Abstract Urban waterlogging frequently occurs in semi-humid areas due to the short duration of heavy rainfall summer and high rates subsurface hardening caused by high-intensity urban development. To solve problem waterlogging, China has launched construction ‘sponge cities’ made some progress, but there is still a lack comprehensive consideration functional types spatial layout low impact deve...

Abstract Successful restoration of riparian habitats and functions depends in part on selection plant species that are suited to local geomorphic climatic conditions, which often relies contemporary reference sites characterize target vegetation communities. In heavily modified landscapes, a lack undisturbed hinders the description conditions help guide planning efforts. lieu sites, we used his...

Solar radiation is an important input for various land-surface energy balance models. Global solar radiation data retrieved from the Japanese Geostationary Meteorological Satellite 5 (GMS-5)/Visible and Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer (VISSR) has been widely used in recent years. However, due to the impact of clouds, aerosols, solar elevation angle and bidirectional reflection, spatial or tempora...

In China, the ridge-furrow water conservation planting (RC) system is advantageous for improving crop yields and rainwater use efficiency. In RC planting system, plastic film-mulched ridges are employed for water harvesting while the furrows serve as infiltration and planting belts. To optimize the RC system and to overcome problems due to the lack of water in semi-humid areas at risk of drough...

This research was focused on a production potential of cup plant Silphium perfoliatum L. grown in marginal heavy soils with the following intensity mineral nutrition: (i) intensive 245.0 kg/ha NPK, (ii) semi-intensive 122.5 NPK and (iii) untreated control 0.0 NPK. The large-scale pilot field experiments ÓVÁRI-ÓRIÁS cultivar were carried out 2 sites under semi-humid to humid Central European tem...

background: algeria is among the most affected mediterranean countries by leishmaniasis due to its large geo­graphic extent and climatic diversity. the current study aimed to determine the ecological status (composition and diversity) of phlebotomine sandfly populations in the region of oum el bouaghi (northeast algeria). methods: an entomological survey was conducted during the period may–octo...
