastal blue carbon ecosystems and their role in climate change mitigation. It begins with an introduction describing blue carbon ecosystems as highly efficient carbon sinks. The objective is described as examining coastal wetlands as carbon stores and the role of restoration in climate mitigation. The document then covers topics such as the concept of blue carbon, management and threats to blue carbon ecosystems, and the effects of climate change. It concludes by stating that conserving coastal ecosystems could offset emissions and climate change mitigation is a major impact of coastal blue carbon.
Wetland restoration: an emerging issue and management in changing climateIARI, NEW DELHI
Wetlands provide significant social, economic and environmental benefits. Wetlands are associated with several activities like water storage, groundwater recharge, storm protection, flood mitigation, shoreline stabilization, erosion control, and retention of carbon, nutrients, sediments and pollutants. Wetlands can also produce services that have a significant economic value such as clean fresh water, fisheries, timber, peat, wildlife resources and tourism opportunities. The loss and degradation of wetlands is driven by several factors, i.e., climatic and non climatic. Presently increased demand for agricultural land to fulfill the food need associated with population growth continues to be a significant cause of wetland loss in some parts of the globe.

This document outlines a PhD proposal on assessing how local human pressures influence lakes' vulnerability and responses to climate change across Europe. The proposal involves meta-analyzing paleoecological data from 15 lakes around the Alps to compare responses of pelagic biological communities to climate change and determine if variability depends on local human pressures. The student will analyze diatom and cladoceran remains and photosynthetic pigments in sediments to compare community responses over time between lakes and quantify the influence of geomorphology and local human impacts. The supervisors are from INRA CARRTEL in France and CNR ISE in Italy.

1) Marine spatial planning is a tool for managing competing activities and ecosystems in a changing marine environment.
2) The marine environment is heterogeneous and ecosystems are connected across spatial and temporal scales, which adds complexity to management.
3) Climate change affects physical, biochemical, and ecological conditions in the ocean and impacts human activities, requiring adaptations to be incorporated into marine spatial planning.
The document discusses climate change research activities funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). It provides an overview of FP7's structure and budget breakdown for climate change research. Key areas of research included understanding and predicting climate change; developing climate-friendly technologies; and improving tools for climate change mitigation and adaptation policy analysis. Specific projects studied climate processes, the role of oceans, carbon and nitrogen cycles, impacts in the Arctic, atmosphere pollution, and effects on water resources and ecosystems in Europe.
This document provides an introduction and overview of the Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ) project. It discusses the importance of coastal zones for human habitation and the environment. Coastal zones are facing increasing threats and changes due to natural variability and human impacts. The LOICZ project aims to understand biogeochemical fluxes and human impacts in coastal zones to inform management. Over a decade, LOICZ research addressed key questions around carbon and nutrient fluxes, changes from sea level rise, and impacts from land use and climate change. Major findings on these topics are synthesized in the book.
Flood risk in urban centers across the Philippines is increasing due to changes in ecological and hydrological processes. Both global and local drivers are intensifying these changes. Climate change is triggering an increase in hydro-meteorological hazards. Local land cover degradation, urbanization, conversion of floodplains and inappropriate hydro infrastructures have all increased our vulnerability to hydrological hazards.
In order to design appropriate responses the role and function of riparian ecosystems in regulation of flood is required to be understood not only in both spatial and temporal contexts, but also in socio cultural and economic contexts. This paper will look at emerging evidence based approaches from landscape ecology and ecohydrology to develop community driven low cost interventions that can better understand and measure land use degradation and direct land use management actions that can aid sustainable flood risk reduction.
Understanding land use influence to coastal ecosystems in the Rio Grande de M...Loretta Roberson
The document summarizes a research study on sediment dynamics in the Rio Grande de Manati Watershed and how land use influences riverine inputs to coastal ecosystems. The goals are to relate land use to sediment inputs in the river, analyze river contributions to the coast through suspended sediment, and establish relationships between suspended sediment, turbidity, and sunlight attenuation in the coast. Methodologies include generating a land use map using remote sensing, collecting suspended sediment samples at sites along the river and coast, and using satellites to measure the outfall influence on the coast. The study will help understand sediment generation and transport in the watershed to inform management practices that control sediment inputs to coastal zones.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

more important in C
storage.
Production and burial "in situ" are the promoters of
C stock in mangroves. Why?
12. Relations to Land Use Change
(Kauffman et al 2016)
-Mangroves conserved vs land use change to grazing
-The prediction: emissions would greater in mangroves due to land use change.

-YP is an important region to Blue Carbon projects
-There is more uncertainty in Seagrasses than Mangroves estimates
Next steeps= More plots, Remote sensing + Field data, New Technologies.
-Peten and dwarf mangroves have greater carbon stocks. Hydroperiod can be a controller.
-Seagrasses store more C in habitats with lower hydrodinamic condition.
-Conservation and restoration are the principal actions for mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
Landscape scale monitoring.
-Develop experimental manipulation of hydroperiod and coastal currents to determine the trajectories
of recovery in mangrove and seagrass, could help determine conditions of maximum potential of carbon
capture and storage.
-Research is needed on more precise estimates of the stores and flows (vertical and lateral) in these
ecosystems, and their relationship with resources (N, P), stressors (salinity, sulfur), hydroperiod, type
of activity, among others.
