Nitrogen Deposition Levels Affect Soil Aggregate Stabilization and Organic Carbon Dynamics by Altering Chemical Composition and Glomalin‐Related Soil Protein in the Desert Steppe of Northwest China
Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition significantly alters soil aggregate (SA) stability and soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in grassland ecosystems, though the effects of varying N deposition levels remain inadequately understood. Here we evaluate the effect of varying N addition levels on SA and organic carbon stability. A 6‐year N addition experiment was conducted in a desert steppe, comprising CK (0 g·m −2 ·yr. −1 ), low N (5 and 10 g·m −2…

Effects of nutrient addition on the composition and chemical characteristics of soil dissolved organic matter in a desert steppe in northern China
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a critical role in ecosystem function and productivity, particularly in carbon (C) cycling in grassland ecosystems. However, changes in the structural complexity of DOM in a desert steppe following long‐term treatment with nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) remain unclear; this limits our understanding of the nutrient‐related soil C cycle in a desert steppe. In the present study, soil experiments were conducted i…
Resurrection of Tehrik‐e‐Taliban Pakistan Amidst Afghan Regime’s Indifference
As the Afghan Taliban came to power in August 2021, the terrorist attacks by the Afghanistan‐based Tehrik‐e‐Taliban Pakistan (TTP) operatives intensified in Pakistan. Despite Pakistan’s repeated requests, the Taliban’s regime looked the other way and facilitated a renewed spate of TTP‐led terrorism in Pakistan, specifically its regions dividing the two countries. This article scrutinizes the multifaceted threats of TTP’s brutal resurgence to inte…
Integrating role of green buildings in achieving carbon neutrality in an era of climate emergency
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently stated that a swift ecological transition in transport, energy, and construction is required to reach the global emission reduction target. Around 40% of global emissions come from residential and commercial buildings. Therefore, this study developed a green building adoption model based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, which encourages firms to implement these novel…
Nutrient addition affects stability of soil organic matter and aggregate by altering chemical composition and exchangeable cations in desert steppe in northern China
Nitrogen and phosphorus can influence the stability of soil organic matter (SOM) and aggregate, which are important for ecosystem functions. However, understanding remains limited regarding the impact of nutrient addition on soil aggregate stability, aggregate‐relevant organic matter and nutrients in desert steppe. Here, we studied the variation of soil aggregate stability, nutrients, and the exchangeable cations distribution characteristics, and…

D Co-Seismic Surface Displacements Measured by DInSAR and MAI of the 2017 Sarpol Zahab Earthquake, Mw7.3
On 12 November 2017, an earthquake occurred in Sarpol Zahab city, located on the Iraq/Iran boundary, with a moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.3. Advanced Land Observing Satellite 2 (ALOS-2) L-band (23.6 cm wavelength) and C-band Sentinel-1A data (ascending and descending) were used to detect the co-seismic displacements maps caused by this earthquake.

Impact of Protracted Displacement on Delay in the Diagnosis Associated with Treatment Outcomes
Human displacement is on the rise globally, and the increase in the burden of tuberculosis (TB) is also attributed to migrations worldwide. A significant number of such displacements occur in regions with considerably higher areas of TB burden. Displacements may delay TB diagnosis and treatment, which will possibly lead to TB transmission among healthy individuals. In this study, we assessed the association of existing determinants after a protra…

Adaptation to Climate Change in Rain-Fed Farming System in Punjab, Pakistan
Farmers in the rain-fed agriculture in arid regions are highly exposed to the adverse effects of climate change due to complete reliance on frequency, intensity, and timing of the rainfall. Adaptation, in such condition, becomes crucial to remain in farming in climate change regime. In the rural settings of the less-developed areas, farm households mostly adapt to risks posed by climate change individually. However, the benefits of private adapta…
