Lichen Endocarpon pusillum is a highly desiccation-tolerant and dominant species in biological soil crusts in arid and semi-arid regions. We report the draft genome sequence of a lichen-forming fungus, E. pusillum strain KoLRILF000583. The draft genome assembly has a size of 37,173,200 bp with a GC content of 49.71%, consisting of 40 scaffolds.

a two-year field experiment was carried out in semi-arid region of southern iran (shiraz), during 2007-2008 and 2009-2010 growing seasons using various mixtures of an early- (cv falat) and a middle-ripening (cv shiraz) winter wheat cultivar to evaluate the beneficial effects of inducing temporal growth heterogeneity on reduction of intra-specific competition during post-anthesis moisture stress...

this research delves into investigating the effects of different soil management practices on soil physical properties, yield and yield’s components of irrigated wheat. this experimental design was administered in the form of the nested testing with three treatments (no tillage, low tillage and conventional tillage) and three replicates in some of the farmlands of chenran township. the results ...

soil is one of the most important natural resources covering a large area of the land surface. soil plays a vital role in biosphere processes, such as energy balance, hydrology, biochemistry, and biological productivity. it supports plants that supply foods, fibers, drugs, and some other human needs. conversely, desert regions include about one third of earth lands and these regions have increa...

Bush encroachment is an increase in woody plant density typically resulting in impenetrable thickets, suppressing palatable grasses and herbs. Moreover, bush encroachment is a globally observed phenomenon. Besides, increasing the density of unpalatable shrubs and trees has reduced the carrying capacity and threatens the sustainability of grazing animal production, especially in arid and semi-ar...

This paper studies how well computable functions can be approximated by their Fourier series. To this end, we equip the space of L-computable functions (computable Lebesgue integrable functions) with a size notion, by introducing L-computable Baire categories. We show that L-computable Baire categories satisfy the following three basic properties. Singleton sets {f} (where f is L-computable) ar...
