Multidisciplinary nature of environmental studiesSarthakKedia1
Environmental studies is called as a topic which is multidisciplinary in nature as it includes studies of multiple topics in order to understand it in a much more better end more explained and detailed manner.
Environmental studies deals with every aspect that affect the living organism.
It is essentially a multidisciplinary approach that brings about an appreciation of our nature world and human impact its integrity.
Environment is a aggregate of physical, chemical, biological and social component on earth which are capable of causing direct or indirect effect in a short or long term on living or non living things and their interactions and activity.
The term "Natural resources" was first coined and popularized by E.F. Schumacher in the 1970's by his famous book “Small is Beautiful”. A natural resource can be defined as any substance that is present in nature independently of human industry and that is exploited in some or another way by humans. Forest, Water, Minerals, Food, Energy and Land are apparent examples because these are frequently utilized.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

3. What Is Environmental Studies?
• Environmental studies are the scientific study of the
environmental system and the status of its inherent
or induced changes on organisms.
• It includes not only the study of physical and
biological characters of the environment but also the
social and cultural factors and the impact of man on
environment.
4. What Is Environment?
• The circumstances, objects, or conditions by which
one is surrounded. The complex of physical, chemical,
and biotic factors (such as climate, soil, and living
things) that act upon an organism or an ecological
community and ultimately determine its form and
survival.

6. Scope Of Environmental Studies
• The environment consist of 4 segments are:-
• Atmosphere :- The atmosphere forms a distinctive
protective layer about 100 km thick around the earth. A
blanket of gases called the atmosphere surrounds the earth
and protects the surface of earth from the sun’s harmful,
ultraviolet rays. It also regulates temperature, preventing the
earth from becoming too hot or too cold. The atmosphere is
composed of nitrogen and oxygen besides, argon, carbon
dioxide and trace gases.
7. • Hydrosphere :- The Hydrosphere comprises all types of
water resources oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, streams,
reservoirs, polar icecaps, glaciers, and ground water. Oceans
represent 97% of the earth’s water and about 2% of the water
resources is locked in the polar icecaps and glaciers. Only
about 1% is available as fresh water as surface water in rivers,
lakes, streams, and as ground water for human use.
• Lithosphere:- Lithosphere is the outer mantle of the solid
earth. It consists of minerals occurring in the earth’s crusts
and the soil e.g. minerals, organic matter, air and water.
• Biosphere:- Biosphere indicates the realm of living
organisms and their interactions with environment, via
atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere.
8. Importance Of Environmental Studies
1. Environment Issues are being of Global: It has been well
recognized that environment issues like global warming and
ozone depletion, acid rain, marine pollution and biodiversity are
not merely national issues but are global issues and hence
require international efforts and cooperation to solve them.
2. To understand the impacts of development on
environment: development results in Industrial growth,
urbanization, expansion of telecommunication and
transport systems, hi-tech agriculture and expansion of
housing. Environmental science seeks to teach the general
population about the need for decentralization of
industries to reduce congestion in urban areas.
Decentralization means many people will move out of
urban centers to reduce pollution resulting from
overpopulation.
9. 3. Explosive Increase in Pollution: Evidently with 16 per
cent of the world's population and only 2.4 per cent of its land
area, there is a heavy pressure on the natural resources
including land. Agricultural experts have recognized soil
health problems like deficiency of micronutrients and organic
matter, soil salinity and damage of soil structure.
4. To Discover Sustainable Ways Of Living: Environmental
science is more concerned with discovering ways to live more
sustainably. This means utilizing present resources in a
manner that conserves their supplies for the future. This
includes minimizing household energy consumption, using
disposals to dispose of waste, eating locally, recycling more,
growing your own food, drinking from the tap, conserving
household water, and driving your car less.
10. Need For Public Awareness
• In today’s world because of industrialization and
increasing population, the natural resources has been
rapidly utilized and our environment is being
increasingly degraded by human activities, so we need
to protect the environment.
