Microplastic (MP) pollution has become a significant environmental concern due to its persistent nature and toxic environmental effects. MPs pose threats to the aquatic and terrestrial environment by impacting plant habitats and altering soil properties. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are one of the most prominent channels for MP pollution in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. MP particles separated during various treatment processes are trapped in the sludge and subsequently enter the terrestrial agroecosystem when sludge is used as fertilizer. In addition, sludge incineration releases tiny MP particles into the atmosphere. Although MPs have been extensively studied in aquatic environments, limited studies are available regarding their transport to agricultural ecosystems and the pathways through which they pose risk to food security and soil fertility. This review aims to evaluate the prevalence of MPs within sewage sludge and their subsequent translocation into terrestrial agroecosystems. A critical investigation has been carried out to address the challenges in detecting MPs in complex sludge samples to provide guidance for developing standardized and widely accepted methodologies. Furthermore, the impacts of MPs on soil fertility and biota were assessed and investigated from the perspective of agricultural production. This review aims to compile evidence of the presence and transport of MPs through sewage sludge applied to agricultural lands and help policymakers and environmentalists in developing viable strategies to protect agricultural land from MP pollution.

The Methodological Evolution of the Water-Food-Energy Nexus Index in Agriculture: A Systematic Review - Nisar Muhammad; Rashid Farooq; Khan Zaib Jadoon; Ghufran Ahmed Pasha (Water Resources Management, 2026)
The Water-Food-Energy (WFE) nexus has become a central framework for addressing resource sustainability in agriculture, yet its operationalization increasingly relies on composite indices whose methodological foundations remain fragmented. This study presents the first systematic and critical review of the Water-Food-Energy Nexus Index (WFENI) applied in agricultural systems. Following a rigorous PRISMA-guided protocol, we analyzed 21 peer-reviewed studies to examine indicator selection, index construction, weighting schemes, and validation practices. The review reveals a clear methodological evolution from early resource-efficiency metrics toward expanded frameworks that integrate environmental, climate, and emission dimensions. While normalization approaches are largely standardized, substantial divergence exists in weighting and aggregation, marking a gradual shift from equal and expert-based weights toward data-driven and optimization-based methods. However, a critical “robustness gap” persists: the vast majority of studies lack formal sensitivity or uncertainty analysis, raising serious concerns about reliability. This review systematically maps these methodological trends and outlines a strategic agenda for future research, advocating for the institutionalization of robustness testing, dynamic modeling, and expanded system boundaries to enhance the rigor and policy relevance of agricultural sustainability assessments.

Robust fitting of the generalized Pareto distribution for extreme precipitation modeling: a case study in Japan - Muhammad Aslam Mohd Safari; Tosiyuki Nakaegawa; Nurulkamal Masseran (Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2026)
This study introduces a robust-efficient method for estimating the parameters of the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD), based on the probability integral transform. The probability integral transform estimator (PITE) is designed to enhance robustness in the presence of outliers, a frequent challenge in modeling extreme events. We also study the properties of PITE, including its efficiency and its robustness based on score function and breakdown point, demonstrating its ability to handle extreme data with minimal sensitivity to outliers. In addition, PITE offers computational simplicity, making it accessible for practical applications. Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the PITE family provides a flexible balance between robustness and efficiency: high-efficiency versions perform comparably to traditional estimators for uncontaminated data, while more robust versions often yield smaller deficiencies in simulated scenarios with data contamination. Applied alongside the peaks over threshold approach, PITE effectively models the tail behavior of extreme precipitation events. The method is applied to daily precipitation data from 12 meteorological stations in southern Japan, a region highly susceptible to extreme rainfall due to typhoons and complex climatic factors. Using PITE, GPD parameters are estimated, and return levels for 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, and 200-year periods are calculated. The results reveal significant regional variability in extreme precipitation, with stations such as Naze, Miyazaki, and Kumamoto displaying particularly high return levels, indicative of their vulnerability to intense rainfall. The robust application of PITE provides critical insights for flood risk management in southern Japan, particularly in typhoon-prone settings where storm-driven extremes can act as potential outliers, highlighting the importance of localized strategies to mitigate the impact of extreme precipitation events.

