Status and efforts of conservation on biodiversity of inland waters in Indonesia: A review
Based on the distribution of the world biodiversity, Indonesia is often called mega-biodiversity region, i.e. a region with the highest biodiversity in the world. Constituting just 13 percent of the world’s total land area, Indonesia is home to 17 percent of all species on the planet, comprising at least 35,000-40,000 plant species (11-15 percent), 707 […]
Identification of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) genotypes for salt tolerance during emergence
Salinity in soil or water is one of the major stresses that affect crop production around the world. In Bangladesh the coastal areas are increasing day by day due to climate change. Therefore it is very important to investigate the mechanisms of salt tolerance. That is why, this study was undertaken to investigate the effect […]
Evaluations morphological, physiological and biochemical of three tomato varieties (Lycopersicum esculentum) under salt stress at the University Jean Lorougnon Guede (Côte d’Ivoire)
Tomato, Lycopersicom esculentum Mill is a glycophyte plant, sensitive to salinity. However, the accentuated climate change causes abiotic (salinity) and biotic stress reducing plants production. Methodology: To better tame these plants, it is important to understand the mechanisms revealed during stress. Indeed, four concentrations of NaCl (0, 2, 4 and 6 g/L) were applied to […]
Variation of Climatic Parameters (Rainfall and Temperature) over Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna River Basin in Bangladesh
Bangladesh is vulnerable to third order impact of climate change, due to its geographical position, over population and economic condition. The research aimed to focus on the variation of rainfall and temperature over an area of agricultural importance zone of GBM (Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna) delta system in Bangladesh. Arc GIS 10.1 software (spatial analyst tool) was used […]
Carbon Sequestration Potential of Fruit Tree Plantations in Southern Philippines
Global warming is recently considered a major concern worldwide due to massive emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Trees are seen as one of the mitigating measures of this problem due to its role in carbon sequestration. This study is aimed to assess the carbon sequestration potentials of 15-year-old Mango (Mangifera indica Linn.), 12-year-old […]
Carbon stock assessment of three different forest covers in Panaon, Misamis Occidental, Philippines
Carbon pools play significant roles in reducing the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is one of the identified greenhouse gases. For climate change monitoring schemes, studies on C sinks are being conducted to estimate the global C stock inventories. In this study, non-destructive method was used (except for the vegetation) to assess the C […]
Dytiscidae, Noteridae and Hydrophilidae of semi-arid rivers and reservoirs of Burkina Faso: species inventory, diversity and ecological notes
Conservation of biodiversity is a major concern due to climate change and pressure from human activities. Knowledge of aquatic insects and their ecology particularly in West Africa is still scanty and fragmented. To fill this gap, we investigated the structure of aquatic beetle assemblages from 18 lentic and lotic water bodies (rivers and reservoirs) in […]
Consequences of Habitat Loss and Habitat Fragmentation on the Survival of Monitor Lizard Populations in Bangladesh: A Review and Prospectus
The ecosystems of Bangladesh support three different monitor lizard’s species (Varanus bengalensis, V. flavescens and V. salvator). But, these huge populations are in great threats from habitat loss and fragmentation point of view. Nonetheless, maximum research studies have not given clear insights into their population-level implications. There is an obvious need to explore the mechanisms […]
Estimating stored carbon stock in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) plantation by age group in PT daria dharma pratama plantation Bengkulu Indonesia
The increasing concentration of carbon in the atmosphere is a serious environmental problem that can affect living system on earth. The increase in greenhouse gas emissions caused global warming that will affect the world climate change and rising sea levels. Climate change will disrupt farming system in both the micro and macro scale. Estimation of […]
Vegetation Ecology in China- A review
China being third country in extensive biodiversity is the home of almost all types of ecosystems. Grasslands and forests are major source of carbon. Ecosystem services in China contribute 2.71% to that of world. But due to anthropogenic activities and climate changes, vegetation distribution is going to be badly affected. Major factors affecting the Chinese […]
