Assessing the environmental hazard of nanoparticles can be a challenging task using various testing strategies. However, to our knowledge, no information is available about the impact of the sample preparation on the toxicity and toxicity mechanism of nanoparticles. For this aim, three sample preparation methods and their available toxicity procedu...

Urban settlements are the socio-economic drivers of human community. However, rapid urban expansion during recent times has a profound effect on regional as well as global rise in temperatures. Remote sensing is a powerful tool to monitor and quantify the expansion of urban built-up area and assess its effects on regional heating. Landsat-derived L...

Many places of the earth support high plant species richness, but emphasis is given to biodiversity hotspots with rich endemic species under threats of destruction by anthropogenic interventions. This definitely underplays species conservation at several places significant for optimisation of preserving natural ecosystems. Here we explore influence...

Investigating the impact of climate variables on net primary productivity is crucial to evaluate the ecosystem health and the status of forest type response to climate change. The objective of this paper is (1) to estimate spatio-temporal patterns of net primary productivity (NPP) during 2001 to 2010 in a tropical deciduous forest based on the inpu...

Mangroves are the highly productive and extensive ecosystem in the tropical coasts. Chlorophyll is the key foliar determinant of mangrove productivity. Optical characteristics of mangrove markedly differ from land vegetation; hence, defining narrowband spectral indices most sensitive to mangrove chlorophyll is crucial, in view of their importance t...

Population growth rate indicates the proportional rate of settlement expansion and landscape modification in any river basin. The Mahanadi River basin (MRB), which is a densely populated, cropland and forest-dominated landscape, is selected as a case study area for studying the nature of built-up expansion and the corresponding land cover modificat...

Herein, we have examined the seasonal variability and long-term trends in the recent 35 years (1980–2014) of the wind stresses and circulation features in the Equatorial Indian Ocean (EIO) using reanalysis and observed data. Annual mean flow of the EIO is eastward along the equator, with the strong current in the upper 80 m and weak below that. The...

Monitoring and assessment of vegetation phenology at the regional to global scale are essential to understand the characteristics of various biophysical parameters in terrestrial ecosystems. Passive optical remote sensing data have been used extensively in the recent past to study phenology of vegetation, also called land surface phenology, at dive...

Understanding the upper-ocean response to tropical cyclones (TCs) in terms of sea surface temperature (SST) cooling is of prime importance in the prediction of TC intensity. However, the magnitude of cooling during the passage of TC varies depending on storm characteristics and pre-existing upper-ocean conditions such as the presence of ocean eddy ...