Beyond coherence: a DAC criteria review of Sri Lanka’s climate policy architecture - Chamara Senadeera; Abu Sadat Muhammad Sayem; Walter Leal Filho; Grace Farhat; Haruna Musa Moda; Ruvini Dissanayake (Regional Environmental Change, 2026)
Climate change is intensifying Sri Lanka’s exposure to multiple hazards, including floods, droughts, landslides, cyclones, coastal risks and heat stress, with growing consequences for livelihoods, infrastructure, public health and national development. This analysis evaluates whether Sri Lanka’s contemporary climate policy architecture is sufficiently coherent and operationally robust to support effective climate resilience. A qualitative policy analysis was undertaken of eight core national climate-related instruments, generated by analytically combining thirteen policy and institutional documents published between 2021 and 2025. The study employed NVivo-based content analysis and a structured benchmarking framework based on an adapted Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Development Assistance Committee framework, which assessed relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, equity and sustainability. The pilot coding process achieved an intercoder reliability score of 0.81, indicating strong agreement between coders. The findings indicate that Sri Lanka’s policy architecture performs strongly on relevance and coherence, with mean scores of 4.1 and 3.9, respectively, reflecting substantial strategic alignment with the country’s multi-hazard climate risk profile. However, effectiveness and efficiency remained moderate, with both recording mean scores of 3.1, while equity and gender considerations emerged as the weakest dimension at 3.0. Sustainability varied across instruments depending on the extent to which they incorporated operational monitoring, statutory review cycles and multi-year financing arrangements. Instruments with clearer SMART targets, operational monitoring, reporting and verification systems, designated institutional responsibilities and costed financing pathways performed more strongly than those relying on broad commitments or annualised budget structures. Overall, Sri Lanka’s principal climate governance challenge lies not in the absence of policy ambition, but in the incomplete institutionalisation of delivery systems needed to convert strategic coherence into measurable resilience outcomes. Aim of the study To critically evaluate the coherence and implementation robustness of Sri Lanka’s contemporary national climate policy architecture in order to determine whether strategic policy commitments are supported by adequate institutional design, financing arrangements, monitoring systems, equity safeguards and long-term sustainability in the context of escalating multi-hazard climate risks.

Widespread declining trends of snow water resources and their driving factors in water towers of Indus River - Giovanna Grossi; Rubina Ansari; Muhammad Usman Liaqat (Regional Environmental Change, 2026)
The importance of seasonal snowpack in sustaining water resources for both ecological systems and anthropogenic activities is undeniable. Yet these vital systems are highly fragile and particularly susceptible to the impacts of human activities and climate change. The present study assesses the space–time variation in maximum snow water equivalent (SWEmax) and maximum daily snowmelt (SMmax) in terms of magnitude and timing and their response to variations in elevation, seasonal precipitation, and temperature which serve as an insightful indicator of hydrological change in snow water resources. The proposed framework combines long term daily snow water equivalent (SWE) and snowmelt data with multiple snow metrics, trend analysis, and attribution to seasonal temperature and precipitation, and is applied across the headwaters of the Indus River (Upper Indus Basin) for the period 1979–2019. Results show that the widespread loss in snow water resources has occurred across most parts of the UIB in recent decades especially at mid elevation and their trends are not linearly related to elevation and are highly heterogeneous between sub-basins. However, contrasting results are observed for cold dessert areas of UIB. Snow dominated basins, e.g., Jhelum, Chenab, and Swat, are the hotspots for the change in snow water resources, with significantly reduced and earlier snowpack and snowmelt peaks. These changes are primarily driven by temperature and precipitation, with their relative importance varying based on elevation and sub-basin characteristics. Specifically, the influence of precipitation and temperature on SWEmax is more strongly dependent on elevation, while winter melt (FMmax) is more influenced by sub-basin location. In contrast, SMmax exhibits variations in relative importance across both elevation and sub-basin scales. Negative changes in snow water resources in these mid-elevation zones have strong implications for downstream water availability.

