Performance evaluation of Standardized Copula‐based Drought Index with Reconnaissance Drought Index and Standardized Precipitation Temperature Index using severity–duration frequency curves over Balochistan, Pakistan - Hamd Ullah; Muhammad Akbar; Firdos Khan; Muhammad Amjad (International Journal of Climatology, 2023)
Drought and aridity are good measures to study climate change that are measured using several indices. In this study, the performance of Standardized Copula‐based Drought Index (SCDI) is compared with Standardized Precipitation Temperature Index (SPTI) and Reconnaissance Drought Index (RDI) for measuring drought in Balochistan province of Pakistan. These standardized drought indices combine the outcomes of De‐Martone Aridity Index (DAI) and UNEP Aridity Index (UAI). SCDI is calculated using probability distributions and copula models that combine the outcomes of UAI and DAI utilizing data of precipitation, potential evapotranspiration (PE), and temperature. Climate data from nine including arid and humid metrological stations are used to study drought conditions in Balochistan province. SCDI outcomes are graphically and numerically compared with SPTI and RDI. Selected drought indices are compared based on frequency of drought and wet events occurred in moderate, severe, and extreme drought categories, which indicate that SCDI has maximum number of events in these categories. It gives better results due to the utilization of more climate data as compared to RDI and SPTI. Severity–duration frequency curves are used to find future projections which shows that drought severity and drought duration have increasing trend with the passage of time. The indices have more differences in results of arid stations. The results indicate that there are no significant chances of drought at lower time scales, but the chances increase with the increase in time scale. The SCDI may also be more useful for agricultural and hydrological droughts due to temperature and PE variables. This study's results will be helpful for climate planning in Balochistan province.

Local ecological knowledge can support improved management of small-scale fisheries in the Bay of Bengal - Hadayet Ullah; Md Abdul Wahab; Md Jalilur Rahman; Shaheed Nasrullah Al Mamun; Uttam Kumar; Muhammad Arifur Rahman; Sazeed Mehrab Souhardya; Ilias Ebne Kabir; Monayem Hussain; Md.

Fishers’ local ecological knowledge (LEK) can be used to reconstruct or supplement long-term trends in heavily exploited population or poorly assessed species with low biomass. We used historical memories of small-scale fishers to understand their perceptions of changes in catch trends in marine fisheries over the last 20 years. The study aimed at evaluating how fishers could provide consistent and reliable data on major fish species/groups comparable with official catch data and to explore the potential of increasing their participation in fishery management. We conducted focus group discussions (FGDs) and key informant interviews with experienced fishers and stakeholders, using a structured template related to the catch and effort data. Using FGD data, we systematically compared changes in fish catch rates and effort over time and space. Data were collected on major groups of species that had reasonable landing over time. Overall, the analysis revealed changes in catch rate, monthly landings per landing center, factors that likely influence the catch trends, and the spatial expansion of fisheries. Our study provides insight into species’ abundance over time. Fishers’ LEK shows declining catch rates for major species and groups, but monthly harvests at landing centers have increased over two decades because of increased fishing efforts. Small-scale fishers are catching more fish from deeper waters over time, indicating a geographical expansion and/or development of fisheries beyond traditionally exploited areas. Such expansions of nearshore fisheries may result from the overfishing of nearby areas. On the contrary, this could be viewed as a positive indication of the potential for growth and development of small-scale fisheries in the region, especially in the context of the blue economy. The agreement between official statistics and fishers’ data on species catch trends over time suggests that fishers have a good understanding of their fishing system. This indicates that fishers’ knowledge could be invaluable, especially in data-poor areas. LEK integration into policy and management is thus expected to facilitate the efficient management of small-scale fisheries.

Purpose of Review Heavy and toxic metals are becoming more prevalent in the water sources of the globe, which has detrimental repercussions for both human health and the health of ecosystems. The summary of recent findings on treatment possibilities of toxic metal species by nanomaterials should facilitate the development of more advanced techniques of their removal. Recent Findings The high concentrations of chromium, mercury, and arsenic identified in wastewater cause a hazard to human health. There is a wide variety of nanoadsorbents and nanophotocatalysts used for heavy/hazardous metal removal. Recent research has resulted in the production of advanced nanostructures that exhibit extraordinary heavy/hazardous metal adsorption effectiveness and photocatalytic diminution of metal ions. These nanostructures have physically and chemically tunable features. Summary In this review article, the use of carbon-based nanomaterials, polymer-based nanomaterials, and semiconductor-based nanomaterials are extensively discussed to remove mercury, chromium, and arsenic ions from wastewater by the adsorption process. Advanced nanomaterials involved in photocatalytic reduction are also comprehensively discussed.

