The food shortage and the population growth are most challenges facing sustainable development worldwide. Advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), mobile internet can provide realistic solutions to that world. Therefore, this work focuses on new approaches regarding smart farming (SF) from 2019 2021, where illustrates data gathering, transmission, storage, analysis, also, suitable solutions. IoT is one essential pillars in systems, it connects...
Abstract During the last few decades, land use changes have largely affected global warming process through emissions of CO 2 . However, C sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems could contribute to decrease atmospheric rates. Although Mediterranean areas show a high potential for sequestration, only studies been carried out these systems. In this study, we propose methodology assess impact and cover change dynamics on soil organic stocks at different depths. Soil rates are provided types...
Abstract. Soil C sequestration through changes in land use and management is one of the sustainable long-term strategies to mitigate climate change. This research explores quantifies role soil as determinants ability soils store along Mediterranean systems. Detailed studies organic (SOC) dynamics are necessary order identify factors determining fluctuations intensity changes. In this study, SOC contents from different types have been investigated Andalusia (Southern Spain). We used...
Abstract The human‐environmental system in drylands is centered on oases. Despite its extent and socio‐ecological importance, understanding the dynamic changes of global oases their human environmental driving forces imperative for sustainable development under warming. Nevertheless, how they respond to evolving environment are not well established. In this study, three criteria were summarized (i.e., existing dryland climates, surrounded or partially by desert terrain, having a reliable...
The dramatic growth of the world’s population is increasing pressure on natural resources, particularly soil systems. At same time, inappropriate agricultural practices are causing widespread degradation. Improved management resources and identification potential capability soils therefore needed to prevent further land degradation, in dryland areas such as Egypt. Here, we present a case study El-Fayoum depression (Northern Egypt) model map suitability for 12 typical Mediterranean crops. Two...
Water scarcity and suitable irrigation water management in arid regions represent tangible challenges for sustainable agriculture. The current study aimed to apply multivariate analysis develop a simplified quality assessment using principal component (PCA) the agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) technique assess of Bahr Mouise canal El-Sharkia Governorate, Egypt. proposed methods depended on monitored chemical composition (e.g., pH, electrical conductivity (ECiw), Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+,...
There is an urgent need to implement environmentally friendly agriculture management practices achieve the Sustainable Goals for Development (SDGs) of United Nations by 2030. Mediterranean characterized intense and millennia-old tillage as a consequence degraded soil. No-Tillage has been widely examined solution soil degradation but relies more on application herbicides that reduce plant cover, which in turn enhances erosion. However, with weed cover should be researched promote organic...
The development of the agricultural sector is considered backbone sustainable in Egypt. While developing countries world face many challenges regarding food security due to rapid population growth and limited resources, this study aimed assess soils Sidi Barrani Salloum using multivariate analysis determine land capability crop suitability for potential alternative uses, based on principal component (PCA), agglomerative hierarchical cluster (AHC) Almagra model MicroLEIS. In total, 24 soil...
Abstract European policies can be relevant to protect soils under climate change scenarios and therefore preserve the wide variety of functions services provided by soil. The Thematic Strategy for Soil Protection will require member states identify areas risk from various soil threats establish procedures achieve sustainability. Five models Terraza , Cervatana Sierra Raizal Pantanal included in Mediterranean Land Evaluation Information System decision support system packages were used...
Reference evapotranspiration (ET0) is critical in agriculture and irrigation water management, particularly arid semi-arid regions. Our study aimed to develop an accurate efficient model for estimating ET0 using various climatic variables as predictors. This research evaluated two techniques, i.e., stepwise regression artificial neural networks (ANNs), identify the most effective calculating ET0. The models were developed tested based on climate data obtained from whole station of Egypt....
Sewage sludge improves agricultural soil and plant growth, but there are hazards associated with its use, including high metal(loid) contents. An experimental study was conducted under greenhouse conditions to examine the effects of sewage on growth invasive tree Prosopis glandulosa, as well determine phytoremediation capacity. Plants were established grown for seven months along a gradient content. Plant traits, properties, concentrations N, P, K, Cd, Pb, Cu, Ni, Zn, Cr, Co, As, Fe...
Rapid and unplanned urbanisation can lead to altered local climate by increasing land surface temperature (LST), particularly in summer months. This study investigates the Urban Heat Island (UHI) Greater Cairo, Egypt, using remote sensing techniques estimate LST of months over 45 years (1986, 2000, 2017, predicted year 2030). The research objectives steps were, 1- mapped use/ cover (LULC), 2- conducted spatiotemporal analysis LST, with a comparison change across different types, 3- future...
The biochar application can improve the physiochemical properties of both sandy and clayey loam soils is considered a potential adaptation tool toward climate change. Therefore, current study novel in combining water-hyacinth-derived with organic manures as suggested effective way treating soil under arid semiarid conditions. Water hyacinth weeds were slow pyrolyzed at temperature 300 °C, which resulted nonalkaline pH value 6.31, suitable for alkaline soils. A pot experiment was established...

Reclamation and management of saline soil in arid regions fundamentally require more consideration to attain sustainable agriculture. Experiments were conducted at Abo-Kalam Farm, South Sinai, Egypt. Split-split-plot design experiments carried out study the effect treatments on hydrophysical properties, sorghum, cv. ‘Dorado’ plants during summer season. Pea ‘Entsar 3’ cultivated winter season for residual treatments. Organo–mineral amendment (rice straw compost + mineral sulfur different...
Abstract Desertification threatens land integrity, social stability, and sustainable global economic development. Between 1982 2015, 6% of the world's drylands experienced desertification because unsustainable use practices exacerbated by anthropogenic climate change. Despite initiating several regional projects to control actively, United Nations Convention Combat (UNCCD) failed achieve its restoration goals. Therefore, this paper thoroughly examines primary factors contributing...
