ANTHROPOCENE IMPRINTS ON THE PERSIAN GULF (ARABIAN GULF): A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF POLLUTION AND CONSERVATION CHALLENGES K.A. AL-MUTAIRI Applied Ecology and Environmental Research, 2025 The Persian Gulf, a shallow semi-enclosed sea bordered by eight nations, faces intensifying ecological degradation under the pressures of the Anthropocene.This review systematically examined pollution types, impacts, and conservation challenges in Persian Gulf from the Scopus database.A bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer identified six major thematic clusters, highlighting evolving research priorities.Chronic oil pollution from extraction, refining, and shipping activities remains a dominant threat, with cumulative impacts on microbial communities, benthic macrofauna, and coral reefs.Heavy metals, including mercury, cadmium, and lead, continue to bioaccumulate in sediments, marine biota, and food webs, posing serious risks to fisheries productivity, food security, and public health.Additionally, thermal pollution and hypersaline effluents from desalination plants are altering salinitytemperature regimes, exacerbating stress on coral reefs and seagrass beds.Rapid coastal development and land reclamation are driving habitat loss, especially for mangroves and mudflats, while microplastic debris is increasingly entangling marine megafauna and contaminating seafood species.The socio-ecological consequences include biodiversity decline, heightened public health threats from seafood contamination and airborne pollutants, economic vulnerabilities in fisheries and tourism sectors, and the cultural erosion of traditional livelihoods such as pearl diving and artisanal fishing.Despite the establishment of Marine Protected Areas and regional initiatives like the Kuwait Action Plan, conservation efforts remain fragmented due to weak governance, geopolitical tensions, and insufficient transboundary cooperation.Critical research gaps persist in cumulative impact assessments, socio-economic valuation, and the integration of climate change stressors into pollution risk models.Safeguarding the Persian Gulf's ecological integrity demands the urgent adoption of ecosystem-based management frameworks, legally binding regional agreements, strengthened science-policy integration, proactive public engagement, and a commitment to embedding planetary health principles into national and regional development strategies.
New Pyranopyrazole-Based Indolin-2,3-Dione Hybrid as Effective Inhibitors of Xanthine Oxidase: Synthesis, In Vitro, and Molecular Modeling Approaches Osama Alharbi, Khalid Awadh Al‐Mutairi, Munjed M. Ibrahim, Ramith Ramu, Mohammed Al‐Ghorbani Chemistry and Biodiversity, 2025 In the current study, new pyranopyrazole analogs (9a–d and 10a–d) were synthesized through a one‐pot condensation reaction of 2‐arylacetohydrazide. The inhibitory abilities were investigated against the xanthine oxidase (XO) enzyme through experimental and molecular docking analyses. The synthesis studies were based on ultrasound‐mediated condensation reactions of four‐component containing 2‐arylacetohydrazide, ethyl acetoacetate, indoline‐2,3‐dione, and ethyl 2‐cyanoacetate/malononitrile in various solvents and catalysts to yield pyranopyrazole analogs (9a–d and 10a–d) in a short reaction time and remarkably favorable yields ranging from 79% to 92%. On the basis of the XO inhibition study of compounds 9a–d and 10a–d, compound 10d was the most potent (IC50 = 0.09 ± 0.22 µM), followed by 9c (0.12 ± 0.11 µM). With IC50 values of 0.20 ± 0.27 and 0.17 ± 0.11 µM respectively, compounds 10a and 10c exhibited moderate activity. The other compounds have shown less activity compared to the allopurinol control (IC50 = 0.14 ± 0.10 µM). Furthermore, in the molecular docking analysis, compound 10d was predicted to have the highest binding affinity against the target XO enzyme.