In a controlled environment experiment, we studied how physiological changes in leaves during the vegetative phase regulate final grain yield of wheat crops in salt-affected soils. We also hypothesized that amendments such as biochar (SB) and selenium-chitosan nanoparticles (Se-NPs) can protect wheat plants from salt injury. 20-day-old wheat plants were submitted to 4-week salt stress (3000 ppm NaCl). Soybean straw biochar was mixed with soil media at planting and Se-NPs (30 ppm) was sprayed 5 days after the first salt stress treatment. At the end of 4-week Se-NPs treatment, one set of plants was harvested for studying leaf level physiological changes. The salt-stressed plants accumulated significantly high leaf Na + (~ 13-fold increase), which trigged oxidative and osmotic damage. This salt-induced cellular injury was evident from significantly high levels of lipid membrane peroxidation and inhibited photosynthesis. Our study suggested that leaf physiological impairment in wheat plants was translated into poor biomass production and grain yield loss at crop maturity. Compared with control, salt-stressed plants produced 43% lesser biomass during vegetative phase, and 62% lesser grain yield at maturity. Amendments such as SB and Se-NPs protected the plants from salt-induced cellular injury by restricting Na + transport toward leaf tissues. Plants treated with NaCl + SB + Se-NPs accumulated 50% less Na + concentrations in leaves compared with NaCl-treated plants. Our study also suggested that SB and Se-NPs can restore ionic homeostasis and carbon assimilation in salt-stressed wheat by upregulating key transporter genes in leaves.

Objective During the last few years, underwater object detection and marine resource utilization have gained significant attention from researchers and become active research hotspots in underwater image processing and analysis domains. This research study presents a data fusion-based method for underwater salient object detection and ocean environment monitoring by utilizing a deep model. Methodology A hybrid model consists of an upgraded AlexNet with Inception v-4 for salient object detection and ocean environment monitoring. For the categorization of spatial data, AlexNet is utilized, whereas Inception V-4 is employed for temporal data (environment monitoring). Moreover, we used preprocessing techniques before the classification task for underwater image enhancement, segmentation, noise and fog removal, restoration, and color constancy. Conclusion The Real-Time Underwater Image Enhancement (RUIE) dataset and the Marine Underwater Environment Database (MUED) dataset are used in this research project’s data fusion and experimental activities, respectively. Root mean square error (RMSE), computing usage, and accuracy are used to construct the model’s simulation results. The suggested model’s relevance form optimization and conspicuous item prediction issues in the seas is illustrated by the greatest accuracy of 95.7% and low RMSE value of 49 when compared to other baseline models.

Wavelet coherence of monsoon and large‐scale climate variabilities with precipitation in Pakistan - Azfar Hussain; Jianhua Cao; Shaukat Ali; Waheed Ullah; Sher Muhammad; Ishtiaq Hussain; Haider Abbas; Kalpana Hamal; Shankar Sharma; Mobeen Akhtar; Xiuqin Wu; Jinxing Zhou (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Monsoon and its teleconnection with earth system internal processes affect the spatiotemporal distribution of precipitation and water resources . In this paper, the wavelet coherence analysis has been utilized, a time and frequency domain methodology for comparing the spectral features of two independent time series superior to linear approaches. This technique is used to capture the significant modes of variabilities in the Indian Summer Monsoon Index (ISMI) and large‐scale climate indices (CIs) between ocean–atmosphere oscillations, like Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), and Arctic Oscillation (AO) over Pakistan. Precipitation time series during 1960–2016 revealed significant interannual coherences with ISMI, whereas the remaining CIs (IOD, ENSO, PDO, SOI, NAO, AMO, and AO) revealed interannual, decadal and interdecadal coherences. However, AO revealed strongest coherences in R‐II, III, and VI at interdecadal scales among all CIs. Overall, the interannual cycles on ISMI are 2.8 years, IOD 1–5.3 years, PDO 0–5.3 years, SOI 1–5.3 years, NAO 0–5 years, AO 0–5 years, and AMO 0–8.3 years. Whereas, the remaining CIs shared interdecadal coherences over particular regions. The ISMI displayed coherences (except in the UIB) with the large‐scale CIs over various homogenous regions on an interannual scale. The dominant influence of ISMI is observed in R‐II and III; the significant coherences in R‐II ranged from ~8 to 32 months (~0.8–2.8 years). The IOD and NAO have major coherences than the remaining large‐scale CIs ranging from ~16 to 64 months (1.3–5.3 years). The AO has the most significant coherences observed in R‐II, III, and VI on the decadal/interdecadal scale from 128 months and above (almost 10–15 years). On a 1.0‐year timescale, all homogenous regions demonstrated strong intermittent coherence with ISMI, IOD, ENSO, PDO, SOI, NAO, AMO, and AO. These findings have substantial implications for decision‐makers and scientists in Pakistan looking to enhance water resource planning and operations in the face of future climate uncertainties.

