A modern classification of pastures in Karakalpak Ustyurt has been developed, which combines 7 pasture types (Anabasis salsa, Salsola arbusculiformis-Anabasis Artemisia terrae-albae-Anabasis Haloxylon ammodendron, Tamarix hispida-T. elongata, Kalidium caspicum, Halocnemum strobilaceum), 2 classes (pastures stratal plains on gray-brown soils and drainless depressions solonchaks) 42 varieties, a ...

Reported researches dealing with either composition or bioactivity of Salsola imbricata are limited. This study was conducted aiming to investigate the phenolic composition of the plant and evaluate its efficacy as male contraceptive. Polyphenols, namely, phenolic acids and flavonoids, were qualitatively and quantitatively analysed by RP-HPLC in the hydrolysed methanol extract using two differe...

Objective To study the cultural differences in moral disengagement, which lends support to attitudes used to justify violence. Methods We carried out classroom surveys of a total of 3122 students in the USA (Houston, TX, and Washington, DC) and in four European countries — Estonia (Tartu), Finland (Helsinki), Romania (Satu Mare) and the Russian Federation (St Petersburg). Data were also taken f...

Halophytes, gypsicoles and serpentinicoles are adapted to specialized edaphic conditions at arid semi-arid regions. These areas possess physical chemical stress factors for all plants. For these plants, one of the most important parameter that provides tolerance is proline accumulation. Proline a water-soluble amino acid generally accumulated under behave like an indicator adaptation plants aga...

Results The data analyzed so far revealed the presence of different pollen and fungal species at both sites. The ratio between the pollen and fungal spores was 1:5. The airborne pollen grains showed quantitative and qualitative differences between the two sites. At FD site, the major pollen grains included Phoenix dactylifera (31%), grass pollen (14%), Atriplex nummularia (12%), Amaranthus viri...

some chemical characteristics of root, shoot and litter of index species such as salsola rigida, artemisia sieberi and stipa barbata commonly used in rangeland development projects were evaluated and compared. chemical properties of soil under and between the above mentioned species were also studied. for this purpose, vegetation types of stipa barbata and artemisia sieberi - salsola rigida wer...
