Localised and regional patterns in ground-dwelling beetle assemblages in a semi-tropical arid zone environment

Groundwater level fluctuation forecasting Using Artificial Neural Network in Arid and Semi-Arid Environment

In arid and semi-arid environments, groundwater plays a significant role in the ecosystem. In the last decades, groundwater levels have decreased due to the increasing demand for water, weak irrigation management and soil damage. For the effective management of groundwater, it is important to model and predict fluctuations in groundwater levels. In this study, groundwater table in Kashan plain ...

Soil water regime and water concervation efficiency in a non-irrigated semi-arid environment

Runoff and sediment yield modeling using WEPP in a semi-arid environment (Case study: Orazan Watershed)

Water erosion is a major environmental problem in many parts of the world. Majority of semi-arid countries are concerned because of their specific climate and soils sensitivity, but also because of the recent intensification of human activities and agricultural practices. Accurate estimation of water erosion for various land-use and climate scenarios is so an important key to define sustainable...

Zooplankton assemblages in eutrophic reservoirs of the Brazilian semi-arid.

Species composition, density, and temporal dynamics of zooplankton were studied in six reservoirs in a semi-arid region in tropical northeastern Brazil (Rio Grande do Norte state). All the reservoirs are highly eutrophic, with high contents of total nitrogen (minimum of 1200 µg.L(-1)) and total phosphorus (minimum of 10 µg.L(-1)), and extremely high algal biomass was registered (surpassing 20 µ...

extraction of soil salinity zone in arid and semi arid regional using of remote sensing data (case study: darab township)

introduction soil salinity and expansion tts it, in the arid and semi-arid areas is including environmental issues that in recent years attention has been due to population growth and the need to utilizeland. in order to human was tried that using of different techniques determined salinity area between remote sensing data in recent years have provided relatively accurate results as a source of...
