Salt affected soils are pervasive in semiarid and arid regions worldwide. Traditionally, soil salinity has been measured via electrical conductivity (EC). This study evaluated the feasibility of using three different methods for prediction surface salinity, namely visible near infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (VisNIR DRS), portable x-ray fluorescence (PXRF) spectrometry, remote sensing (RS). Two saline playas were West Texas, USA featuring 91 74 collected random stratified sampling...
Rapid population expansion has made food security a global concern for humanity, necessitating sustainable assessment of natural resources. Well evaluated and managed soil is one the most significant resources that can assist close gap between supply demand to attain security. A precise land productivity (LP) essential use management. The primary aim this research predict index (LPI) certain locations on Egypt’s northwest coast under current conditions using quality indicators (SQIs)....
Thymbra nabateorum, a plant species from the Lamiaceae family, is endemic to Nabatian region, which spans southern Jordan and northwestern Saudi Arabia. It renowned for its traditional uses rich phytochemical profile. This study aims examine composition of T. nabateorum evaluate biological activities, including antioxidant capacity, cytotoxic effects on cancer cell lines, enzyme inhibition relevant diabetes neurodegenerative diseases. The essential oil (EO) methanol extract were analyzed...
Lithologic discontinuity identification can be arduous and erroneous in instances where distinct morphological differences between parent materials are absent. Often, investigators must wait for laboratory data to help differentiate via physicochemical properties. This study used visible near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (VisNIR DRS) portable X-ray fluorescence (PXRF) spectrometry establishing material differentia more quickly. Ten pedons containing 135 samples were scanned situ...
Due to the rapid growth of population in Egypt and scarcity land water resources, effective management these resources has become a very urgent necessity achieve sustainable agricultural development. Consequently, suitability assessment is an important tool manage appropriately. The objective this study was use geostatistical approach geographical information system (GIS) evaluate for some essential crops Toshka region, Egypt. Soil parameters such as gravel content, soil texture, pH, EC,...
The objectives of this study were to assess the land capability using Storie Index and Cervatana model suitability by LUSET Almagra for some coastal soils in Egypt. Twenty-seven soil profiles dug morphologically described represent all physiographic units. Landsat image, DEM, geological map, field laboratory work used create physiographic-soil map relationship. Based on modified Index, classified into four grades (grade 2, 3, 4 5). these three classes, S2, S3 N. indicated that 4.71 % area is...
The Egyptian Government pays a great attention nowadays to encourage the agricultural investment in Sinai Peninsula. current study focused on wadi Jerafi which is one of most promising areas North Governorate. goal this evaluate land capability classification Wadi basin using two universal software's systems, namely as: MicroLEIS DSS (Cervatana Model) as semi-quantitative approach and Revised Storie Index parametric approach. Accordingly, grid soil survey was done through total 137 profiles....
Phytogeographic transition zones are often considered areas rich in biodiversity due to their ecological and landscape diversity. This study constitutes the first floristic investigation of Sharaan Natural Reserve (SNR) located northwest KSA, which is supposed be a phytogeographic zone its location between central country dominated by Saharo-Arabic flora northern characterized Mediterranean Irano-Turanian affinities. The studies carried out vegetation season from 2022 2024 led identification...
Land suitability measures the land performance for cultivated crops based on soil qualities.The current study is to evaluate of an area under rainfed agriculture system that depended mainly harvesting seasonal rainfall.An integrated approach combined Use Suitability Evaluation Tool (LUSET) with local farmer expertise and knowledge was used.Based knowledge, three classes landform priorities were proposed selected crops; watermelon, barley, wheat, olive, fig, pomegranate, almond.These named as...
Assessing the soil hydropedological processes play a significant role for watershed management. Many models can be used such processes. Wadi El Raml is one of main wadis extended from Fuka to Libyan-Egyptian border in Northwestern Coast Egypt (NWCE). The problem this area that most rainfall water with sediments runs off Mediterranean Sea which makes it challenge save and water. Hydropedological study were utilized estimate surface runoff, infiltration, sediment yields based on multiple...
