Tunisia is located in North Africa, on the border of the Mediterranean. A big part of Tunisia have semiarid and arid climates, which are marked by extremes in daily high and low temperatures, with hot summers and cold ...
Geoinformatics and Genetic Resources under Changing Climate
Each species requires minimum/optimum area for its survival, evolution and gene exchange. Analysis of
habitat condition, function, composition, fragmentation, patchiness, interspersion and juxtaposition has an
impact on ...
Livelihoods Effects of Zero Tillage among Small and Medium Holder Farmers in the Developing World
The biophysical benefits of conservation agriculture (CA) are well documented in the literature. However, the literature on the economic benefits of CA, especially in the context of small and medium-scale farmers is scanty. ...
Stabilized Nitrogen Fertilizers to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Improve Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Australian Agriculture
Loss of nitrogen (N) from applied fertilizer is a major cause of inefficiency in N fertilizer utilization. This loss of N can occur through many pathways including ammonia (NH3) volatilization, nitrate (NO3) leaching and ...
