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...

Laccase has been widely reported for the detoxification of industrial effluents, yet large‐scale applications require cost‐effective production. This study utilised an innovative approach by employing biomass from the halophyte Desmostachya bipinnata, which has not been previously reported for microbial enzyme production. A newly discovered bacterial species, Anoxybacteroides rupiense, was used for laccase production. Initiall...
