Wild jujube, Ziziphus lotus, is a multipurpose xerophytic shrub of the Rhamnaceae family widely distributed in arid and semi-arid regions of Tunisia, where it occupies most soil types. The fruit is the edible part of the plant by local population. The reintroduction of this shrub requires the control of its multiplication in response to water shortage. This study aims to evaluate growth and wat...

Abstract A previous study on the feeding habits of Moorish tortoises in west-central Morocco suggests that these animals are selective herbivores, but nutritional consequences have not been examined. Because potassium excretion load, which requires water and/or nitrogen loss, we predicted do salt glands. prefer plants rich and protein low (PEP index). To this end, studied spring diet adult an a...

There is a growing demand for accurate high-resolution land cover maps in many fields, e.g., in land-use planning and biodiversity conservation. Developing such maps has been performed using Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) methods, which usually reach good accuracies, but require a high human supervision and the best configuration for one image can hardly be extrapolated to a different image...
