The Sundarbans mangrove ecosystem, located in India and Bangladesh, is recognized as a global priority for biodiversity conservation and is an important provider of ecosystem services such as numerous goods and protection against storm surges. With global mean sea-level rise projected as up to 0.98 ...

The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna delta of Bangladesh is one of the most populous deltas in the world, supporting as many as 140 million people. The delta is threatened by diverse environmental stressors including salinity intrusion, with adverse consequences for livelihood and health. Shrimp farming is...

Ecosystems provide the basis for human civilization and natural capital for green economy and sustainable development. Ecosystem services may range from crops, fish, freshwater to those that are harder to see such as erosion regulation, carbon sequestration, and pest control. Land use changes have b...

The composition and assemblage of mangroves in the Bangladesh Sundarbans are changing systematically in response to several environmental factors. In order to understand the impact of the changing environmental conditions on the mangrove forest, species composition maps for the years 1985, 1995 and ...

The total blue carbon stock of the Bangladesh Sundarban mangroves was evaluated and the probable future status after a century was predicted based on the recent trend of changes in the last 30 years and implementing a hybrid model of Markov Chain and Cellular automata. At present 36.24 Tg C and 54.9...

Land cover and land use (LCLU) analysis is a central determinant of the current and future relationship between people and local ecosystem services. It provides the spatial basis for the integrated analysis of the study area. Historical change (1989–2010) is identified using classification technique...

Mangroves provide a range of ecosystem services ranging from mitigation of global climate change by carbon capture to the sustenance of local communities whose livelihood depends upon mangrove forest products. A hybrid model is used to analyse and project the spatial distribution of mangrove species...

A flexible meta-model, the Delta Dynamic Integrated Emulator Model (ΔDIEM), is developed to capture the socio-biophysical system of coastal Bangladesh as simply and efficiently as possible. Operating at the local scale, calculations occur efficiently using a variety of methods, including linear stat...

Sundarban, the single largest chunk of mangroves spread across the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) delta in India and Bangladesh, is ecologically significant for its diversity and ecosystem services, and experiencing different bio-geo-physical impacts due to the on-going climate change. This study s...

The Mangrove forests in many parts of the world are declining at an unprecedented pace, perhaps much faster than tropical inland forests. The largest block of tidal halophytic mangrove forests in the world, Sundarbans, is located on the East Coast of India and southwest Bangladesh and plays a key ro...

Deltas are globally considered as one of the most vital socio-ecological systems, however their geo-hydrological regimes are gradually destabilized by change in climatic patterns. Based on this scenario, the research delves into a comparative study of two contrasting deltas comprising of Nelson Rive...

Poor planning and insufficient maintenance of existing structures and systems in developing countries like Nepal and Bangladesh have left them inadequate, unreliable, and vulnerable. Natural hazards have further exacerbated the impacts on these fragile, complex, and interconnected systems, which are...

The Ganga Brahmaputra Meghna (GBM) delta, situated in India and Bangladesh, represents a densely populated and precarious area. Over 200 million residents face significant environmental threats, such as tropical cyclones, land subsidence, riverine flooding, coastal inundation, rising sea levels and ...

The GBM delta stands as one of the world's most densely populated areas, where human activities have profoundly reshaped the landscape amid the challenges posed by recurring climatic disasters. The region, prone to tropical cyclones and flooding, faces a future where these natural hazards are expect...
