“…Secondly vulnerability difference among districts is health services access indicated as significant indicator about livelihood vulnerability whereas Muzaffargarh and Rajanpur districts are higher vulnerable due to limited health services access as illustrated with consistent trends of literature (Alam et al, 2017). The reason is that Bait communities of Muzaffargarh and Rajanpur districts have limited access of treatment from certified doctors due far areas from main city whereas Rahim Yar Khan Bait community higher access to certified doctors treatment due to located neighbouring of main city so location advantage causes the access of health services as findings shows same trends regarding literature Hussain et al, (2019) and Elahi et al, (2021). Thirdly, Bait community of district Muzaffargarh in contrast to other districts more involved in chronic diseases and illness and have to leave their work in last two weeks the reason of inadequate advanced health treatment facilities.…”

“…Thirdly, in these three districts Bait communities almost 67% households have no sanitary toilets as causes to increase health vulnerability that is because of river erosion, floods, land scarcity, inadequate roads networks and standing water bodies as findings have same tendency with literature Sujakhu et al, (2019). Fourthly, these three districts have same crop diversity index as apparent from food components thus limited number of Bait households engaged homestead, gardening, seed storage and food management practice which causes to increase vulnerability among Bait communities' households as estimates same liking with literature and Elahi et al, (2021). Lastly, among districts majority of Bait households due to lack of money and inadequate building material higher vulnerable to flood hazards and monsoon rain as their houses become fully or partially damage which causes to poor shelter and overall lower living.…”

“…Floods, earthquakes, landslides, cyclones and droughts are some significant natural hazards owing to greater than before incidence of excessive climate change (Toe et al, 2018;Eckstein et al, 2019;Elahi et al, 2021). In current global scenario, floods are considered the most consecutive and more destructive rather than other hazards (Toe et al, 2018;Al Baky et al, 2020;Hoq et al, 2021) the reason of considerable involvement to social risk, economic losses and human fatalities as mainly exposed by human (Abbas et al, 2017;Huong et al, 2019;.…”

Pakistan is one of the most climate change and natural disasters affected country of the world where livelihood and lives of inhabitants are often affected due to these disasters. In the scenario of various disasters and risks, flood disasters are the most recurrent hazards that causes Bait households livelihood more vulnerable. Hence this research work has focused to investigate livelihood vulnerability of flood-prone Bait households in southern Punjab of Pakistan. This study used multistage sampling technique for collection the cross sectional data of 398 flood disasters vulnerable Bait household's respondents from three high risks flood-prone districts Muzaffargarh, Rajanpur and Rahim Yar Khan. Face to face interview procedure and well developed pre-tested questionnaire was used for data collection in this research work. This study applied vulnerability framework of LVI-IPCC and LVI in the direction of comparing the level of vulnerabilities in preferred three Bait district households. Empirical estimates of LVI major components and framework of IPCC vulnerability have indicated Bait households of Muzaffargarh more vulnerable owing to higher exposure and sensitivity and lower adaptive capacity rather than other districts. In contrast to other districts Muzaffargarh households have investigated more vulnerable to flood disasters more particularly in LVI sub-components such as health (0.460), water (0.360) and food (0.515) access.These research findings will helpful to policymakers to work out and put into practice effectual programs and strategies such as constructing more water reserves, developing overhead infrastructure, easy access of institutional loans and generating off-farm income sources. These local based feasible measures will helpful for native inhabitants to reducing frequency of floods in the direction of lessen vulnerability and increase resilience via recovering generally the livelihood of vulnerable Bait households in Punjab Pakistan and particularly the district Muzaffargarh.

“…The question of how to accurately identify the critical areas of ecological protection has become the primary problem to be solved. Recently, various studies have focused on agriculture (Elahi et al, 2018a;Elahi et al, 2019aElahi et al, 2021a;Elahi et al, 2021b) and livestock sectors (Elahi et al, 2017;Elahi et al, 2018b;Elahi et al, 2019b) for estimation of resources and institutional barriers in the land use. Moreover, some studies focused on environmental issues (Peng et al, 2020;Zhong et al, 2020); however, identification of the critical area of ecosystem service supply and demand at different scales has not been determined yet.…”

The purpose of this study was to establish a spatial multi-scale integrated assessment framework for critical areas of ecosystem service supply and demand, in order to provide theoretical support for regional ecological protection planning and refined management. Taking the typical hilly area of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in China as an example, based on the assessment matrix of land use and ecosystem services, we used the method of spatial heterogeneity assessment and self-organizing feature mapping (SOFM) to explore the identification and regionalization of critical areas of ecosystem services at regional and small scales. The results show that there was spatial heterogeneity and scale effects of ecosystem services under the two scales. The small-scale supply–demand pattern was greatly affected by microtopography and land use patterns, and the importance of ecosystem services was as follows: forest area in the upper part of the mountain > orchard and dry area in the middle and lower part of the mountain > valley farming area > flat town and farming area. The regional-scale supply–demand pattern was greatly affected by landscape structure, location conditions and social economy, and the importance of ecosystem services was as follows: south > west > north > central. The SOFM network quantitatively identified four types of ecological areas with clear dominant functions at regional and small scales. The balance between supply and demand in the studied ecosystem service areas was I < II < III < IV, in which IV was the critical area in terms of supply and I was the critical area in terms of demand. This assessment framework can improve the spatial accuracy and objectivity of the quantification and mapping of ecosystem services, and provide new ideas for multi-scale identification and expression of ecosystem services.

Planting green refers to the practice of planting a row crop into an actively growing cover crop (CC) and terminating it at or after row crop planting. Planting green could have more beneficial impacts on soil properties, erosion control, nutrient cycling, weed suppression, and other soil ecosystem services because it allows greater CC biomass accumulation than early‐terminated CC. The objectives of this 2‐year study were to evaluate the impact of planting green on soil properties (bulk density, wet aggregate stability, sorptivity, particulate organic matter, organic matter, nutrients, and others) and soybean (Glycine max L.) yield in an irrigated no‐till soybean system in south‐central Nebraska. Treatments were cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) CC terminated 2 weeks before planting (2WBP), CC terminated 2 weeks after planting (2WAP) soybean, and no CC. On average, CC produced 2.35 Mg ha−1 of biomass for 2WBP and 12.03 Mg ha−1 for 2WAP. Both 2WBP and 2WAP reduced N concentration by 48% (31.10 vs. 59.70 mg kg−1) but had no effect on other soil properties compared with no CC. Despite the abundant CC biomass production, terminating 2WAP had little to no effect on most soil properties in the short term (2 years). Wet aggregate stability increased as CC biomass production increased, while soil sorptivity (initial water infiltration) increased as wet aggregate stability increased. CC termination timing had inconsistent effects on soybean yield. In general, after 2 years, planting green had no effect on most soil properties or soybean yield, warranting long‐term studies on this topic.
