Cotton is a precious commodity that offers raw material to the textile industry. This crop grown in tropical and sub-tropical regions of world. Abiotic stresses exerts negative impact on cotton production, but water scarcity has worst impact. It rising due current situation, which global warming producing decrease precipitation while an increase evapo-transpiration causing agricultural drought....

Abstract. Soil evaporation concerns water and our life support sources, which are important for agriculture or climate change prediction science. A simple instrument based on the nonsteady-state (NSS) technique soil measurement appears suitable. However, because NSS chamber is highly invasive, special care should be provided to correct wind speed influence process. a complex process that involv...

Geospatial methods were used to study the associations of the environmental thermal-hydrological regime with leprosy prevalence in the Oromia and Amhara regions of Ethiopia. Prediction models were developed that indicated leprosy prevalence was related to: (i) long-term normal climate grid data on temperature and moisture balance (rain/potential evapo-transpiration); (ii) satellite surveillance...

doi: 10.7185/geochemlet.1725 The Poll a’Mhuilt Member of the Stoer Group (Torridonian Supergroup) in Scotland has been heralded as a rare window into the ecology of Mesoproterozoic terrestrial environments. Its unusually high molybdenum concentrations and large sulphur isotope fractionations have been used as evidence to suggest that lakes 1.2 billion years ago were better oxygenated and enrich...
