The changes in global climate have profoundly affected Monsoon Asia, such as more frequent floods and intense droughts on agricultural and aquatic ecosystems that directly affect the livelihood of farmers, particularly the “subsistence” or “smallholder” farmers (e.g., Chotamonsak et al. 2011; ...
In neighborhood scale, the UHI effects are closed to the urban surface; surface temperature has an indirect but significant influence on air temperature and thermal comfort of urban environment (Bretz & Akbari, 1997). The absorption of daytime incoming solar energy is the primary source of UHI ph...
Water pollution, on the other hand, can contaminate drinking water sources and harm aquatic ecosystems, leading to a decline in water quality and biodiversity. Another environmental impact of urbanization is the depletion of natural resources. As cities grow and expand, they require more and more ...
However, hardly any studies have been conducted on the effects thereof in developing countries. Amphibian distribution and community assemblages are not well understood in aquatic and terrestrial habitats that are rapidly changing due to human modification. We conducted four surveys using three ...
Water pollution from runoff and sewage can also have negative effects on aquatic ecosystems, killing fish and other aquatic organisms. Despite these negative impacts, urban areas also have the potential to support a diverse range of species. Some plants and animals have adapted to urban environments...

Similarly, runoff from urban areas can carry pollutants into water bodies, affecting aquatic ecosystems and the species that rely on them. These environmental stressors pose significant threats to biodiversity, as they can disrupt ecological processes and lead to the decline of vulnerable species. ...
