Impacts of soil and water conservation techniques in Tunisia. Inventory of research works and studies
Inventory of previous research and studies conducted in Tunisia on selected relevant soil and water conservation and water harvesting techniques
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 ...
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 ...
Ecological restoration across the Mediterranean Basin as viewed by practitioners
Restoration efforts in the Mediterranean Basin have been changing from a silvicultural to an ecological restoration
approach. Yet, to what extent the projects are guided by ecological restoration principles remains ...
Organic Carbon and Alkalinity Increase in Topsoil after Rangeland Restoration through Atriplex Nummularia Plantation
This research studied the impact of fodder shrub plantations (Atriplex nummularia Lindl.) on topsoil properties, with particular reference to organic carbon, nitrogen, and soluble salts, in the Marrakech region (central ...
Biophysical and Econometric analysis of adoption of soil and water conservation techniques in the semiarid region of Sidi Bouzid (Central Tunisia)
Synthesis Paper prepared to be presented as an oral presentation at the 5th EUROSOIL International Congress (http://www.eurosoil2016istanbul.org/themes-and-topics/) Istanbul 2016 - 17-22 July, 2016 – Istanbul – Turkey

Using SPOT Imagery to Assess the Effectiveness of Combating Desertification in Marrakech, Morocco
Desertification, leading to the reduction of land
productivity, is one of the major threats in dryland
ecosystems. Actions to combat desertification have become
one of the important land management practices in the ...
Sustaining Moroccan Oasis Agricultural System through Small Mechanization Inputs
Saharan oases can be highly artificial ecosystems, capable of sustaining agriculture under arid climatic conditions; the traditional
system requires some degree of collective management for plants, soil and water but has ...
Impact and adoption of SWC techniques: research progress and preliminary results
The main objective of this research is to model the impact of soil and water conservation
(SWC) structures on runoff and erosion processes at the watershed scale, by means of
watershed-based modelling (SWAT software). ...
Experiment set-up: SOC trials in Merchouch and Guich stations, year 1
This is the first progress report of the SOC-related component of the research, on the effects of Durum Wheat genotypes on soil organic carbon and total nitrogen in the root zone.
