Winter saline accumulation in the a Bare Aridosols: the example of the bowl of ouargla (northern sahara Algeria)

The soil landscape of the Ouargla basin is dominated mainly by halomorphy and hydromorphy. These phenomena are the consequence of the high salinity in the region. It was a question of identifying the ionic repartition and the formation of salts from the concentrations found in the soil solution under the influence of the winter climate […]

Exotic Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Germplasm Evaluated for High Temperature Tolerance

In current scenario, climate is rapidly changing environment and studies have confirmed that Pakistan is largely vulnerable to environment change. So as face this newly emerged challenge, plant material in bulk is imported every year and tested under different agro-ecological conditions. The prime aim of the present study was to assess of 10 exotic wheat […]

Impact of climatic variations on the growth, yield and quality of different Strawberry varieties

Climate variation disturbs the crop patron, yield and its quality. To study impacts of climate variation an experiment was conducted to study the development, yield and quality reactions of three strawberry assortments under various developing conditions in passage and field condition. Sprinters of three strawberry assortments were developed in various developing conditions stayed for 5 […]

Establishment and diversity assessment of permanent monitoring plots in both natural and plantation forests in Southern Philippines

This study was conducted as an initial endeavor in understanding long-term dynamics and responses of both natural and plantation forests to changes in climate in terms of species diversity, composition and abundance. Grid-based database was made for each type of forest to be used for monitoring and analysis. A total of 111 species with 88 […]

Host range and distribution pattern of Dacus punctatifrons and Helicoverpa armigera : two fruigivorous pests; elucidation of interspecific competition in tomato’s agro-system

With the aims to use the integrated pest management approach to control Dacus punctatifrons and Helicoverpa armigera two pests of tomato, knowledge on their ecological requirements is crucial. Three years survey was done in tomato gardens, orchard, farm and virgin lands to record infested fruits. Collection sites were noted, potential infested fruits were incubated and […]

Use of stress indicators to analyze Lygeum spartum Loefl. ex L. responses to Edapho-climatic conditions in west Mediterranean steppic rangelands: Case in central steppe of Algeria

Lygeum spartum Loefl. ex L., is a perennial spontaneous fodder species present in many steppe of the western Mediterranean basin. Because it can provide relatively high livestock productivity, the plant is proposed for the rehabilitation of the weakened pastures. Knowledge of L. spartum‘s responses to abiotic factors that can be around it, could help for […]

Assessment of production potential of sisal (Agave sisalana) under three watering conditions in Pakistan

Pakistan is a leading cotton producer and provides cotton fiber as only source of thread for the countrymen as well as an export commodity for earning foreign exchange. Extreme biotic and abiotic stress conditions particularly under climate and edaphic changes are hindering the profitable cultivation and harvesting of thread from cotton. To cope with these […]

Quantifying the relationship between impervious surface and urban heat environment in the southeast megalopolis of Vietnam

The impervious surface (IS) in urban area is known as the main component to impact on urban climate as it changes the land surface temperature (LST). It is also a kind of urbanization indicator when the land surface is changed by constructing materials. This paper presents the study on the relationship between LST and IS, […]

Comparative analysis of soil organic carbon storage under different land use and land cover in Achanakmar, Chhattisgarh

In context to the India’s climate pledge and the goal of limiting global warming below 2°C to reduce the emissions intensity of its GDP by 33 to 35 percent by 2030 from 2005 level and to create an additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tons of CO2 equivalent through additional forest and tree […]

A GIS for the characterization and mapping of saline soils in semi-arid areas, case of Oued mina watershed (North West Algeria)

The objective of this work comes in the characterization and mapping of saline soils in the wadi Yellel watershed of (700 km²), the main tributary of the Wadi Mina, drains an area estimated 15 000 ha. It is composed mainly of marls tertiary hence the name “zone of marl. The semi-arid climate of the watershed […]
