“…Temperature is a crucial factor that impacts aquatic environments' quality and ecological well-being. The temperature significantly influences various components of aquatic ecosystems, including the rate of chemical and biological reactions, the level of dissolved oxygen, the photosynthesis mechanism of aquatic plants, the metabolic rates of aquatic organisms, and their susceptibility to pollution, parasites, and disease [37]. Therefore, the temperature range observed in this study may have significant implications for aquatic life and the chemical processes in Wadi Hanifah.…”

The Wadi Hanifah, a crucial aquatic ecosystem, has unfavorable consequences from natural occurrences and human activities. Recognizing the critical need for sustainable water management, this study provides an in-depth evaluation of wadi water quality. A comprehensive assessment was conducted, analyzing physical properties (temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, turbidity, color, and odor), chemical constituents (nitrogen compounds, ion concentrations, heavy metals), and bacterial diversity. The study found significant temperature fluctuations, particularly in sun-exposed or stagnant water areas. The water exhibited slight alkalinity and variable electrical conductivity and turbidity, indicating differing pollution levels. High ammonia and heavy metal concentrations suggested organic and industrial contamination, respectively. In addition, the prevalent fecal-indicator bacteria pointed to possible sewage or agricultural runoff. The research highlights the complex interplay of natural and anthropogenic factors affecting Wadi Hanifah’s water quality. It emphasizes the need for location-specific environmental management strategies focusing on pollution control and conservation to safeguard the wadi’s ecological health. This study provides vital insights for effective water resource management in Wadi Hanifah, serving as a model for similar ecosystems.

“…Furthermore, climate change also contributes to a process known as ocean acidification, which poses a significant threat to marine organisms, particularly those with calcium carbonate shells such as corals and mollusks (Priya et al, 2023). The consequences of climate change within aquatic systems are far-reaching and include global warming, the accelerated melting of glaciers, rising sea levels, coastal erosion, increased evaporation rates in lakes, and changes in ocean dynamics (Eissa & Zaki, 2011).…”

Objective: The continuous rise in climate change has become a major cause of concern following the accelerated increase in temperature and its eventual consequences on the ecosystem. This study investigates the effects of global warming on Enzymes, with the aim of reviewing the relationship between climate change and enzymes. Method: The methodology adopted for this research comprises of expository discussion. We explore the literature and carried out thorough theoretical discussion on the various impacts of climate change on enzyme-producing organisms, soil ecosystem, aquatic ecosystem as well as the role of enzymes in mitigating the consequences of climate change. Results and Discussion: We find that temperature plays a crucial role in the activity of enzymes, which in turn has a significant impact on the entire organism. Any changes in temperature can disrupt the relationships between enzyme-producing microorganisms and the surrounding microbial communities. This disruption can have consequences for the overall ecosystem of microorganisms and affect the dynamics of enzyme production. When the temperature increases by 10°C, the rate of enzyme-controlled reactions doubles. Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed. We show that temperature plays a crucial role in the activity of enzymes which in turn has a significant impact on the entire organism. The implication of our finding is that the relationship between global warming, climate change, and enzymes is complex and multifaceted. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the interconnectedness of environmental factors with biological processes. The relevance and value of the paper are evidenced by the findings that Enzymes function within specific temperature ranges, and any shifts in temperature can affect their efficiency and their activity.

“…This concept paper provides a foundational overview of the intertwined issues of climate change and zoonotic diseases, emphasizing their significance and implications for public health in the United States (Moore et al, 2020). Climate change, driven by human activities, has led to unprecedented shifts in weather patterns, rising temperatures, and alterations in ecosystems (Muruganandam et al, 2023). These environmental changes have profound implications for the dynamics of zoonotic diseases, which are infectious diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans (Nicoletti, 2020).…”

The executive summary will provide a concise overview of the conceptual framework aimed at understanding the relationship between climate change and zoonotic diseases in the USA. It will highlight the significance of addressing this issue, the objectives of the framework, expected outcomes, and the proposed methodology for research and implementation. It encapsulates the essence of the proposed framework, highlighting its significance, objectives, methodology, and expected outcomes. Climate change poses a significant threat to public health, exacerbating the emergence and transmission of zoonotic diseases across the USA. This executive summary underscores the critical need for a proactive approach to understanding and managing the complex interplay between climate change and zoonotic diseases to safeguard the health of communities. The framework aims to address this pressing issue by elucidating the mechanisms through which climate change influences the dynamics of zoonotic diseases. By integrating multidisciplinary research, predictive modeling, and public health strategies, the framework seeks to enhance the nation's capacity to predict, prevent, and mitigate the health risks associated with climate change-driven zoonotic diseases. Key objectives of the framework include developing predictive models to identify high-risk areas and vulnerable populations, elucidating the pathways of disease transmission, and proposing evidence-based interventions to mitigate health risks. By fostering collaboration among researchers, policymakers, and public health practitioners, the framework aims to translate research findings into actionable strategies and policies that protect public health and promote resilience in the face of climate change. Expected outcomes of the framework include improved understanding of the complex relationship between climate change and zoonotic diseases, enhanced surveillance and early warning systems, and informed decision-making to guide public health interventions. Ultimately, the framework seeks to empower communities and decision-makers with the knowledge and tools needed to adapt to changing environmental conditions and mitigate the health impacts of zoonotic diseases in the USA.