From desert margins to global insights: floristic diversity and conservation strategies in the arid regions of Tabuk and Khulais, Saudi Arabia – a bibliometric and ecological synthesis Khalid Awadh Al-Mutairi Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2025 Climate change, hydrological alterations, and anthropogenic pressures are collectively driving rapid ecological shifts in Saudi Arabia’s arid regions, particularly in Tabuk and Khulais. This study evaluates the status and conservation strategies of floristic diversity in these regions through a bibliometric and ecological synthesis. Using bibliometric analysis of 102 selected publications from 1984 to 2025, major thematic clusters were identified, focusing on policy interventions, hydrological impacts, biodiversity loss, and vegetation dynamics. Among these, 20 studies specifically addressed the Tabuk region’s ecological challenges and conservation responses. The findings reveal that rising temperatures (0.70–1.30 °C) and drastic rainfall reduction (up to 85%) have intensified aridity, decreased soil moisture, and accelerated biodiversity degradation. Invasive species such as Prosopis juliflora exacerbate the situation by outcompeting native flora for scarce resources. While rocky ecosystems exhibit resilience due to microclimatic buffering, fragile valley ecosystems require urgent, targeted measures like artificial water input and soil stabilization. Hydrological projects, including dam construction, have yielded mixed outcomes—enhancing species richness in riparian zones while simultaneously disrupting natural seed dispersal and causing habitat fragmentation. Rare and endemic species such as Rheum palaestinum and Astragalus collenettiae serve as vital indicators of ecosystem health and genetic heritage, underscoring the need for species-specific conservation initiatives. The study recommends integrated strategies that combine habitat restoration, sustainable water management, and long-term biodiversity monitoring. Furthermore, ecotourism development and community participation are highlighted as valuable components in achieving conservation goals, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and national biodiversity targets. This work contributes a comprehensive framework for managing arid-region floristic diversity under changing climatic conditions. By bridging ecological research with socio-economic and policy dimensions, the study offers valuable insights for sustainable forest and landscape management in desert-margin ecosystems globally.
Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe: lessons for sustainability and UNSDGs in health, energy, and environmental recovery Chee Kong Yap, Khalid Awadh Al-Mutairi Frontiers in Public Health, 2025 This study provides a comprehensive review of the research surrounding the Chernobyl nuclear incident, focusing on its far-reaching impacts on human health, and environmental contamination. Based on the Scopus database, 258 relevant papers were identified using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. These papers were metal-analyzed and quantitatively analyzed using a similarity map generated through VOSViewer in order to visualize key themes and their interconnections. The research highlights critical areas such as radiation-induced health effects, ecological damage, and the implications for sustainable energy practices. Additionally, this review explores the alignment of these findings with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), particularly UNSDG 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing), UNSDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), UNSDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), UNSDG 13 (Climate Action), and UNSDG 15 (Life on Land). By synthesizing existing research, this study emphasizes the importance of integrating safety protocols, environmental rehabilitation, and sustainable energy policies to prevent and to mitigate the impacts of future nuclear incidents.
Mangrove ecosystems in Western Asia: a literature review of trends, conservation gaps, and sustainable management strategies Chee Kong Yap, Khalid Awadh Al-Mutairi Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2025 This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric and systematic literature review (SLR) of mangrove ecosystem research in Western Asia, adhering to PRISMA guidelines to ensure methodological rigor. A total of 168 eligible documents published between 1991 and 2025 were identified from key Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain. The analysis synthesizes key trends in mangrove research across themes such as biodiversity conservation, climate change adaptation, socio-economic impacts, and sustainable management. Using the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) framework, four key strengths were identified: ecological resilience of Avicennia marina, growing research productivity, institutional collaboration, and policy interest. Weaknesses included fragmented governance, limited socio-economic valuation, and inadequate data integration. Opportunities were found in emerging technologies such as remote sensing, blue carbon finance, and regional restoration programs. Threats were dominated by climate change, industrial encroachment, and transboundary pollution. To translate these findings into actionable strategies, a TOWS matrix was developed. The Strength–Opportunity (SO) strategy proposed leveraging robust research capacity to access climate finance and promote innovation. The Weakness–Opportunity (WO) strategy emphasized applying geospatial tools to overcome governance gaps. The Strength–Threat (ST) strategy suggested using localized pollution data to enhance regulatory enforcement. Finally, the Weakness–Threat (WT) strategy advocated for the development of cross-border policy networks to mitigate shared ecological risks. By integrating bibliometric insights with strategic planning tools, this study provides evidence-based recommendations for improving mangrove governance, monitoring, and conservation in the arid coastal zones of Western Asia.
