Climate-Induced Infertility in Dairy Cows: Pathways, Challenges, and Solutions for Sustainable Dairy Development
Abstract: Climate change has emerged as a significant challenge to dairy production, with profound implications for reproductive performance in dairy cows. The interplay of rising temperatures, fluctuating rainfall patterns, and increased frequency of extreme weather events disrupts key physiological, nutritional, and behavioral processes essential for fertility. Heat stress alters hormonal balance, impairs oocyte and embryo quality, reduces estrus expression, and affects pregnancy outcomes. Concurrently, climate-induced nutritional deficits, immune suppression, and increased …

Physiographic, Climatic, and Hydrogeological Determinants of Urban Flooding in Bhopal: A Spatial Assessment
Abstract: Bhopal, capital city of Madhya Pradesh, is uniquely shaped by hilly terrain, lake systems, and complex hydrogeological characteristics, which historically supported efficient natural drainage. However, rapid urbanization, encroachment, and alterations in land use have increasingly disrupted these natural systems, amplifying the city’s susceptibility to urban flooding. The city’s physiography, defined by five major hills, undulating slopes, and a network of natural drainage channels, directs runoff toward low-lying zones that frequently …

Unveiling Bihar's Atmospheric Crisis: A Synoptic Review of PM 2.5 Dynamics, Source Attribution, and Airshed Vulnerabilities in the Eastern Indo-Gangetic Plain (Bihar)
Abstract: Bihar, situated in the pollution-trapping Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP), faces a severe air pollution crisis characterized by annual PM2.5 concentrations of 80–100 μg m-3 exceeding WHO guidelines (5 μg m-3) and Indian NAAQS (40 μg m-3) by 4–6-fold. This review synthesizes data from CPCB/BSPCB monitoring, MODIS satellite retrievals, and peer-reviewed studies (2000–2025) to assess ambient air quality, sources, health impacts, policies, and research gaps in the state. PM2.5 and PM10 dominate, …
