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
Soil indicators to assess the effectiveness of restoration strategies in dryland ecosystems
Soil indicators may be used for assessing both land
suitability for restoration and the effectiveness of restoration
strategies in restoring ecosystem functioning and services. In
this review paper, several soil indicators, ...
Enhancing the performance of regional land cover mapping
Different pixel-based, object-based and subpixel-based methods such as time-series analysis, decision-tree, and different supervised approaches have been proposed to conduct land use/cover classification.However, despite ...
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 ...
Soil and water conservation effects of stone bunds at different scales – a case study from Gumara-Maksegnit watershed, Lake Tana Basin, Ethiopia
Various soil and water conservation (SWC) interventions across the Ethiopian farmlands are supposed to prevent ongoing land degradation and soil depletion related to rainfall driven soil erosion.
Towards an integrated monitoring framework to assess the effectiveness of land restoration interventions in Badia, and a framework to enhance the impact of land restoration.
This report was produced in the frame of the Project titled “Sustainability and Operationalization of Established Regional Agricultural Research Centers in Five Arab Countries”, funded by the Arab Fund for Economic & Social ...
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 ...