A study on using custom 3D-printed tongue bites for radiotherapy patients with oral tongue carcinoma - Muhammad Furqan Zulqurnain; Haris Arif; Misbah Batool; Nouman Amjad; Robin Hill (Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine, 2026)
Oral cavity cancers are a debilitating form of head and neck cancer with high rates of mortality. Radiotherapy is one of the main forms of treatment but relies on minimizing doses that are delivered to organs at risk and considering any motion in the mouth. One solution is to use a block within the mouth which acts to reduce motion and decreases tissue heterogeneity. In this work, we developed a process for designing a customized tissue-equivalent 3D-printed tongue bite and evaluated its impact on the radiation treatment. Six patients with stage III or IV oral cancer were involved. Computed tomography (CT) images for each patient were acquired with currently used Styrofoam tongue bites within the mouth. The designs of 3D tongue bites were prepared using those CT images and then printed on an SLA printer using F80 resin which is a tissue-equivalent and biocompatible material. Secondary CT images were then acquired for each patient with the 3D tongue bites to have a dosimetric comparison. Volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) planning was carried out for individual patients on both CT images. Plan parameters, fractionation scheme and optimization priorities were all kept the same. The radiotherapy plans utilizing 3D tongue bites showed better PTV coverage and reduced D max ( p = 0.028). Doses to organs at risk (OARs) including brainstem, parotid glands and hard palate were also reduced ( p < 0.028) except for the spinal cord ( p > 0.05). The dose conformity and homogeneity were also improved ( p = 0.028 and p = 0.044 respectively). All patients reported that the 3D tongue bites were soft, conformal to the oral cavity, comfortable and did not cause any gag reflex. We conclude that the 3D tongue bite is a useful utility that improves the treatment of patients with oral cancer.

Flash flood susceptibility assessment using an integrated geomorphologic framework in data-scarce arid and semi-arid regions - Aftab Ullah; Rashid Farooq; Abdul Razzaq Ghumman; Muhammad Ejaz Tanveer; Muhammad Atiq Ur Rehman Tariq (Modeling Earth Systems and Environment, 2026)
Flash floods are among the most frequent natural hazards, posing serious environmental challenges, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions where steep topography and compact basin morphometry accelerate surface runoff. The ungauged hill torrents of southwestern Punjab, Pakistan, are particularly vulnerable to such events, experiencing recurrent, intense flash floods. This study develops an integrated GIS-based morphometric framework to assess flash flood susceptibility across 13 major hill torrents in DG Khan and Rajanpur, Punjab. Fifteen morphometric parameters were analyzed using three complementary approaches: Hazard Degree (HD), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The HD method captured the cumulative influence of all parameters. At the same time, PCA reduced redundancy and identified four dominant controlling factors: length of overland flow (Lo), form factor (Ff), circulatory ratio (Rc), and ruggedness number (Rn). The AHP further incorporated expert judgment, identifying drainage density (Dd) and ruggedness number as the most influential parameters, followed by basin relief (Bh) and drainage frequency (Fs). The convergence of results across the three independent methods significantly improves classification reliability compared to single-method analyses. Three hill torrents (Vidore, Mithawan, and Kaha) were consistently classified as highly susceptible, one as moderately susceptible, and four as low susceptibility. Hence, the proposed integrated HD-PCA-AHP model reduces methodological uncertainty and provides a transferable, data-efficient tool for assessing flash flood susceptibility and managing watersheds in data-scarce arid and semi-arid regions.

