“…Regular monitoring and surveillance are crucial to track the effectiveness of any control measures and to adjust the approaches used (Rehman et al ., 2022). Strategies may involve implementing quarantine measures, applying targeted treatments, and addressing pollution sources (Mu et al ., 2023). Ultimately, successful control of invasive species in polluted environments requires an integrated approach that considers the unique challenges posed by both the invasive species and the pollutant, aiming to restore the ecosystem's health and resilience (Rai, 2022).…”

Weed communities influence the dynamics of ecosystems, particularly in disturbed environments where anthropogenic activities often result in higher pollution. Understanding the dynamics existing between native weed communities and invasive species in disturbed environments is crucial for effective management and normal ecosystem functioning. Recognising the potential resistance of native weed communities to invasion in disturbed environments can help identify suitable native plants for restoration operations. This review aims to investigate the adaptations exhibited by native and non‐native weeds that may affect invasions within disturbed environments. Factors such as ecological characteristics, altered soil conditions, and adaptations of native weed communities that potentially confer a competitive advantage relative to non‐native or invasive weeds in disturbed environments are analysed. Moreover, the roles of biotic interactions such as competition, mutualistic relationships, and allelopathy in shaping the invasion resistance of native weed communities are described. Emphasis is given to the consideration of the resistance of native weeds as a key factor in invasion dynamics that provides insights for conservation and restoration efforts in disturbed environments. Additionally, this review underscores the need for further research to unravel the underlying mechanisms and to devise targeted management strategies. These strategies aim to promote the resistance of native weed communities and mitigate the negative effects of invasive weed species in disturbed environments. By delving deeper into these insights, we can gain an understanding of the ecological dynamics within disturbed ecosystems and develop valuable insights for the management of invasive species, and to restore long‐term ecosystem sustainability.

“…In this context, multivariate statistical methods received attention as an alternative to conventional methods and help select appropriate monitoring components that are effective in terms of cost and time (Miyittah et al, 2020;Prusty & Farooq, 2020;Tavakol et al, 2017). As multivariate analysis is an imperative tool in designing water quality monitoring programs, it is widely employed for monitoring and assessing the water quality of both surface and groundwater all over the world (Li et al, 2021(Li et al, , 2019Mu et al, 2023;Wu et al, 2020).…”

Sustainable water resources management requires monitoring and assessment of water quality in addition to quantity. Coastal lagoons play a critical role for the people and the ecosystem at large. Water quality monitoring and assessment for lagoons in Sri Lanka is important considering its services to the country. However, due to a lack of resources, most of the lagoons are not monitored and reported properly for further action. This study aims to develop a protocol in terms of monitoring sites, parameters, and frequency for water quality monitoring using a case study in a coastal lagoon, in Sainthamaruthu, Sri Lanka. The physicochemical parameters were measured weekly at eighteen monitoring sites for 4 months during the dry season from June to September 2022. Cluster analysis (CA) along with Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) interpolation technique revealed that a minimum of three sites out of 18 are sufficient for monitoring water quality in the lagoon. In light of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Discriminant Analysis (DA), it was decided to retain temperature, pH, turbidity, Total Dissolved solids (TDS), Electrical Conductivity (EC), and Dissolved Oxygen (DO) in monitoring programs, since they cumulatively account for 79% of the variation in water quality in the lagoon spatially and temporally. Monitoring turbidity, TDS, and EC at weekly interval, while monitoring temperature, pH, and DO at biweekly or monthly is recommended. A further indication of the lagoon's water quality is that the mean values for turbidity (27 NTU), EC (754 μS/cm), and DO (4.6 ppm) higher than ambient standards, while TDS (344 ppm) and pH (6.98) are within. Therefore, we conclude that the lagoon requires remediation measures to be suitable for environmental purposes during dry periods.

“…Recent research on groundwater quality and hydrochemical processes has largely focused on their spatial and temporal distribution (Zhou et al, 2022;Mu et al, 2023;Xu et al, 2023) using statistical tools (Nsabimana & Li, 2023), background and threshold values of groundwater composition, and how hydrochemical processes affect fractionation of environmental isotopes (He et al, 2022). Xu et al (2023) assessed the risk of nitrate in drinking water to human health using the spatial distribution of the major indicators of the water quality while also understanding the processes controlling the hydrochemistry of the groundwater in the Guanzhong Basin.…”

“…Nsabimana and Li (2023) developed an industrial water quality index (IndWQI) utilized a combination of statistical, ionic plots and correlation analysis on results of water chemistry in order to assess the water quality and its suitability for industrial usage in Guanzhong Basin of China. Sources of groundwater pollution from the Malian River and their level of impact was studied by Mu et al (2023) while evaluating spatiotemporal change in water quality over time using ANOVA and cluster analysis on the water quality parameters. Zhou et al (2022) in their study of groundwater in Xi'an Region of China established spatiotemporal changes in the natural background level and threshold values of all measured ions in the groundwater with time.…”

Thirty-five groundwater samples from the aquifer were collected and analyzed for major cations and anions to understand the groundwater chemistry and hydrochemical processes in the Egbako aquifer. Laboratory studies identified the major ions while the results were analyzed using different graphical methods and ionic plots. The abundance of the major cations and anions are Ca2+>K+>Na+>Mg2+ and HCO3->NO3->Cl->SO42- respectively. The dominant hydrochemical facies are calcium-bicarbonate (Ca-HCO3), sodium-bicarbonate (Na-HCO3) and mixed calcium-sodium bicarbonate (Ca-Na-HCO3) water types. Interpretation of bivariate and scatter plots indicate silicate weathering, simple dissolution and ion exchange as the dominant processes in the aquifer. Saturation indices reveals evaporites (halite, gypsum and anhydrite) undersaturation, supersaturation in most samples with respect to silicates (quartz and kaolinite) and few samples for carbonate (calcite, aragonite, dolomite). Assessment of the water quality indicate that they are chemically suitable for human consumption except in the agricultural fields of southwestern areas where high nitrate concentration is present.
