Future-proofing raised bed irrigation for rabi maize using sensor-based soil moisture monitoring, AquaCrop modeling, and CMIP6-based climate projections in Bangladesh

Rabi maize production in north-central Bangladesh depends entirely on groundwater irrigation during a climatically water-stressed period, and progressive aquifer depletion with CMIP6-projected warming poses an escalating threat to its long-term viability. This study presents the...

Abstract Background Anemia is a significant public health concern among female university students in Bangladesh, and the situation may be worse in coastal areas due to socioeconomic and environmental factors. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and associated...

How participatory climate information services assist farmers to uptake rice disease forecasts and manage diseases in advance: Evidence from Coastal Bangladesh

Rice yield reduction due to climate change-induced diseases is increasing which is of great concern for coastal farmers of Bangladesh. The development of participatory climate information services (CIS) based on farmers' needs could facilitate farmers to reduce these diseases by...

Assessment of trace element distribution, bioaccumulation, and health risks in silver pomfret from major fishing grounds of the Bay of Bengal

Trace elements, both essential and toxic, are widespread in marine ecosystems and can pose health risks through bioaccumulation in seafood. This study assessed trace element concentrations in silver pomfret ( Pampus argenteus ) from three fishing zones in the Bay of Bengal—south...
