Nigeria’s agricultural sector relies heavily on rainfall, but insecurity in various regions poses significant challenges. This study aims to address this issue by identifying secure, rain-rich areas in northern Nigeria to support sustainable agriculture. Two models, one integrating classical statistical methods (polynomial and Fourier series fittings) and another using a hybrid approach (artificial neural networks, polynomial, and Fourier series fittings), were employed to analyze historical rainfall data from 1981 to 2021 in the selected districts (Kano, Zaria, Bida, Nguru, and Yelwa) known for their rainfall levels and security stability. The study demonstrates that the machine learning-classical hybrid model outperforms existing models, including the classical-classical hybrid and benchmark models like Iwok’s (2016) model, Fourier series, and SARIMA models. Multi-step ahead forecasting with this hybrid model reveals potential changes in rainfall patterns. Notably, Kano, Zaria, Bida, and Yelwa are expected to experience increased rainfall from 2022 to 2026, while Nguru may initially witness decreased rainfall, with improvement in the final year (2026). In conclusion, this study introduces an effective approach for rainfall modeling and forecasting, facilitating the identification of secure agricultural regions in northern Nigeria. These findings carry implications for crop production and agricultural development, contributing to climate resilience efforts and assisting stakeholders in strategic decision-making for regional agricultural investments.

Field‐scale measurements of soil physico‐chemical profiles of the Potohar region in the Indus basin of Pakistan - Manzoor Ahmad Malik; Muhammad Ashraf (Irrigation and Drainage, 2024)
Soil physico‐chemical properties are important for best management practices. We measured infiltration, bulk density, texture, water retention and chemical profiles from the surface to 1.0 m and lithology to 50 m depths at 30 sites. The infiltration data were fitted to the cumulative and infiltration rate models of Philip and Horton. The same sites were used for water retention, physico‐chemical properties and lithological assessment. The cumulative models fit persistently better than their infiltration rate forms. The Horton cumulative model fitted statistically better than the corresponding Philip model. The dominant steady‐state infiltration rates were 15–30 and 30–45 mm h −1 over the entire profile. Sandy loam, loam and silt loam were the dominant soils. The percentages of sandy loam decreased, whereas silt loam increased, with depth. Water retention parameters and lithological strata were diverse and in harmony with physiography. Soil organic matter varied up to 2.5%. No sodicity or salinity was detected except in sparse saline seeps. The central tendency and extrema of the measured parameters were compatible with the literature, and the CVs of the soil hydraulic parameters were greater than those of the physical parameters. Comprehensive data are presented, which will serve as an important reference for regional and global repositories.

Meta‐analysis contrasting freshwater biodiversity in forests and oil palm plantations with and without riparian buffers - Oscar Alberto Rojas‐Castillo; Sebastian Kepfer Rojas; Leandro Juen; Luciano Fogaça de Assis Montag; Fernando Geraldo Carvalho; Thiago Pereira Mendes; Kenny Wei Jie Chua; Clare L. Wilkinson; Mohammad Noor Azmai Amal; Muhammad Fahmi‐Ahmad; Dean Jacobsen (Conservation Biology, 2024)
The expansion of oil palm plantations has led to land‐use change and deforestation in the tropics, which has affected biodiversity. Although the impacts of the crop on terrestrial biodiversity have been extensively reviewed, its effects on freshwater biodiversity remain relatively unexplored. We reviewed the research assessing the impacts of forest‐to‐oil palm conversion on freshwater biota and the mitigating effect of riparian buffers on these impacts. We searched for studies comparing taxa richness, species abundance, and community composition of macroinvertebrates, amphibians, and fish in streams in forests (primary and disturbed) and oil palm plantations with and without riparian buffers. Then, we conducted a meta‐analysis to quantify the overall effect of the land‐use change on the 3 taxonomic groups. Twenty‐nine studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. On average, plantations lacking buffers hosted 44% and 19% fewer stream taxa than primary and disturbed forests, respectively. Stream taxa on plantations with buffers were 24% lower than in primary forest and did not differ significantly from disturbed forest. In contrast, stream community composition differed between forests and plantations regardless of the presence of riparian buffers. These differences were attributed to agrochemical use and altered environmental conditions in the plantations, including temperature changes, worsened water conditions, microhabitat loss, and food and shelter depletion. On aggregate, abundance did not differ significantly among land uses because increases in generalist species offset the population decline of vulnerable forest specialists in the plantation. Our results reveal significant impacts of forest‐to‐oil palm conversion on freshwater biota, particularly taxa richness and composition (but not aggregate abundance). Although preserving riparian buffers in the plantations can mitigate the loss of various aquatic species, it cannot conserve primary forest communities. Therefore, safeguarding primary forests from the oil palm expansion is crucial, and further research is needed to address riparian buffers as a promising mitigation strategy in agricultural areas.

