Today, environmental crisis and loss of natural resources are the principle causes of the creation of environmental management systems. The optimal management of natural resources requires the assessment and classification of ecological and environmental potentials. Using this method, the abilities and restrictions of resources can be recognized, and their future trends can be predicted. Nebka ...

Climate changes and global warming are considered as very important challenges of sustainable development. Carbon sequestration is the easiest and cheapest way to reduce the greenhouse gases, especially carbon which constitutes the largest portion of them. In the present study, the potential of carbon sequestration in four plant species of Atriplex canescens, Haloxylon persicum, Artemisia siebe...

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease.

The objective study to evaluate antidiabetic potential Algerian halophyte regulating postprandial hyperglycemia via α-amylase inhibitory activity. For this, methanolic and...

Growth is restricted by both water and phosphorus (P), balancing the relationship between non−structural carbohydrates (NSCs) carbon: nitrogen: (C:N:P) essential for Haloxylon ammodendron to adapt arid habitats. The survival growth strategies of dominant species H. in a desert ecosystem were examined order better serve restoration degraded ecosystems desertification control. Three salt gradient...

Haloxylon ammodendron (C.A.Mey.) Bge. is crucially important for stabilizing sand dunes in the desert area of Junggar Basin and has thus been widely planted oasis–desert ecotone windbreak fixation purposes since 1980s. The spatial distribution structural characteristics plantations three different ages—planted 1983 (36a), 1997 (22a), 2004 (15a)—on southwestern edge Gurbantünggüt Desert were stu...