THE POTENTIALS OF PERNA VIRIDIS SHELLS AS BIOMONITORING TOOLS FOR CADMIUM CONTAMINATION IN COASTAL AREA OF PENINSULAR MALAYSIA C.K. YAP, K.A. AL-MUTAIRI Applied Ecology and Environmental Research, 2025 . This study evaluates the potential of Perna viridis shells as reliable biomonitoring materials for cadmium (Cd) contamination in coastal ecosystems across 16 sites in Peninsular Malaysia. Mussels were sampled from diverse environments, including industrial, aquaculture, and recreational areas, providing a comprehensive assessment of environmental Cd exposure. Each mussel’s shells and soft tissues were analyzed separately, with shells showing consistent, significant positive correlations with bioavailable and organic-oxidizable sediment-bound Cd fractions. These correlations were stronger in shell components, particularly in the periostracum, compared to soft tissues, suggesting that shells provide a more stable, long-term record of environmental Cd contamination. Multiple linear regression analysis further identified bioavailable Cd fractions as significant predictors of Cd accumulation in shells, indicating that shell-based monitoring can reliably reflect ambient Cd levels in sediments. Surface sediment samples were also analyzed, confirming the environmental Cd distribution across sites. Findings highlight that P. viridis shells are better than soft tissues in monitoring chronic Cd contamination, offering a durable, cost-effective solution for coastal pollution assessment. This approach aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, by supporting sustainable marine conservation and pollution management practices.
ASSESSMENT OF COPPER AND ZINC CONTAMINATION IN PADDY SOILS AND GRAINS FROM KEMUNING AND KELAWEH, KELANTAN: IMPLICATIONS FOR SUSTAINABILITY AND PLANETARY HEALTH C.K. YAP, K.A. AL-MUTAIRI Applied Ecology and Environmental Research, 2025 . This study aimed to investigated the concentrations of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) in paddy tissues and associated topsoils from Kemuning and Kelaweh, Kelantan. It assessed the potential ecological and health risks linked to metal accumulation. The results revealed significantly (P< 0.05) higher Cu and Zn concentrations in Kelaweh than Kemuning, particularly in the outlet zones, where metal accumulation was the most pronounced. The contamination factor and ecological risk index indicated that Kelaweh has a greater contamination potential, with Cu target hazard quotient (THQ) values exceeding the safe threshold for adults, suggesting a potential health risk. Zn levels, though elevated, did not pose an immediate health concern, as THQ values remained below risk thresholds. These findings highlighted the need for sustainable agricultural practices, improved water management, and continuous monitoring to ensure food safety and protect planetary health. The study emphasized the critical link between soil health, food security, and ecosystem sustainability in the context of rising environmental pressures. By understanding the current levels of metal contamination and the associated risks, policymakers and farmers can implement targeted interventions to ensure that paddy cultivation remains sustainable and contributes positively to planetary health.
EVALUATION OF COPPER AND ZINC CONCENTRATIONS IN DRIED FRUITS COLLECTED FROM MARKETPLACES OF PENINSULAR MALAYSIA: HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT, FOOD SECURITY IMPLICATIONS, AND THE NECESSITY FOR REGULAR MONITORING Chee Kong Yap, Khalid Awadh Al-Mutairi Applied Ecology and Environmental Research, 2025 This study investigates the concentrations of Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn) in five types of dried fruits (raisins, kiwis, dates, figs, and apricots) collected from marketplaces in Peninsular Malaysia, while assessing their potential health risks based on the maximum permissible limits (MPLs) set by Malaysian Food Regulations (1985).After converting from the dry weight basis, the results show that figs exhibited the highest levels of Cu (9 mg/kg wet weight) and Zn (9.95 mg/kg wet weight), while kiwis had the lowest concentrations for both metals.Estimated daily intake (EDI) and target hazard quotient (THQ) values were calculated for each metal, revealing low health risks, with THQs for all fruits remaining below 1. Figs had the highest THQs for Cu (0.61) and Zn (0.08), suggesting moderate caution in frequent consumption.The study also emphasizes the importance of regularly monitoring metal concentrations in dried fruits, improved agricultural and post-harvest practices, and the need for clear labelling to inform consumers about potential metal content.These findings provide critical insights into ensuring food safety, reducing metal exposure, and promoting dietary diversity for better public health outcomes.