Soil-mediated Rhizobacteria Modulate SA-JA Transcriptional Antagonism in Tomato to Enhance Systemic Resistance Against a Specialist and a Generalist Herbivore - Muhammad Wajid Javed; Jam Nazeer Ahmad; Samina Tanwir; Ahmad Nawaz (Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 2026)
Salicylic (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) defense pathways antagonize each other to compromise host plant defense. Modulation of SA-JA transcriptional antagonism could enhance plant resistance against herbivores. Tomato, Solanum lycopersicum , was treated with phytohormonal inducers BTH (Benzothiadiazole-SA synthetic analogue) and MeJA (Methyl jasmonate-JA analogue) through foliar applications at 0, 0.5, and 1 mM, while PGP rhizobacteria ( Bacillus sp. Mb01 and Pseudomonas sp. Mb05) were applied through roots using a randomized block design having three replications. RNA transcripts of SA responsive genes ( PR1a and PAL ) and JA eliciting genes ( PIN2 and LOX ) were studied. Individual application of SA/JA synthetic analogues improved the levels of their respective marker genes but generated an antagonism by masking each other’s expression. Conversely, individual and combined treatment with rhizobacteria modulates SA/JA antagonism to enhance the expression of SA marker genes under MeJA treatment and of JA marker genes under BTH treatment. This improvement was tested against a specialist (whitefly, Bemisia tabaci ) and a generalist herbivore (tomato fruit borer, Helicoverpa armigera ) to assess enhanced pest resistance. Although SA and MeJA reduced the mean larval weight, larval survival, and adult emergence of H. armigera along with the mean nymph population of B. tabaci , the results were more pronounced when inducers were applied along with rhizobacteria. Instead of separate applications of BTH/MeJA, their combined application with PGPR is recommended to improve hostplant resistance against phytophagous pests. However, investigations on other SA and JA eliciting genes, PGPR species, and pests are required to implement these findings in a broader crop -pest spectrum.

Vågen; Gert Poulsen; Matti W. Leino; Kristiina Himanen; Hamid Khazaei (Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2026)
Faba bean ( Vicia faba L.) has great potential to contribute to sustainable agriculture and protein security globally but is known to be very sensitive to drought stress. Uncovering drought-adapted germplasm is critical for developing resilient cultivars and advancing our understanding of the mechanisms underlying stress adaptation. However, high-throughput plant phenotyping under stress conditions remain a major bottleneck in crop genetics and breeding programs. In this study, a multi-sensor indoor phenotyping platform was used to assess 44 faba bean genotypes under water deficit conditions. Standardized, monitored stress conditions were achieved by watering-by-weighing for drought onset, duration, and intensities allowing genotype-level comparisons. The genotypes showed a range of stress responses in growth and physiology, including traits such as plant height, biomass, water use efficiency (WUE), and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters. Digital biomass, derived from combined top- and side-view plant imaging, was strongly correlated with biological biomass at the experimental endpoint, validating its use as a non-destructive proxy for growth assessment in faba bean. Time-resolved generalized additive modelling further revealed genotype-specific differences in the timing and magnitude of water deficit response.

Irradiation of hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seeds with varying doses of gamma radiation leads to novel mutants - Nasr Ullah Khan; Bareera Tu Nisa; Ihteram Ullah; Douglas Law; Daniel K. Y. Tan; Wael Elmenofy; Mian Abdur Rehman Arif; Muhammad Yasin (Cereal Research Communications, 2026)
The plateauing wheat yield and its narrow genetic diversity warrants modifying wheat to meet the global food demand from the growing population. Gamma radiation-based mutagenesis is a widely used technique to develop or improve crops like wheat. However, optimizing radiation dose level and the response of wheat genetic background to radiation dose are the two key challenges. This study was conducted to assess the effect of different gamma radiations doses (0 Gy, 100 Gy, 150 Gy, 200 Gy and 250 Gy) on early growth, development and yield related attributes of six wheat genotypes (AZRC Dera, RK2022, landrace-49, landrace-52, black wheat and Kashmiri landrace), and to screen out mutants with promising growth, developmental and yield related attributes. Eighteen different traits (early growth, phenology and yield of the wild type and M 1 mutants) of the six wheat genotypes revealed differences ( p < 0.01) among genotypes (wheat) and treatment (gamma radiation doses), underscoring the genetic diversity and differential radio-sensitivity of the wheat genotypes. Additionally, all the eighteen traits among all genotypes were negatively ( p < 0.01) affected at high dose of 250 Gy, while optimum dose of 150 Gy positively impacted early growth and yield related traits. Kashmiri landrace exhibited improved superior yield related attributes such as early maturity, longer spike, greater spikelets per spike, greater number of seeds per spike and superior seed weight per spike, making it an ideal genetic material for mutation breeding programs. Hierarchical clustering revealed five distinct clusters of genotypes, Kashmir landrace and black wheat being the most distinct genotypes. Gamma radiation mutagenesis produced a vast array of radio morphs such as double spikes per tiller, high tillering, dwarfing and altered spike architecture. These mutants provide novel and valuable genetic resources for wheat breeding.