Observed trends and variability of seasonal and annual precipitation in Pakistan during 1960–2016 - Azfar Hussain; Jianhua Cao; Shaukat Ali; Sher Muhammad; Waheed Ullah; Ishtiaq Hussain; Mobeen Akhtar; Xiuqin Wu; Yinghui Guan; Jinxing Zhou (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Long‐term precipitation monitoring plays a vital role in water resource management and disaster prevention and mitigation. This study assesses spatial and temporal trends in seasonal and annual precipitation in Pakistan between 1960 and 2016 at an interannual scale. The Mann–Kendall (MK) test, Sen's slope (SS) estimator, and Sequential Mann–Kendall (SQMK) test were employed to assess trends. Cluster analysis and L ‐moment approach were used to identify the homogenous precipitation regions. In general, increasing precipitation trends between 1960 and 2016 were evident. Results indicated increasing precipitation in winter, autumn, summer and annual scale at the rates of 0.20, 2.18, 5.16, and 10.89 mm·decade −1 , respectively. In spring, the precipitation trend shows a decreasing trend at −0.67 mm·decade −1 . Moreover, a significant decreasing trend occurred in winter in southern Pakistan. The overall increasing trends were more noticeable between 1960 and 1988, compared to the declining precipitation during 1989–2016. SQMK analysis indicates a clear downward trend in most regions during 1989–2016, except in autumn. Annual precipitation has increased topographically except at 500 m and 1,500 m during 1960–2016 with a significant increase of 1.37 mm·decade −1 at elevation

The alleviation of drought-induced damage to growth and physio-biochemical parameters of Brassica napus L. genotypes using an integrated approach of biochar amendment and PGPR application - Gul Lalay; Abd Ullah; Nadeem Iqbal; Ali Raza; Muhammad Ahsan Asghar; Sami Ullah (Environment, Development and Sustainability, 2022)
Drought is a major abiotic stress, affecting the metabolism, growth, and productivity of plants worldwide. Therefore, this study aimed/hypothesized to investigate the ameliorative effects of biochar and rhizobacteria in drought-damaged Brassica napus L. genotypes. The plants were divided into two groups based on the drought stress employment (15 days and 30 days). Both groups were then treated with PGPR, biochar, and their co-application, and the samples were taken from shoots and roots of both genotypes. Our results revealed that the drought resulted in a substantial decline in total flavonoids, phenolics, proteins, peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR) as well as nutrient uptake in shoots and roots of both the studied genotypes. Contrarily, sugar and glycine betaine (GB) contents increased in both shoots and roots under drought stress conditions. However, the plants with co-application of biochar and PGPR showed better improvement of nutrient uptake, leaf relative water content (RWC), and growth parameters compared to drought-stressed, control, and the plants with sole biochar and PGPR application. In addition, the co-application of PGPR and biochar produced higher levels of sugar, proteins, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and enzymatic activities (POD, SOD, GR, and dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR)) than those that were not treated with biochar and PGPR or treated solely. Relative to Westar genotype, the Punjab sarson showed higher drought tolerance. In conclusion, we suggest that the co-application of biochar and PGPR can be an effective strategy for overcoming the drought-induced damage in plants. Graphical Abstract

