Soil organic carbon accumulation in Cactus pear as affected by soil volume
The impact of soil volume availability on soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation rate in Cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) in Muchaqqar station in Jordan . In April 2014, 1 year old cactus cladodes were planted in five ...
Drought Stress and Rhizobium Nodules Interactions in chickpea
Two hundred four genotypes of chickpea were assessed for various nodule characteristics and morphological traits under two environments, irrigated (well watered) and rain-fed (water stress). The field experiment was conducted ...
Social Stabilization through Comprehensive Agricultural Support for Refugee Host Communities in Lebanon: Rainfed Agriculture
This poster made for workshop 1 "Improving agriculture and water productivity" under "Social Stabilization through Comprehensive Agricultural Support for Refugee Host Communities in Lebanon" project
Investigating root system architectural traits in durum wheat to improve adaptation to drought and crown rot conditions
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum) producers can experience significant yield and grain losses due to crown rot (CR) disease, caused primarily by a fungal pathogen Fusarium pseudograminearum. Losses due to CR ...
International Cooperative Development of Techniques for Sustainability when Managing and Restoring Degraded Rangelands
In the United States 20% of privately owned rangelands are vulnerable to accelerated soil loss. Estimated annual costs of direct and indirect damage caused by soil erosion in the United States is $27 billion dollars. ...
Assessing the impact of livestock grazing on vegetation dynamics of the Jordanian Badia
The major drivers leading to rangeland degradation include overgrazing, climate change and encroachment of rain fed agriculture. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the response of vegetation characteristics to ...
Land Degradation Risk Assessment for Sustainable Rangeland Restoration in Jordan
Rangeland Hydrology and Erosion Model (RHEM) was used to explore three different rangeland states’ implications on water and soil fluxes. The estimated baseline (A), based on literature review and community questionnaire, ...
Social Stabilization through Comprehensive Agricultural Support for Refugee Host Communities in Lebanon: Irrigated Agriculture

Optimization of planting time and population density for short duration lentil
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is a major food legume crop grown in rotation with cereal crops in South Asia, West Asia and North Africa (WANA), and Sub-Saharan Africa regions. In WANA region, lentil is also grown in spring ...
Exploring the Jordanian rangeland status transition merging the restoration experiment with modeling
Due to recurring droughts and severe overgrazing, Jordan’s dry rangelands are exceptionally prone to degradation. Establishing both restoration and sustainable rangeland management practices are crucial to reverse the ...
