Effect of protection on plant community dynamics in the Mediterranean arid zone of southern Tunisia: a case study from Bou Hedma national park
Ecosystems protected from heavy grazing impacts, such as national parks and refuges, are generally considered to sustain higher plant species diversity and better ecosystem composition and structure compared to heavily ...
Environmental factors of spatial distribution of soil salinity on flat irrigated terrain
Inefficient irrigation and the excessive use ofwater on agricultural land in the Aral Sea Basin over several decades
have led to saline soils. The main objective of this paper is to identify the environmental predictors ...
Soils and Soil Ecology in Khorezm
The current status of the agricultural soils in Khorezm is closely linked to their development influenced by past river flows and more recent human-managed irrigation and drainage practices. The initial relief of the ...
Optimization of sequence alignment for simple sequence repeat regions
Background: Microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), are tandemly repeated DNA sequences, including
tandem copies of specific sequences no longer than six bases, that are distributed in the genome. SSR has ...
Initial Assessment of Medicinal Plants Across the Libyan Mediterranean Coast
The medicinal plants of the Libyan Mediterranean Coast represent an opportunity to reduce rural poverty in the arid and semi-arid ecosystems due to their water use efficiency, low costs of collection and cultivation, high ...
ICARDA Annual Report 2011
Poverty, food insecurity, natural resource degradation and climate change are global challenges; but they impact most severely on rural communities in dry areas. Addressing these challenges requires a combination of good ...
