Monthly report of activities for May 2017
The report details the main tasks accomplished during May 2017 in the context of the project “Impact evaluation of SLM options to achieve land degradation neutrality in Tunisia”. Basically the report provide the progress ...
We Need Youth! Small mechanization to preserve Moroccan Oases
The University of Florence, in collaboration with the University of Moulay Ismail and ICARDA, proposed the
introduction of small machines as a possible solution to reduce the drudgery of farm work, facilitate field
operations, ...
Creating Spatial Data on Sustainable Land Management Practices in two Pilot Sites in Tunisia (Northern Africa)
Many efforts have been invested in the Dry Areas to combat land degradation and desertification. Different strategies and approaches for conserving soil and water and restoring degraded lands have been developed by local, ...
Parameterization of the Effect of Bench Terraces on Runoff and Sediment Yield by Swat Modelling in a Small Semi-Arid Watershed in Northern Tunisia
In Tunisia, Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) interventions are among the most practicable strategies to prevent and mitigate rainwater losses through surface runoff and consequential erosion of fertile soils. In this ...
Mapping Tool in the WebGIS of Geo-informatics Options by Contexts (GeOC)
Presentation on Mapping Tool in the WebGIS of Geo-informatics Options by Contexts (GeOC)
Impact evaluation of SLM options to achieve land degradation neutrality: Dryland Systems interim report
The aim of the project is to develop and implement a web-based GIS tool for defining sustainable land management (SLM) options by social-ecological context at global scale. This Global Geo-informatics Context and Options ...
Improving the date production chain in the Moroccan oases through small mechanization inputs to support the governmental development strategies
Moroccan oases as other Saharan oases are a highly artificial ecosystem that have proved to be capable
of sustaining agriculture under arid climatic conditions for centuries, though it has suffered a strong
degradation ...
Land cover changes in Tunisia using MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) MCD12Q1 yearly products
Land cover is one of the important components of the global geosphere-biosphere-atmosphere
continuum and equilibrium. Regular information on land cover is necessary for a continuous
monitoring of the Earth’s ecological ...
Technical Report on Training Course Salinity Management. 2017 Jan, Egypt
The general objective of this training event was to communicate and promote the successful achievements and success stories of the various projects implemented in managing salinity from a soil, water, crop perspective and ...
Genome-wide association study for agronomic and physiological traits in spring wheat evaluated in a range of heat prone environments
We undertook large-scale genetic analysis to determine marker-trait associations (MTAs) underlying agronomic and physiological performance in spring wheat using genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Field trials were ...
