Grasslands in 'Old World' and 'New World' Mediterranean-climate zones: past trends, current status and future research priorities
Despite their ecological, economic and social importance,
grasslands in areas with Mediterranean climates
continue to receive limited scientific, political and
media attention. The main objectives of this review
are to ...
Silvopastoral Systems and Climate Change Mitigation in Central Tunisia
The work is presented in North American Agroforestry conference: Agroforestry for sustainable Production and Resilience Landscape. 16th AFTA Biennial Conference on June 24-27, 2019 at Oregon State University in Corvallis, ...
Yield and nutritive quality of Hedysarum coronarium across three different agro-climatic zones of northern Tunisia
Sulla (Hedysarum coronarium L.) is commonly included in the cropping system as a short-rotation forage crop (one to three years) in northern Tunisia. Thus, this study compared DM production and nutritive value of sulla ...
Community Participation Towards Silvopastoral Restoration
The successful establishment and management of silvopastoral systems has the potential to provide multiple ecosystem services and outputs for rural communities. For these systems to be sustainable, the participation of ...
Silvopastoral Systems and Climate Change Mitigation in Central Tunisia
Livestock farming is part of rural community’s culture and is crucial for human well-being and livelihood. However, absence of desirable forages, lack of diversification and reduced livestock mobility have led to reduced ...
The status of forage production in Afghanistan
This paper presents an overview of forages and feed resources in Afghanistan with a particular emphasis on crop-livestock production systems, forage resources and their utilization and conservation, forage seed production, ...
Screening for Cold Tolerant Cactus Species (Opuntia ficus-indica) for West Asia Region
The identification of the cold tolerant Opuntia species to increase their
cultivation in West Asia region where the cold winter conditions limit their
adaptation is the primary yet the most critical step. The International ...
The effect of soil volume on the growth of roots and canopy of Opuntia ficus-indica
Proceeding paper on The effect of soil volume on the growth of roots and canopy of Opuntia ficus-indica: The influence of soil volume on root development and canopy growth rates of cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) was ...
Impacts of bracteole removal and seeding rate on seedling emergence of halophyte shrubs: implications for rangeland rehabilitation in arid environments
Direct seeding techniques often result in unsatisfactory outcomes in rangeland rehabilitation, primarily because of low seedling emergence and poor establishment. Seed processing techniques aimed at improving seedling ...
Evaluation of deficit irrigation for efficient sheep production from permanent sown pastures in a dry continental climate
Deficit irrigation can be a useful management tool to increase water productivity of forage and sheep
production from pastures in water deprived areas of the world. A three year study compared sheep
production from permanent ...
