  Abstract The demand for Critical Minerals (CMs) is soaring because of their extensive use in renewable energy generation, energy storage, energy transmission, scientific instrumentation, and a wide range of communication, military, and transport technologies. However, the supply of CMs faces several critical challenges like • a few countries have a monopoly in mining and processing of particular CMs • variable concentration and deposit grades in different geographical areas • inadequate assessment of resources • inefficient mining, extraction, and processing technologies, • little to no recycling • limited workforce and • severe environmental and human health impacts associated with CM mining, processing, and production. For environmentally sustainable development of the CM industry, countries need to make significant investments in advanced competitive research, development of efficient environment-friendly mining, extraction, and processing te...

  Graphical Abstract In the past decades evaporation of water has been generally decreasing in most parts of the world with increasing air temperature, which is called the ‘evaporation paradox’. At Tharandt, Germany from 2004 to 2013 on annual basis the so-called ‘evaporation paradox’ had not existed because air temperature had not shown increasing trend. However, when we exclude Class A pan evaporation (E p ) in to consideration, indeed, it had existed on the summer half-year (Figure 1). Highlights a) Consideration of the warmer times of a year in a cold climate site. b) Use of methods very suitable for a very humid climate. c) Consideration of both measured and estimated evaporation schemes.      Read More about this Article: https://juniperpublishers.com/ijesnr/IJESNR.MS.ID.556142.php Read More Juniper Publishers Google Scholar : https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=4WXzQFMAAAAJ&citation_for...

  Abstract Soil salinity is one of the most important abiotic factors that adversely effect on plant growth. In addition, nursery and greenhouse industry is under pressure to recover and recycle fertilizer solution and wastes. Most of these contains significantly higher salt concentrations that could cause harm to susceptible species of plants. Rose plants are the most attractive plants in all our world. Although, the roses face serious salt stress. Globally, soil salinity is naturally occurring or by the usage of poor quality of water and the other activities of humans or use of excessive amount of fertilizer applications. Although, the level of salts tolerance among various cultivars and species can be different in roses. In this review paper, we will discuss the responses of roses to salinity and ways to combat salinity in roses production.
