Modelling the Effects of Soil Conditions on Olive Productivity in Mediterranean Hilly Areas
The majority of olive production in Mediterranean environments is characterized by low external inputs and is practiced in hilly
areaswith shallowsoils.This study aimed to study the nutritional status for olive trees ...
Halophytes as forages in saline landscapes: interactions between plant genotype and environment change their feeding value to ruminants
This report focuses on three factors that affect livestock production using halophytes – biomass production, nutritive value (NV) of the biomass and voluntary feed intake (VFI). The growth of halophytic forages is widely ...
A Participatory GIS Approach to Identify Critical Land Degradation Areas and Prioritize Soil Conservation for Mountainous Olive Groves (Case Study)
Climate change scenarios predict an
increase in the frequency of heavy rainfall events in
some areas. This will increase runoff and soil erosion,
and reduce agricultural productivity, particularly on
vulnerable mountainous ...

Developing scenarios to assess sunflower and soybean yield under different sowing dates and water regimes in the Bekaa valley (Lebanon): Simulations with Aquacrop
In a semi-arid environment, the main challenge for crop production is water
limitation in space and in time. Considered as appropriate tools, models are used to
evaluate the effects of water deficit on crop productivity ...
