The study highlights that combining conventional methods with emerging nano-approaches may offer the most effective path to protecting soil health under changing environmental conditions.
Perspectives on climate change in South Asia
Nine researchers from South Asia discussed progress in understanding and responding to climate change across a region home to roughly a quarter of the world's population. The viewpoint covered advances in climate modeling, adaptation strategies, and policy development, while acknowledging persistent challenges from extreme heat, flooding, and economic vulnerability.
Role of soil health in mitigating climate change
This chapter reviews how healthy soils play a critical role in fighting climate change by storing carbon and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Researchers explain that unsustainable farming practices release stored carbon as CO2, while conservation approaches can restore soil carbon levels. The study emphasizes that sustainable soil management is essential for building resilience to climate change.
Examining the Adaptation of Agriculture to Climate Change in Africa
This study examines agricultural adaptation strategies being deployed across Africa in response to climate change, focusing on how smallholder farmers and policymakers are responding to shifting precipitation patterns, temperature extremes, and degraded soil conditions.
Role of soil microplastic pollution in climate change
This review examined the bidirectional relationship between soil microplastic pollution and climate change, exploring how microplastics affect soil carbon cycling, greenhouse gas emissions, and how climate factors influence microplastic behavior in soils.
Soil pollution and remediation: emerging challenges and innovations
This perspective reviews emerging challenges in soil pollution, including contamination from heavy metals, pesticides, PFAS, and microplastics, all worsened by urbanization and climate change. Researchers highlight innovative monitoring and remediation technologies, such as advanced sensors, bioremediation, and machine learning approaches for predicting contamination patterns. The study emphasizes the need for sustainable, integrated soil management strategies to protect environmental health.
A Facile Review on the Legal Issues and Challenges Concerning the Conservation and Preservation of Biodiversity
This review examines global legal frameworks and challenges concerning biodiversity conservation in the face of climate change, analyzing how rising temperatures driven by human activities threaten natural habitats and species worldwide.
Implications of climate change on water quality and sanitation in climate hotspot locations: A case study in Indonesia
This review assesses water quality challenges in Indonesia, where 70% of rivers are heavily polluted and only 10% of rainfall reaches groundwater. Water availability has dropped sharply, with a supply deficit of 5.5 cubic hectometers per year. While focused on broader water quality issues including industrial and domestic waste, the findings illustrate how inadequate water infrastructure in climate-vulnerable regions leaves populations exposed to emerging contaminants like microplastics.
Enhancing Organic Carbon Content in Tropical Soils: Strategies for Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Change Mitigation
This review examines strategies for increasing organic carbon content in tropical soils, which naturally tend to have low levels that limit agricultural productivity. Researchers evaluated approaches including cover cropping, composting, biochar application, and reduced tillage as effective methods. The study emphasizes that building soil carbon is essential for both sustainable farming and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in tropical regions.
A comprehensive review on the negative impacts on Sundarbans fisheries: Insights from the hydrological changes modulated by climate change and anthropogenic activities
This review examines the interconnected threats to fisheries in the Sundarbans mangrove ecosystem from climate change and human activities. Researchers found that hydrological changes from rising sea levels, cyclones, and salinity fluctuations, combined with pollution from pesticides, heavy metals, microplastics, and oil spills, are degrading fish habitats and contaminating edible fish tissues. The study identifies critical research gaps including insufficient long-term climate monitoring and limited data on pollutant levels in the region.
Climate Change—The Rise of Climate-Resilient Crops
This review discusses efforts to breed climate-resilient crops that can withstand extreme weather events like droughts, floods, and heat waves caused by climate change. While not about microplastics, the research is relevant because microplastic contamination in agricultural soil adds another stress factor that crops must cope with. As both climate change and plastic pollution worsen, understanding how plants respond to combined environmental stresses becomes increasingly important for food security.
Environmental Challenges Awareness in Nigeria: A Review
This review examines environmental challenges in Nigeria and globally, including climate change, deforestation, urbanization, improper waste disposal, and plastic pollution, identifying anthropogenic drivers and discussing awareness gaps and policy needs for environmental protection and sustainable management.
Factors Affecting Wetland Loss: A Review

Enhancing carbon restoration and ecosystem resilience in global drylands via water-to-carbon biotransformation strategies
Researchers synthesized thousands of experiments on dryland farming and found that combining crop diversification, efficient irrigation, soil mulching, and soil health practices can significantly restore carbon to depleted soils while improving water use efficiency. The study argues these strategies are practical pathways for combating climate change and food insecurity in the world's most water-stressed regions.
