Punjab’s Wetlands as Inland Analogues of Marine Ecosystems: Status, Stressors and CommunityLed Conservation.
Abstract: Aquatic and wetland ecosystems in Punjab, India, represent ecologically significant yet increasingly degraded socioecological systems embedded within an intensively managed agrarian landscape. Despite their recognised importance, existing studies largely treat these systems using conventional freshwater ecological frameworks, with limited integration of microbiologically mediated processes and broader ecosystem theories. A key research gap, therefore, lies in the lack of interdisciplinary approaches that can holistically interpret wetland structure, function, and governance across …

Exploring the Impact of Micro plastics on Soil Ecosystems and Agricultural Productivity
Abstract: This research paper delves into the concerning issue of microplastic contamination in soil ecosystems and its potential consequences for agricultural productivity. Microplastics, defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 millimetres, have garnered significant attention for their adverse impacts on marine environments, yet their effects on soil ecosystems have been relatively overlooked. Through a review of existing literature and empirical analysis, this paper aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which microplastics …

Livestock and Rural Livelihoods: Nutritional, Economic, and Environmental Pathways to Sustainable Development
Abstract: Livestock play a pivotal role in sustaining rural livelihoods by contributing to economic stability, social empowerment, and environmental resilience. This study explores the diverse functions of livestock in rural communities, focusing on their contributions to income generation, food security, nutrient cycling, and cultural practices. Livestock provide essential goods such as milk, meat, eggs, and fiber, which not only enhance household nutrition but also generate revenue for millions of rural families. …
