Potential Shift in Dryland Cropping Systems in Middle East and North African Countries.
Agro-ecosystems are critical in the livelihoods of > 80% of rural communities in Middle East and North Africa. A shrinking natural resource base, increased land degradation and severe water scarcity impact food production ...
Actual Evapotranspiration of rainfed areas in 2008
Evapotranspiration was determined using the methodology proposed by USGS’s Simplified Surface Energy Balance. The Actual Evapotranspiration (AET, mm) estimation were done using MODIS 1km (thermal infrared band resolution) ...
Crop yield of irrigated areas in 2002
Crop yield layer where derived from MODIS gross primary productivity (GPP) layer as a production efficiency model approach that estimates crop growth from intercepted photo synthetically active radiation and light use ...
Geoinformatics for nourishing drylands
At a global perspective drylands :
- Cover 41 percent of the Earth’s surface
- Support 30 percent of the world’s population
- Support 50 percent of the world’s livestock
- Grow 44 percent of the world’s food
- Are home to ...
Decadal National Land Cover Database for Jordan at 30 m resolution
Availability of national land cover database plays a fundamental role in understanding environmental and socio-ecological issues under a constant state of changing climate and demography. However, systematic, compatible, ...
Actual Evapotranspiration of rainfed areas in 2002
Evapotranspiration was determined using the methodology proposed by USGS’s Simplified Surface Energy Balance.The Actual Evapotranspiration (AET, mm) estimation was done using MODIS 1km (thermal infrared band resolution) ...
Quantification of Agricultural Water Productivity at Field Scale and Its Implication in On-Farm Water Management
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is under
extreme water shortage conditions. About 80 % of water in
KSA is utilized by the agricultural sector; therefore, proper
management of irrigation water is required to produce ...
Assessing Agricultural Water Productivity in Desert Farming System of Saudi Arabia
The primary objective of this study was to assess the water productivity (WP) of the annual (wheat, barley, and corn) and biennial (alfalfa and Rhodes grass) crops cultivated under centerpivot irrigation located over desert ...
Activity 5.1: Implement a distance coaching of the Regional Network members through a virtual platform, in parallel to the Field Measurements activity
ICARDA and FAO-RNE in partnership together initiated a project to establish a Regional
Network for field (crops and orchards) ETa measurements (NENA-ETNet) with an initial
participation of five countries of the Near East ...
Restoring Degraded Rangeland Ecosystem In Jordan: Optimizing Mechanized Micro-Water Harvesting Using Rangeland Hydrology And Erosion Model (RHEM)
Jordan’s rangelands, the so called Badia, home of the Bedouins, are threatened through a combination of over-exploitation of its ecosystem services and a changing climate towards drier seasons coupled with erratic rainfalls. ...
