A 50-m Forest Cover Map in Southeast Asia from ALOS/ PALSAR and Its Application on Forest Fragmentation Assessment
Southeast Asia experienced higher rates of deforestation than other continents in the 1990s and still was a hotspot of forest
change in the 2000s. Biodiversity conservation planning and accurate estimation of forest carbon ...
Evaluating the cost and gain from genetic resistance to Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor (say)) in durum wheat in Morocco using recombinant inbred lines
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) is an important food crop in the
Mediterranean region. Hessian fly is the most important insect pest of wheat in the dry land
areas in Morocco. Breeding wheat for genetic ...
Summer-growing perennial grasses are a potential new feed source in the low rainfall environment of southern Australia
In the Mallee region of southern Australia, the dry and variable climate results in frequent summer–autumn feed
gaps, restricting the profitability of farms that combine livestock and crop enterprises. To assess the ...
Conservation agriculture for improving water productivity in Vertisols of semi-arid tropics
Large variability and uncertainty of rainfall are the
main limiting factors for crop growth in rainfed agriculture.
Agriculture water management interventions
are considered as suitable adoption strategy to enhance
crop ...
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 ...
Implications of a shift in irrigation technology on resource use efficiency: A Syrian case
The absence of adequate land leveling coupled with the ill designed traditional furrow irrigation systems
and the poor condition of drainage structures in most Syrian farms are leading to over-irrigation. A stochastic
production ...
Irrigation Water Use Efficiency and Fann Size in Tunisian Agriculture: A Parametric Frontier Analysis Approach
In an economy such as Tmrisia where resources are scarce and opportunities to use new
technologies are limited, efficiency is a very important factor for productivity growth. Inefficiency studies
indicate the potential to ...
Nitrous oxide emissions from a New Zealand cropped soil: tillage effects, spatial and seasonal variability
Agricultural practices are believed to be the major anthropogenic source of enhanced nitrous oxide (N2O) gas emissions in
New Zealand. Studies conducted in New Zealand generally suggest low N2O emission from pasture; ...
Effects of salinity and drought on early seedling growth and survival of Artemisia herbaalba
Seedlings of Artemisia herba-alba grown in glasshouse were watered with differing salinities (0, 150, 250 or 350 mM NaCI) and watering frequencies of 3, 7, 14 or 21 days for a period of 6 weeks. At the end of the study, ...
Effects of conservation agriculture on crop productivity and water-use efficiency under an irrigated pigeonpea – wheat cropping system in the western Indo-Gangetic Plains
In search of a suitable resource conservation technology under pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.)–wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) system in the Indo-Gangetic Plains, the effects of conservation agriculture (CA) on crop productivity ...
