Multiscale Salinity Mapping in Central and Southern Iraq by Remote Sensing
Salinity has become one of the major problems
affecting crop production and food security in Central and
Southern Iraq. There is a pressing need to quantify and map the
spatial extent and distribution of the salinity in ...
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 ...
Role of geoinformatics in ensuing global food security with special reference to dryland agroecosystems
Agriculture plays an important role in providing
food security in developing countries. Better agricultural
information is one of the key factors in understanding current
trends and status that determine food security from ...
The adsorption of Strontium on soils developed in arid region as influenced by clay content and soluble cations
The present work was performed in order to investigate behavior of Sr adsorption in a saline-sodic soil and a
normal soil developed in arid environment in Central Iran.
An efficient sampling protocol for sagebrush/grassland monitoring
developed numerous methods and monitoring techniques
that can be used for vegetation sampling (Barbour et al.
1987). The methods used to position samples (transects,
quadrats, lines, and points) vary and can be classed ...
An Examination of Technical, Economic, Allocative Efficiency and Economic Impacts of Salinity on Livelihoods: The Case of Al-Musayyeb Farms in Iraq
The objective of the study was to investigate how farmers could sustain an economically viable agricultural production on salt affected areas of Al-Musayyeb area in Central Iraq. It aims to assess the impacts of salinity ...
Critical Assessment of Groundwater Management Instruments in Tunisia: Current and potential instruments for better regulation of groundwater extraction
Groundwater is very important in Tunisia, where 43% of water currently used for irrigation is pumped from deep and shallow aquifers. Groundwater resources have been intensively mobilized in many parts of the country since ...
Soil sorption of cesium on calcareous soils of Iran
The adsorption behaviour of Cs on two selected calcareous soils (clay and silty clay loam) with contrasting
physical and chemical characteristics was studied by means of a batch method. Cs sorption characteristic was ...
Evaluation of faba bean accessions under diverse water regimes
Drought is a major limiting factor in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production in the
Mediterranean region, which is known for irregular water distribution and moderate
moisture level (around 500 mm rainfall). The objective ...
