Assessing different systems for enhancing farm income and resilience in extreme dry region of India
Enhancing resilience among small farm households in dry regions is important to cope with extreme weather conditions and changing climate. This study presents the results of assessment made in Western Rajasthan (Thar) ...
A Participatory GIS Approach to Identify Critical Land Degradation Areas and Prioritize Soil Conservation for Mountainous Olive Groves (Case Study)
Climate change scenarios predict an
increase in the frequency of heavy rainfall events in
some areas. This will increase runoff and soil erosion,
and reduce agricultural productivity, particularly on
vulnerable mountainous ...
Developing scenarios to assess sunflower and soybean yield under different sowing dates and water regimes in the Bekaa valley (Lebanon): Simulations with Aquacrop
In a semi-arid environment, the main challenge for crop production is water
limitation in space and in time. Considered as appropriate tools, models are used to
evaluate the effects of water deficit on crop productivity ...
Comparison of hourly and daily reference crop evapotranspiration equations across seasons and climate zones in Australia
Estimates from the FAO Penman–Monteith (FAO-PM) and the standardized ASCE Penman–Monteith(ASCE-PM) hourly and daily reference evapotranspiration (ET0) equations were compared at daily scale,based on the hourly climate data ...
Direct seeding of Salsola vermiculata for rehabilitation of degraded arid and semi-arid rangelands
Proper soil preparation provides the basis for good seed
germination and establishment of steppe vegetation in
the arid and semi-arid areas of West Asia and North
Africa. Salsola vermiculata is a key shrub species of ...
Effect of salt stress (sodium chloride) on germination and seedling growth of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) genotypes
The impact of salt stress under different salinity level (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 mMol of NaCl) on ten
genotypes of durum wheat namely: Werd Bled, Hmira, Bidi, Arbi, INRAT 69, Agili, Derbassi and Bayatha,

Assessment of the severity and impact of drought spells on rainfed cereals in Morocco
Drought is a major factor affecting cereal production in most the rainfed areas of West
Asia and North Africa. Recent increases in drought frequency in Morocco have resulted in
the yields of field crops being extremely ...
Geostatistical monitoring of soil salinity in Uzbekistan by repeated EMI surveys
Soil salinization in the lower reaches of Amudarya is a constant threat. High seepage losses in irrigation water delivery
network and deteriorated drainage network result in rising groundwater tables. The shallowgroundwater
table ...
Influence of Acacia Trees on Near‐Surface Soil Hydraulic Properties in Arid Tunisia
Studies in arid regions have shown that scattered trees strongly influence the environmental conditions under their canopies providing
favourable conditions for the recruitment of other plants. The most critical factor ...
