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...

Abstract Taxonomy gives great importance to the geographical distribution of plants on surface planet earth, and for this reason, Cain introduced term Areography science that is particularly interested in areas spread world. Therefore, work dealt with an environmental study several sites western Iraq terms type soil biological communities these sites. Samples belonging different families (dicot...

determination of the relationships between soil and plant cover indispensible in the in planning and managementof the arid regions, the aim being to revitalize plant cover, conserve soil and to combat desertification. among factorsaffecting plant cover, particularly in arid and semiarid areas are soil traits. during the present study, the effect ofhaloxylon aphyllum cultivation on soil physioch...

Abstract Haloxylon ammodendron is an excellent windproof and sand-fixing species whose shrubs are widely cultivated in arid desert areas of northwest China but now at risk degradation shrinkage. Using the chlorophyll fluorescence image analysis technique, response photosystem II (PSII) photochemical efficiency non-photochemical quenching capacity to sediment-carrying wind sand-free (both 12 m s...

It is believed that transferring the C4 engine into C3 crops will greatly increase the yields of major C3 crops. Many efforts have been made since the 1960s, but relatively little success has been achieved because C4plant traits, referred to collectively as C4 syndrome, are very complex, and little is known about the genetic mechanisms involved. Unfortunately, there exists no ideal genetic mode...
