    The latest Conference of the Parties (COP) demonstrated that development and 'Climate change' are inextricably intertwined, making them the primary fields to be tackled in addressing rational global tendencies. Since the beginning of urbanization, asphalt, and concrete have supplanted natural vegetation, which has led to an increase in energy demand. This increase has accelerated the urban heat island (UHI) effect and paved the way for a rise in building energy consumption. In addition to that, the increased impervious surfaces capture more solar radiation, increasing Land Surface Temperature (LST). Increasing Greenspace, where vegetation changes have been monitored with the help of the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) since the early 1980s, has been suggested as a strategy for urban areas in response to increasing urbanization and forecasts of more frequent heatwaves under a climate change scenario. The present study focuses on using remotely sensed data of MODIS to evaluate the relationship between, Urban Greenspace and UHI for the city of Gandhinagar, Gujarat. For the detection of relation as well as change, Land Surface Temperature (oC) and Precipitation rate (mm/day) were incorporated. This study compared UHI and NDVI for an annual average for the years 2003 and 2018. In the entire study period, a considerable change in land use was observed with a significant increase in build-up area. Correlation among the variables depicted a significant negative relation between NDVI (r = -0.76) and LST and Precipitation (r= -0.38). The linear trend showed a significant drop in precipitation in recent years. For a better understanding of continuous time series data, cross-wavelet transformation was used. The result of the wavelet transformation revealed a substantial coherence period and phase relationship between the variables. The finding of the study states that rapid urbanization is the chief contributor to the changes in the Land Surface Temperature.

    Lead toxicity in plants: mechanistic insights into toxicity, physiological responses of plants and mitigation strategies
    (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2024) Gupta, Minoti; Dwivedi, Vinay; Kumar, Swatantar; Patel, Ashish; Niazi, Parwiz; Yadav, Virendra Kumar
    Soil toxicity is a major environmental issue that leads to numerous harmful effects on plants and human beings. Every year a huge amount of Pb is dumped into the environment either from natural sources or anthropogenically. Being a heavy metal it is highly toxic and non-biodegradable but remains in the environment for a long time. It is considered a neurotoxic and exerts harmful effects on living beings. In the present review article, investigators have emphasized the side effects of Pb on the plants. Further, the authors have focused on the various sources of Pb in the environment. Investigators have emphasized the various responses including molecular, biochemical, and morphological of plants to the toxic levels of Pb. Further emphasis was given to the effect of elevated levels of Pb on the microbial population in the rhizospheres. Further, emphasized the various remediation strategies for the Pb removal from the soil and water sources.