Evaluating observed and future spatiotemporal changes in precipitation and temperature across China based on CMIP6‐GCMs - Kaidong Lu; Muhammad Arshad; Xieyao Ma; Irfan Ullah; Jianjian Wang; Wei Shao (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
The present study aimed to evaluate the performance of 46 global climate models (GCMs) from the newly released Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) in the historical simulation of precipitation and temperature, and select the best performing GCMs for future projection across China and three major river basins. This study uses four shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs), namely SSP1‐2.6, SSP2‐4.5, SSP3‐7.0, and SSP5‐8.5 relative to the base period (1961–2014). Initially, 46 models were evaluated across China employing an improved Taylor diagram method. Based on relatively better performance, 10 best‐performing models (TBMs) were selected out of 46 models for further evaluation. The results show that historical temperature was well reproduced by CMIP6 over the study regions with a high correlation coefficient (CC). All the TBMs produced good CC ranging from 0.8 to 0.99 presenting the precipitation and temperature distribution well. Meanwhile, EC‐Earth3 and EC‐Earth3‐Veg well simulated the precipitation and temperature amounts as well as trends over selected three river basins. The multimodel ensemble mean (MME) underestimates temperature over China and selected three basins with bias values of −0.53, −0.21, −0.91, and −0.68°C, respectively. In contrast, MEM overestimated the simulated precipitation with the amount of 27.7, 32.4, 21.0, and 104.6% across China and selected three basins. During future projections, increased precipitation and temperature trends are projected over three selected river basins as well as all across China. The increasing trend of future precipitation over China under SSP1‐2.6, SSP2‐4.5, SSP3‐7.0, and SSP5‐8.5 scenarios are 0.65, 0.86, 1.29, and 0.76 mm·a −1 , whereas, the increasing trend of temperature is 0.008, 0.028, 0.050, and 0.065°C·a −1 , respectively. Comparatively, the greater the radiation force, the higher projected increases in precipitation and temperature across China and three major river basins were observed. The extent of CMIP6 models over the target region and its river basins calls for further deep assessment of the attribution and possible implementation of robust methods that can accurately simulate the observed patterns for future practice.

This study aimed to evaluate the performance of global climate models (GCMs) from the family of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) in the historical simulation of precipitation and select the best performing GCMs for future projection of precipitation in Pakistan under multiple shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs). The spatiotemporal performance of GCMs was evaluated against the Climate Research Unit (CRU) data in simulating annual precipitation during 1951–2014, using the Taylor diagram and interannual variability skill (IVS). Moreover, the modified Mann–Kendall (mMK) and Sen's slope estimator (SSE) tests were employed to estimate significant trends in future precipitation for the period 2015–2100. Based on the comprehensive ranking index (CRI), the HadGEM3‐GC31‐MM model has the highest skill in simulating precipitation distributions followed by EC‐Earth3‐Veg‐LR, CNRM‐ESM2‐1, MPI‐ESM1‐2‐HR, CNRM‐CM6‐1, MRI‐ESM2‐0, CNRM‐CM6‐1‐HR, EC‐Earth3‐Veg, MCM‐UA‐1‐0, INM‐CM5‐0, KACE‐1‐0‐G, CAMS‐CSM1‐0, and HadGEM3‐GC31‐LL models. Furthermore, the projections of the best models ensemble mean (BMEM) showed that the study region will experience a substantial increase in precipitation under SSP3‐7.0 and SSP5‐8.5 but an indolent rise under SSP1‐2.6 and SSP2‐4.5 scenarios. The summer and annual precipitations exhibit a statistically significant increasing trend relative to the winter season under most scenarios. Moreover, the magnitude of monotonic trends in seasonal and annual precipitation progresses from low forcing scenario (SSP1‐2.6) to high forcing scenario (SSP5‐8.5). The findings of the study could provide a benchmark in selecting appropriate GCMs for future projection over a data scare region, like Pakistan. Moreover, the projected trends of future precipitation are crucial in devising adaption and mitigation actions towards sustainable planning of water resource management, food security, and disaster risk management.

Long‐term drought monitoring and its assessment are of great importance for meteorological disaster risk management. The recurrent spells of heat waves and droughts have severely affected the environmental conditions worldwide, including Pakistan. The present work sought to investigate the spatiotemporal changes in drought characteristics over Pakistan during Rabi and Kharif cropping seasons. The role of large‐scale circulation and interannual mode of climate variability is further explored to identify the physical mechanisms associated with droughts in the region. Monthly precipitation and temperature data (1983–2019) from 53 meteorological stations were used to study drought characteristics, using the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI). The nonparametric Mann–Kendall, Sen's Slope, and Sequential Mann–Kendall tests were applied on the drought index to determine the statistical significance and magnitude of the historical trend. The state‐of‐the‐art Bayesian Dynamic Linear model was further used to analyse large‐scale climate drivers of droughts, revealed an increase in drought severity, mostly over arid to semiarid regions for both cropping seasons. While temperature played a significant role in defining droughts over dry and hot seasons, rainfall is influential over the western disturbances influenced region. The analysis of atmospheric circulation patterns revealed that large‐scale changes in wind speed, air temperature, relative humidity, and geopotential height anomalies are the likely drivers of droughts in the region. We found that Niño4, sea surface temperature, and multivariate El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO4.0) Index are the most influential factors for seasonal droughts across Pakistan. Overall, the findings provide a better understanding of drought‐prone areas in the region, and this information is of potential use for mitigating and managing drought risks.
