Soil organic carbon accumulation in Cactus pear as affected by soil volume
The impact of soil volume availability on soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation rate in Cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) in Muchaqqar station in Jordan . In April 2014, 1 year old cactus cladodes were planted in five ...
International Cooperative Development of Techniques for Sustainability when Managing and Restoring Degraded Rangelands
In the United States 20% of privately owned rangelands are vulnerable to accelerated soil loss. Estimated annual costs of direct and indirect damage caused by soil erosion in the United States is $27 billion dollars. ...
Assessing the impact of livestock grazing on vegetation dynamics of the Jordanian Badia
The major drivers leading to rangeland degradation include overgrazing, climate change and encroachment of rain fed agriculture. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the response of vegetation characteristics to ...
Land Degradation Risk Assessment for Sustainable Rangeland Restoration in Jordan
Rangeland Hydrology and Erosion Model (RHEM) was used to explore three different rangeland states’ implications on water and soil fluxes. The estimated baseline (A), based on literature review and community questionnaire, ...
Exploring the Jordanian rangeland status transition merging the restoration experiment with modeling
Due to recurring droughts and severe overgrazing, Jordan’s dry rangelands are exceptionally prone to degradation. Establishing both restoration and sustainable rangeland management practices are crucial to reverse the ...
Genome Wide Association Mapping of Seedling and Adult Plant Resistance to Barley Stripe Rust in India
Performing genome-wide association mapping (GWAM), we identified and estimated effects of loci underlying quantitative resistance to barley stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. hordei (Psh). Barley stripe rust ...
