This strong international community will contribute to the journal’s growth through high-level submissions, special issues, topical collections, and critical reviews, ensuring that JISEES becomes a leading platform for advancing eco-environmental sustainability worldwide.

The vision of the Journal of International Society for Eco-Environmental Sustainability (JISEES) is rooted in the urgent need to address the pressing global challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, environmental pollution, and unsustainable resource use threats that increasingly destabilize ecosystems and human well-being.

The need for innovative solutions for global eco-environmental sustainability arises from the unprecedented scale and complexity of environmental challenges facing the planet. Climate change, biodiversity loss, soil degradation, water scarcity, pollution, and unsustainable resource use are increasingly interconnected, creating cascading effects that threaten ecosystem stability, food security, and human well-being. Traditional approaches often address individual problems in isolation, which is insufficient given the multifaceted and interdependent nature of modern environmental crises. Innovative solutions ranging from nature-based strategies and green technologies to bioremediation, circular economy models, and digital tools are essential to mitigate these impacts, enhance resilience, and foster sustainable development. By integrating interdisciplinary knowledge and cutting-edge technologies, such solutions can transform scientific insights into practical, scalable actions that restore ecosystems, optimize resource use, and promote long-term environmental and societal sustainability. In short, global eco-environmental sustainability demands creative, integrative, and forward-thinking approaches that address both current challenges and future risks.

JISEES serves as a global forum for advancing such transformative knowledge and solutions. The journal welcomes original research and reviews across a wide scope, including environmental biotechnology and bioremediation, pollution control and integrated waste management, sustainable agriculture and soil conservation, climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies, biodiversity conservation, and renewable energy and environment interactions. Special emphasis is placed on cross-disciplinary approaches that harness nanotechnology, synthetic biology, biosensors, advanced imaging, big data, and AI-driven models to tackle environmental challenges. JISEES is committed to publishing high-quality, mechanism-driven, and solution-oriented studies that bridge science, technology, and policy, ensuring that knowledge is not only advanced but also translated into practical applications for sustainable development. Ultimately, the journal aims to inspire resilience, foster eco-innovation, and contribute to safeguarding ecosystems for present and future generations.

Publication Vision

Every manuscript undergoes a rigorous peer-review process to ensure novelty, scientific depth, and real-world relevance. Beyond advancing theory, JISEES seeks to bridge science, technology, and policy, driving transformative solutions for ecosystems under stress. By integrating diverse fields from biotechnology and nanoscience to ecology, engineering, and policy the journal aims to establish itself as a premier platform for advancing sustainability science. Ultimately, the mission of JISEES is to safeguard ecosystems, enhance resilience, and promote sustainable development for present and future generations.

Glucose (Glc) accumulates in leaves as minor product, synthesized during photosynthesis and is famous to control a wide array of plant physiological processes. Hence, is required to assess the role of Glc, when it is supplied exogenously. Seeds of Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench were soaked in different concentrations of Glc (0, 20, 30 and 40 mM) for 4, 8, or 12hrs and later sown in pots with soil and farmyard manure (6:1). Sampling was done at 45-day stage of growth to assess the various biological and biochemical parameters. Pre-sowing treatment of Glc enhanced the growth and metabolism of plants in the following order: 30 mM> 20 mM> 40 mM> 0 mM. Glc promoted gaseous exchange parameters including net photosynthetic rate. It also augmented the activities of enzymes of carbon and nitrogen metabolism. Moreover, it boosts the defence system by increasing activities of antioxidant enzymes along with proline content. Maximum response was noted in the plants emerging from the seeds soaked in 30 mM of Glc for 4hrs. The elevation in photosynthetic efficiency and antioxidant generation proved beneficial in improving the growth of the plant.

Rice is a staple food for more than half of the global population, underscoring the importance of sustainably intensifying rice production systems to ensure food security. Conventional nutrient management practices often lead to inefficient nutrient use, environmental contamination, and soil degradation. This review synthesizes recent developments in next-generation nutrient management strategies designed to improve both rice productivity and soil quality. Specifically, it examines site-specific nutrient management, controlled-release fertilizers, integrated nutrient management, digital agriculture tools, microbial biofertilizers, and conservation agriculture practices. These approaches are evaluated for their potential to increase nitrogen use efficiency, minimize environmental impacts, enhance soil health, and sustain or boost yield potential. The review also addresses implementation challenges in various rice ecosystems and proposes a framework for context-specific adoption. Ultimately, it identifies future research priorities, emphasising the need for a comprehensive evaluation of these technologies across multiple growing seasons and diverse agroecological zones.

Global climate change and rapid population growth pose challenges to food security and also require crop improvement techniques to improve the quality and quantity of crops. To ensure food security, advanced nanotechnology and nano-engineering are tools to increase crop yields and ensure sustainability in the face of climate change, where the agricultural world is facing many unprecedented challenges. and reduce losses to achieve production. Nano-particles and nano-materials provide a wide scope for fertilizers and pesticides. Nano-materials are also creating specialized products for agrochemicals, simplifying and controlling delivery and improving crop protection. Due to the current and considered use of nanotechnology in the management and control products (fertilizers, pesticides, etc.), in this review we list recent information on the new use of nanotechnology in agriculture that will help to meet food and agricultural needs as well as ensures environment security. Although nanotechnologies contribute to the development of the world in many ways, they also face some limitations. Although nanotechnology is at the forefront of modern scientific progress, its negative effects cannot be ignored.

Climate change and agriculture are closely interrelated and their effects on each other can be seen in the present-day agriculture. Global warming exerts a significant impact on agriculture because of rise in temperature, diminished precipitation, glacial melting, and uneven monsoon etc. Increment in the concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) has both impeding and valuable effects on crop yields. Therefore, in agriculture, a proper evaluation of unfriendly impact of climate change is required. An increase in temperature, shortage in rainfall, the incidence of flood and longer dry spells especially in non-ordinary pockets are confirmations of climatic dangers. Thus, appropriate mitigation strategies to reduce GHGs emissions and adaptation of resource conservation technologies (RCTs) are required to make the agriculture sector more resilient to climate change.