Spatiotemporal variability of precipitation concentration in Pakistan - Muhammad Zaman; Muhammad Adnan Shahid; Ijaz Ahmad; Yan‐Jun Shen; Muhammad Usman; Muhammad Imran Khan; Muhammad Saifullah (International Journal of Climatology, 2023)
Precipitation is a meteorological variable that plays a vital role in determining water resources and managing water risks. The intensity and frequency of precipitation extremes have increased in recent years; however, the changes in precipitation regimes across Pakistan remain unclear. This study analysed spatial and temporal changes in the precipitation concentration index (PCI) and concentration index (CI) from 100 meteorological stations across Pakistan from 1981 to 2017. Using innovative trend analysis (ITA) and Pettitt's test, we detected trends and change points in the annual and wet season PCI and CI. Additionally, we examined the relationship between PCI/CI values and latitude and altitude. The results revealed that the CI and PCI ranged between 0.48–0.78 and 10–55, respectively, with higher values being more prevalent in the dry and hot zones of the country. The study established a linear relationship between PCI/CI values, latitude and altitude, with higher values at lower altitudes and a decrease in values from south to north. Most stations presented a significant positive ITA trend for PCI and CI from 1981 to 2017, with a change between 1985 and 1995, indicating an overall increase in heavy precipitation events in the area. These findings are crucial for disaster preparedness, water resource planning, the mitigation of drought and flood risks, and conservation efforts.

Climate-induced shifts in irrigation water demand and supply during sensitive crop growth phases in South Asia - Qurat-ul-Ain Ahmad; Eddy Moors; Hester Biemans; Nuzba Shaheen; Ilyas Masih; Muhammad Zia ur Rahman Hashmi (Climatic Change, 2023)
This study investigated the shifts in irrigation water demand and supply of the major staple and water-intensive crops (wheat and rice) in the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra (IGB) river basins of South Asia under the combined impacts of climate change and socio-economic development during the period 1981–2100. It explores irrigation water usage during climate-sensitive crop growth phases (i.e. vegetative and reproductive which required ~ 60% of the total seasonal (sowing to harvest) water demand), which is supposed to be crucial for long-term integrated crop water management. A hydrology vegetation model Lund Potsdam Jena Managed Land is forced with an ensemble of eight downscaled (5 arc-min) global climate model’s using the RCP (Representative concentration pathways) -SSP (Shared socio-economic pathways) framework, i.e. RCP4.5-SSP1 and RCP8.5-SSP3. To investigate phase-specific crop water projections, trend analysis is performed. It shows a significant ( p <0.001) increase in irrigation water demand during the vegetative phase of wheat (6 mm) and reproductive phase of rice (26 mm) and a decrease during the reproductive phase of wheat (13 mm) and vegetative phase of rice (11 mm) in selected study sites. The large decrease in projected irrigation demand for wheat can be explained by a shortening of the growing season length as a result of rising temperatures and increased precipitation. Whereas, an increase in irrigation demand for rice is a combined effect of higher temperatures and less precipitation during the reproductive phase in the region. At the same time, irrigation supply by surface water and groundwater is likely to change in future due to warmer and drier growing periods, causing a significant increase in groundwater irrigation, mainly for rice. Our major research findings show the importance of crop water assessments during the sensitive crop growth phases of wheat and rice which vary in space and time. Including crop phase-specific, climate impact assessments of regional and global projection will help improve the region’s existing crop-water management strategies and adaptation practices.

Sustainable production of bread wheat using laser land levelling and sowing methods as potent regulators of carbon sequestration, fuel consumption and water use in the arid environment of Bahawalpur, Pakistan - Muhammad Shahid; Muhammad Farrukh Saleem; Amna Saleem; Shakeel Ahmad Anjum; Arshad Hussain (Irrigation and Drainage, 2023)
Excessive use of water in wheat is associated with high fuel consumption and the emission of carbon dioxide into the environment. This study was conducted with the objectives to decrease water use and the associated fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions and to improve the productivity of wheat on a sustainable basis using LASER levelling and sowing methods as potent modulators of these adversities. The experiment was conducted in the research area of the Agronomic Research Station Bahawalpur over 3 years using a split‐plot experimental design and four replications. Treatments contained LASER levelling in the main plot (L 0 = no LASER levelling, L 1 = LASER levelling) and sowing methods in split plots (S 1 = broadcast, S 2 = ridge sowing and S 3 = drill sowing). Less water use, fuel consumption and emission of carbon dioxide were quantified under ‘LASER levelling’ and under ‘ridge sowing’ compared to other treatments. Regarding wheat crop productivity, the same treatment combination (LASER levelling and ridge sowing) resulted in more fertile tillers, grains per spike, 1000‐grain weight and grain yield. Therefore, we concluded that ‘LASER levelling’ and ‘ridge sowing’ have the potential to reduce the cost involved and environmental pollution (by reducing fuel consumption) and improve water use efficiency, grain yield and yield components of wheat compared to other treatments. Moreover, strong negative associations of water use, fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions with the grain yield of wheat were recorded.
