The dataset compares productivity of landscape depressions in pastoral ecosystems of Jordan under different treatments.
Restoring the Jordan’s Badia Agro-Ecosystems - tracking developmental interventions and impacts using Remote Sensing
This is a presentation held in Jordan under the Water and Livelihood Initiative (WLI). It is an overview of the Jordan's situational analysis reflecting main problems, solutions and relative tools adopted.
Rehabilitation and Integrated Management of Dry Rangelands Environments with Water Harvesting
The Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region encompasses large areas of arid and semi-arid zones. These zones may be defined as areas where rainfall, relative to the level of evapotranspiration, is inadequate ...
Mechanization of transplanting shrubs seedlings and contours laser guiding for Vallerani system
In relevance to the project objectives and expected outputs, the reported research aimed at introducing a mechanized transplanting technique to the WH system to reduce costs and time of establishment of fodder shrubs, thus ...
Development of Decadal National Land Cover Database for Jordan
The main objective of this study is to introduce the first consistent long term land cover database for Jordan. The Jordan National Land Cover Database (JNLCD) consists of four land cover maps for the years 1984, 1991, ...
The effect of grazing exclusion on vegetation characteristics and plant community structure in arid lowland pastures
Rangelands are the mainstay of pastoral livelihoods worldwide. Within rangelands, there are landscape depressions or lowlands characterized by high production potentials with their unique edaphic and hydrologic properties. ...
Caravan 25: Special issue on climate change
This issue of Caravan describes some of ICARDA's work on climate change. It contains overviews of the key issues, and articles describing research in specific areas. We examine, for example, how genetic resources – landrace ...
Effective Mechanized Rainwater Harvesting: Coping with climate change implications in the Jordanian Badia
Research on micro-catchment rainwater harvesting techniques by ICARDA and Jordanian
scientists has led to the establishment of semicircular bunds on contour ridges and furrows
(using GPS laser-guided Vallerani machine) and ...
Water Benchmarks of CWANA project - Characteristics of Benchmark Research Agroecosystems in WANA: Rainfed, Irrigated, and Marginal Drylands
This report was written in close cooperation with national agricultural research systems (NARS) at the benchmark sites. The six background papers provide valuable information on socioeconomics, natural resources and national ...
ICARDA Annual Report 2017: Pathways to impact for building thriving and resilient communities in dry areas
Widespread heat waves, floods, and droughts last year were a strong reminder of the threats posed by climate change. In the non-tropical dry areas where ICARDA works we are becoming accustomed to record high temperatures ...
