the determination of temporal and spatial salinity in tidal rivers is significant in supplying water for agriculture purposes, particularly where there is no controller dam at the downstream. in this research, the coherens model was applied to study the hydraulics of water flow, salinity distribution and transmission at the bahmanshir river. coherens is a 3d multi-purpose hydrodynamic model whi...

In addition to supporting a harvest, the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) in Chesapeake Bay provides ecosystem services such as removing seston, enhancing water clarity and creating benthic habitat. Our objective was to create a flexible ecosystem-based decisionmaking tool to support oyster restoration and management. This Oyster Restoration Optimization model (ORO) incorporates predictio...

The aim of this work was to analyse the response of Rosa rubiginosa to salinity induced by different concentrations of sodium chloride and calcium chloride (0, 25, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mM). Besides salt accumulation and pH changes, other parameters were investigated including photosynthetic activity, leaf water content, the dynamics of necrosis and chlorosis appearance and leaf drying. The stud...

Halophytes are remarkable plants that can tolerate extremely high-salinity conditions, and have different salinity tolerance mechanisms from those of glycophytic plants. In this work, we investigated the mechanisms of salinity tolerance of an extreme halophyte, Kochia sieversiana (Pall.) C. A. M, using RNA sequencing and physiological tests. The results showed that moderate salinity stimulated ...

vetiver grass is known to survive under diverse soil and water conditions. in order to test its potential of salinity and aridity tolerance ability, the effect of salinity and aridity stress on the growth of the vetiveria zizanioides was studied by growing plants in arid soils that receiving salinity stress. the experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, arrangement in a completely randomized de...

current study was carried out with aim to evaluate the effect of pressurized irrigation methods and furrow irrigation method with municipal effluent on distribution of salinity and moisture in the soil profile. the experimental study was designed by split plot layout with three irrigation methods including furrow, surface drip (sd) irrigation and subsurface drip irrigation (ssd) and two water q...

soil and water salinity are the main agricultural problems in arid and semi arid areas in the world and iran. in order to investigate salinity tolerance of kochia, two experiments were conducted in a completely randomized design with four replications, seven levels of salinity (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 ds m-1) and two growth stages (planting and early seedling) with gradually salinity appli...

The salinity budget in a 3-D numerical model of an estuary is analyzed using isohaline surfaces to define the volume of integration. Such surfaces move with the currents, and as a result of turbulent mixing. The isohaline analysis allows us to clarify the processes which create and destroy water in different salinity classes in the estuary. We find that the estuary naturally divides into three ...

germination stage is an important stage of plant growth stage that often is affected by environmental stress including water and salinity stresses including drought and salinity. in order to study germination characteristics of scrophularia striatain water and salinity stress conditions at different temperatures an experiment was conducted. temperatures regimes included 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 an...