• It is not only the duty of government but also the
people to take active role for protecting the
environment, so protecting our environment is
economically more viable than cleaning it up once, it is
damaged.
11. • The role of mass media such as newspapers, radio,
television, etc is also very important to make people
aware regarding environment.
• There are various institutions, which are playing
positive role towards environment to make people
aware regarding environment like BSI (Botanical
Survey of India, 1890), ZSI (Zoological Survey of
India, 1916), WII (Wild Life Institute of India, 1982)
etc.
12. What Is Natural Resource?
• Natural resources are useful raw materials that
we get from the Earth. They occur naturally,
which means that humans cannot make natural
resources. Instead, we use and modify natural
resources in ways that are beneficial to us. The
materials used in human-made objects are
natural resources.
13. Types Of Natural Resources
Natural
resources
Renewable
Non-
renewable
14. Renewable Resources
• A renewable resource is one that can be used repeatedly and
does not run out because it is naturally replaced. A renewable
resource, essentially, has an endless supply such as solar
energy, wind energy, and geothermal pressure.
• Most precious metals are renewable also. Although precious
metals are not naturally replaced, they can be recycled because
they are not destroyed during their extraction and use.
• Examples: Alcohol, Methane, Geothermal Energy (capturing
the heat trapped within the earth's surface and converting it to
usable energy), Trees & Lumber, Hydropower, Food Crops and
so on.
15. Non-renewable Resources
• A nonrenewable resource is a natural substance that is not
replenished with the speed at which it is consumed. It is
a finite resource.
• Nonrenewable resources come from the Earth. Humans extract
them in gas, liquid, or solid form and then convert them for
their use, mainly related to energy. The reserves of these
substances took billions of years to form, and it will take
billions of years to replace the supplies used.
• Example: Fossils Fuel, Crude Oil And Petroleum, Natural Gas,
Coal, Uranium Ore and so on.
16. Role Of Individual In Conservation Of Natural
Resources
oConservation of energy:
1. Switch off light, fan and other appliances when not in use.
2. Use solar heater for cooking.
3. Dry the cloth in the sun light instead of driers.
4. Use always pressure cookers
5. Grow trees near the house to get cool breeze instead of using AC and cooler.
6. Ride bicycle or just walk instead of using scooter for a short distance.
oConservation of water:
1. Use minimum water for all domestic purposes.
2. check the water leaks in pipes and repair them properly.
3. Reuse the soapy water, after washing clothes for washing courtyard, carpets
etc.
4. Use drip irrigation.
5. Rain water harvesting system should be installed in all the houses.
6. Sewage treatment plant may be installed in all industries and institution.
17. oConservation of soil:
1. Grow different type plants i.e. trees, herbs and shrubs.
2. In the irrigation process, using strong flow of water should be avoided.
3. Soil erosion can be prevented by sprinkling irrigation.
oConservation of food resources:
1.Cook required amount of food.
2.Don’t waste the food, give it to some one before spoiling.
3.Don’t store large amount of food grains and protect them from damaging
insects.
oConservation of forest:
1.Use non timber product.
2.Plant more trees.
3.Grassing must be controlled
4.Minimise the use of paper and fuel.
5.Avoid the construction of dam, road in the forest areas.
18. Equitable Use Of Resources For Sustainable
Lifestyle
oSustainable Development:
Development of healthy environment without damaging natural
resources.
oUnsustainable Development:
• Degradation of the environment due to over utilization of natural
resources.
• Life style in more developed countries:
• 22% of world population, 88% of it’s natural resources and 85% of
total global income.
• Consumption is more and pollution is more.
19. oLife style in less developed countries:
• 78% of world population, 12% of it’s natural resources and 15% of
total global income.
• Consumption is less and pollution is less.
oCauses of unsustainability:
• Main cause – difference between MDCs(more developed
countries) and LDCs(least developed country)
oSustainable life style:
• MDCs should have to reduce the utilization of natural resources,
that should have to be diverted to LDCs. This will reduce the gap
between MDCs and LDCs, leads to sustainable development of the
entire world.
