The study focuses on the carbon pool analysis and various phytosociological parameters from biodiversity perspective. More emphasis has been given on the potential of urban and hill vegetation as a carbon sink. The phytosociological data was used to determine homogeneity/heterogeneity of the vegetation stand. The soil organic carbon was estimated as it is a significant carbon sink.It also includes carbon mitigation opportunities in land use sectors and will contribute in Carbon offset projects and mitigating Urban Island effects.The information will help policy decision makers to undertake...

The expansion of internet availability through satellite constellations has extensive implications. However, this advancement also brings notable cybersecurity risks, such as cyberattacks, espionage, and data breaches. Additionally, the presence of space debris could potentially lead to major cyber accidents and an escalation of cyber warfare. Managing space debris will be a critical global challenge, as it poses threats to future missions and terrestrial communications. If satellites or debris were to explode, they could cause significant damage and release harmful pollutants into the...
