Abstract Current study assessed the impact of Lantana camara invasion on native plant diversity in Pothohar region Pakistan. The approach used for was random samplings and comparisons indices [number species (S), abundance (N), richness (R), evenness (J?), Shannon index (H?) Simpson dominance (?)] with two categorical factors i.e., invaded non-invaded (control). Control plots harboured by an av...

The sero-prevalence of brucellosis was investigated among different breeds of cattle and buffaloes in Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT), Rawalpindi and Attock regions of Pakistan. A total of 2330 milk samples (1168 cattle and 1162 buffaloes) were screened for the presence of Brucella abortus antibodies using the milk ring test (MRT). Information related to animal type, urbanicity, sampling area...

The essential oil extracted by n-Hexane solvent extraction and hydro-distillation of Arabian jasmine flowers collected from Pothohar region was analyzed by GC/MS. Concrete oil recovery on fresh petal weight basis was 1.78 g (0.17%) and absolute oil recovery from this concrete was 0.09%. Essential oil recovery in hydro-distillation was 0.08 g (0.008%). The colour of absolute oil was very light b...

The drought along with climate variation has become a serious issue for human society and the ecosystem in arid region like Soan basin (the main source of water resources capital Pakistan Pothohar region). increasing concerns about study area have brought necessity spatiotemporal analysis assessment linkage between different types an early warning system. Hence, streamflow index (SDI) standard ...

The science of hydrological modeling has continuously evolved under the influence rapid advancements in software and hardware technologies. Starting from simple rational formulae for estimating peak discharge developing into sophisticated univariate predictive models, accurate conversion rainfall runoff assessment inherent uncertainty been a prime focus researchers. Therefore, alternative data-...

Agricultural rainfed areas of Pakistan have been facing several issues in recent years, e.g., soil erosion, nutrient runoff, and dependency on rainfall for crop growth. Wheat is considered a major staple Pakistan. The main concern these regions to conserve moisture as the depends obtained by rainfall. Gypsum one best conservers, especially areas. Hence, this study was initiated (1) explore effe...
