A framework for integrating ecosystem services indicators into vulnerability and risk assessments of deltaic social-ecological systems

Yuting Peng et al.

Summary: Due to population growth, urbanization, and climate change, coastal river deltas are facing increased exposure, vulnerability, and risks from natural hazards. Current assessment frameworks often overlook the social-ecological perspective, resulting in incomplete assessments. This study proposes an improved indicator-based framework for coastal deltas, incorporating ecosystem services as a means to characterize the interdependencies between society and the environment, and enabling targeted management and policy development to reduce risks.

Aligning the Global Delta Risk Index with SDG and SFDRR global frameworks to assess risk to socio-ecological systems in river deltas

Emilie Cremin et al.

Summary: River deltas globally are highly exposed and vulnerable to natural hazards and are often overexploited. The Global Delta Risk Index (GDRI) was developed to assess multi-hazard risk in river deltas and support decision-making in risk reduction interventions in delta regions. This research aims at aligning the GDRI indicators with the SDGs and the SFDRR to improve sustainability and resilience of Asian mega-deltas.

Rajarshi Dasgupta et al.

Summary: This paper presents an empirical study on participatory mapping and spatial characterization of non-material landscape values in the Indian Sundarban delta. The research identifies 65 locations with different values and explores the influence of demographic factors on the perception of these intangible values. The study also reveals strong positive pairwise associations between certain non-material landscape values.

Polluted waters of the reclaimed islands of Indian Sundarban promote more greenhouse gas emissions from mangrove ecosystem

Nilanjan Das et al.

Summary: The study of gas emissions in the mangrove ecosystem reveals seasonal variations in methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide fluxes, with pneumatophore numbers increasing and making transpiration easier. The most critical environmental factor is the soil nitrate content, which will provide valuable information to environmental managers.

Challenges, opportunities, and climate change adaptation strategies of mangrove-agriculture ecosystem in the Sundarbans, India: a review

S. R. Padhy et al.

Summary: The mangrove-agriculture system in the Sundarbans region is a unique ecosystem facing challenges like freshwater scarcity, high salinity, and climate change, while presenting opportunities such as cheap labor and mangrove conservation. Both mangrove and rice ecosystems act as carbon sinks and provide ecosystem services, but climate change adaptation strategies are needed to protect them.

Application of the METRIC model for mapping evapotranspiration over the Sundarban Biosphere Reserve, India

Ismail Mondal et al.

Summary: This study utilizes the METRIC model to estimate the spatial distribution of daily evapotranspiration in the Sundarban Biosphere Reserve in India. The results show that forests and water bodies have the highest evapotranspiration rates, while croplands have the lowest rates. The use of satellite imagery validates the accuracy of the METRIC model and highlights its significance in water conservation and evapotranspiration estimation using satellite technology.

Island Based Assemblage Pattern and Foraging Profile of Insect Flower Visitors on Aegialitis rotundifolia -a Near Threatened Mangrove Plant from Indian Sundarban

Udipta Chakraborti et al.

Summary: Understanding the association pattern and foraging behavior of flower visitors among different islands is crucial for determining their role in plant interactions. Results showed a generalized assemblage pattern of flower visitors across islands, with higher species richness and diversity on islands farther from the sea. Different visitors exhibited varied foraging profiles, with honey bees and butterflies being highlighted as excellent foragers. Further research on flower visitor behavior and conservation efforts are recommended.

Analyzing climate variability and its effects in Sundarban Biosphere Reserve, India: reaffirmation from local communities

Mehebub Sahana et al.

Summary: The study assessed the climate variability in the Indian Sundarban Biosphere Reserve (SBR) using centurial meteorological data and multivariate principal component analysis. It revealed wide spatiotemporal variation in temperature and rainfall, with coastal areas more vulnerable to factors such as sea level rise, flood, and high storm surge height. Effective adaptation and mitigation strategies are called for to address the consequences of climate variability in SBR.

Shoreline changes and its impact on the mangrove ecosystems of some islands of Indian Sundarbans, North-East coast of India

Sandeep Thakur et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of shoreline oscillations on mangrove forests surrounding three estuarine Islands in the Sundarban delta. Analysis of multi-temporal Landsat images spanning 42 years reveals a dynamic shoreline resulting in erosion of mangrove forests. The study suggests that mangrove forests are under severe stress due to shoreline erosion and sea level rise, rather than climatic alterations.

Geo-ecological impact assessment of severe cyclonic storm Amphan on Sundarban mangrove forest using geospatial technology

Manoranjan Mishra et al.

Summary: The study reports the damage caused by the category five tropical cyclonic storm Amphan to the Sundarban mangrove ecosystem in India and Bangladesh, specifically focusing on vegetation impact and shoreline erosion. The results show significant degradation and fragmentation of mangrove vegetation, with dense tree cover decreasing and less dense cover increasing. Erosion along the shoreline was pronounced, leading to inundation of agricultural lands and aquaculture ponds.

Summary: This study analyzed 168 cyclone strike locations in the Northern Bay of Bengal region between 1877 and 2016, revealing a gradual reduction in storm frequencies since peaking in the period of 1961-1980. The research demonstrated pronounced spatial and temporal variations in cyclone impacts, providing valuable information for relief prioritization and community adaptation to cyclones in the region.

Kousik Das et al.

Summary: The coastal aquifers of Sundarbans are highly vulnerable due to changing climatic conditions, intensification of extreme climate events, and uncontrolled groundwater abstraction. Research showed a rising trend in Cl- concentration and significant exchange of Sr2+ between different depths, possibly influenced by depth. ERT data indicated lateral and vertical transportation of solutes under variable hydraulic head conditions.

Threat of arsenic contamination, salinity and water pollution in agricultural practices of Sundarban Delta, India, and mitigation strategies

Anirban Nath et al.

Summary: This study critically evaluates the agricultural practices in the Indian Sundarban deltaic region, highlighting the interconnected problems of arsenic biomagnification, salinization, and agrochemical pollution affecting the health, livelihood, and food security of the rural population. The depletion of freshwater resources lies at the heart of these issues, exacerbating agricultural challenges. Mitigation strategies proposed include smart use of local resources, adoption of adaptable cultivars, and implementation of sustainable agronomic practices like organic farming to address the long-term sustainability of the delta region.
