Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The ubiquitous increase in globalization, high greenhouse gasses (GHGs) emission and aiming to achieve non-zero emissions in the future are feasible challenges for sustainable environment. Among the GHGs the carbon dioxide (CO2) counts for 65% of the total gasses emission. Human foot prints mainly fossil fuels consumption are the primary source. Surprisingly, remediation technologies, soil remediation, afforestation etc., are not enough to mitigate this challenge. In recognition of this emphasis shift, the open access journal Atmosphere hosting a special issue to overcome this issue by providing Nexus to GHGs emission with recent technologies including advanced oxidation technologies and their perspective management. The role of perspective management including green innovation, green management practice, and cost reduction strategies can play a significant role with the traditional mitigation techniques.

Topics of the special issue include but not limited to:

  • Nexus to GHGs emission
  • Recent remediation technologies regarding to GHGs emission
  • Role of perspective management in zero emission
  • Synergetic contribution of advanced oxidation techniques with perspective management
  • Analytical strategies to mitigate the GHGs emission.
  • Role of green innovation and practices to CO2 emission
  • Alternate strategies and cost-effective strategies for GHGs reduction

Crop residue burning (CRB) poses a serious threat to the climate, soil fertility, human health and wellbeing, and air quality, which increases mortality rates and slumps agricultural productivity. This study conducts a pan-India analysis of CRB burning based on the spatial characteristic of crop residue management practices and analyzes the linkage among health, agriculture value addition, and regional finance using the simultaneous equation to find the causality and panel quantile regression for direct effect and intergroup difference. We discuss some of the alternative crop residue management practices and policy interventions. Along with in situ management, this paper discusses ex situ crop residue management (CRM) solutions. The ex situ effort to manage crop residue failed due to the scarcity of the supply chain ecosystem. Force of habit and time constrain coupled with risk aversion have made farmers reluctant to adopt these solutions. Our results show that financial viability and crop residue have bidirectional causality; therefore, both the central and state governments must provide a financial solution to lure farmers into adopting residue management practices. Our analysis shows that framers are likely to adopt the management solution (farmers have some economic benefits) and are reluctant to adopt the scientific solution because the scientific solution, such as “pusa decomposer”, is constrained by the weather, temperature, and humidity, and these parameters vary throughout India.

Dust is the collection of fine particles of solid matter, and it is a major issue of atmospheric pollution. Dust particles are becoming the major pollutants of the urban environment due to hyperbolic manufacturing and automobile pollution. These atmospheric pollutants are not only hazardous for human beings, but they also affect tree growth, particularly in urban environments. This study was designed to examine the changes in morphological and physiological traits of three tree species seedlings (Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Conocarpus erectus, and Bombax ceiba) in response to different dust types. In a pot experiment under controlled conditions, three-month-old seedlings of selected trees species were subjected to four treatments of dust: T1 = controlled; T2 = wood dust; T3 = soil dust; and T4 = carbon dust. During the whole experiment, 10 g/plant/dose was applied in 8 doses with a one-week interval. The results depicted that the growth was the maximum in T1 (control) and the minimum in T4 (carbon dust). In our findings, B. ceiba performed better under the same levels of dust pollution as compared with the other two tree species. The B. ceiba tree species proved to be the most tolerant to dust pollution by efficiently demolishing oxidative bursts by triggering SOD, POD, and CAT under different dust types compared to controlled conditions. Stomatal conductance, photosynthetic rate, and transpiration rate were negatively influenced in all three tree species in response to different dust applications. Based on the findings, among these three tree species, B. ceiba is recommended for dust polluted areas followed by E. camaldulensis and Conocarpus erectus due to their better performance and efficient dust-foraging potential.
