Severe deterioration in food-energy-ecosystem nexus due to ongoing Russia-Ukraine war: A critical review.

The Russia-Ukraine war is having far-reaching negative impacts on the food-energy-ecosystem nexus and has resulted in an increase in environmental pollution not only in the war-affected regions. The purpose of this review is to critically evaluate the degradation caused by the war and its implications for the food-energy-ecosystem nexus. By examining the specific environmental impacts, this review provides an in-depth understanding of the extent of the damage and its consequences for the interconnected systems of food production, energy supply, and the overall ecosystem.

Magmatic thickening of crust in non-plate tectonic settings initiated the subaerial rise of Earth's first continents 3.3 to 3.2 billion years ago.

When and how Earth's earliest continents-the cratons-first emerged above the oceans (i.e., emersion) remain uncertain.

Kinetics of Aqueous Cu(II) Biosorption onto Leaf Powder.

Copper is an essential micronutrient; however, as a result of its increasing demand, subsequent mining followed by its direct discharge into the environment has led to the contamination of our ecosystem. (TP) is an ornamental herb of medicinal interest and is extensively used as an antipyretic and anticancer agent due to the presence of cardiac glycosides. In this work, we have explored the TP leaf powder as a biosorbent for Cu(II) removal from aqueous media and observed that it yields better results in comparison to other reported biosorbents for the removal of Cu(II).

Ni/Co/Ti layered double hydroxide for highly efficient photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B and Acid Red G: a comparative study.

Optically responsive, luminescent Ni/Co/Ti layered double hydroxide (LDH), synthesized by a single step hydrothermal route, exhibits highly efficient photodegradation of cationic and anionic dyes, Rhodamine B (∼99.8%) and Acid Red G (∼99.6%) respectively, better than that of commercial catalysts like NiO, CoO and TiO.
