Extreme environments such as hyperarid, hypersaline, hyperthermal environments, and the deep sea harbor diverse microbial communities, which are specially adapted to extreme conditions and are known as extremophiles. These extremophilic organisms have developed unique survival strategies, making them ideal models for studying microbial diversity, evolution, and adaptation to adversity. They also play critical roles in biogeochemical cycles.

The rapid impact assessment matrix (RIAM) is a widely utilized tool for evaluating environmental impacts in municipal solid waste management. However, the traditional RIAM (T-RIAM) method includes ambiguities in its scoring classification, which can hinder decision-making accuracy. This study introduces a modified RIAM approach, enhancing classification precision by refining impact categories, making it particularly valuable for projects constrained by time and resources.

Accurate estimates of forest dynamics and above-ground forest biomass for the topographically challenging Himalaya are crucial for understanding carbon storage potential, assessing ecosystem services, and guiding conservation efforts in response to climate change. This dataset provides a manually delineated multi-temporal forest inventory and a comprehensive record of above-ground biomass (AGB) across the Kashmir Himalaya, generated from field observations, advanced remote sensing and machine learning. Data were collected and generated through remote sensing techniques and extensive in-situ measurements of 6220 trees (n=275 plots), including tree diameter at breast height, species composition, and tree density to map forest area and model AGB across varied terrain.

Background: Wearable sensor technologies, often referred to as "wearables," have seen a rapid rise in consumer interest in recent years. Initially often seen as "activity trackers," wearables have gradually expanded to also estimate sleep, stress, and physiological recovery. In occupational settings, there is a growing interest in applying this technology to promote health and well-being, especially in professions with highly demanding working conditions such as first responders.
