In these subsistence-oriented, semi-arid production systems the environment is marginal for crop growth and often there is no substitute for millet crops. Across communities, farmers grow 13 different combinations of pearl millet, sorghum, finger millet, little millet, and foxtail millet varieties, but individual farmers grow an average of only 2–3 millet varieties per season. The “village seed system” in this study refers to all channels through which farmers acquire genetic materials, separate from or in interaction with the commercial seed industry, observed at the local level. Data are compiled through household surveys and interviews with traders and dealers in village and district markets. Based on the concept of the seed lot, several seed system parameters are defined and measured by millet crop. Most seed transactions, including gifts of seed, appear to be monetized. Seed supply channels differ by improvement status of the genetic material. Regression results confirm that seed system parameters are statistically significant determinants of the spatial diversity of millet crops measured at the village level. Furthermore, both the trade through weekly village markets (shandies) and through the formal seed supply channel contribute positively to the breadth of genetic materials in these communities. Ways should be found to strengthen and improve the overall efficiency of the seed system, including both formal and informal channels, in order to reduce the costs to farmers of procuring and managing diverse crop varieties.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/6968854" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="85a2f2a71ca3a4168617024fc854453a" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":48649535,"asset_id":6968854,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/48649535/download_file?st=MTczMjc4Mzk1Myw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="11812979" href="https://independent.academia.edu/lnagarajan">latha nagarajan</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="11812979" type="text/json">{"id":11812979,"first_name":"latha","last_name":"nagarajan","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"lnagarajan","display_name":"latha nagarajan","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/lnagarajan?f_ri=7381","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_6968854 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="6968854"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 6968854, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_6968854", });

It aims (i) the identification of desert truffle species with a morphometric characterization, (ii) the determination of their geographical distribution, and (iii) the description of the edaphic, climatic and geomorphological characteristics of their natural habitat. The harvest of 78 truffle fruiting bodies from seven different locations resulted in the identification of three species of the family Terfeziaceae: Terfezia arenaria (Moris) Trappe, Terfezia claveryi Chatin and Tirmania nivea (Desf) Trappe. These hypogeous ascomycetes live in mycorrhizal association with Helianthemum lippii (Cistaceae). Desert truffles grow in heterogeneous soils of sandy texture, moderately calcareous (10.19 ± 1.37%), slightly alkaline (7.87 ± 0.22), with low organic matter (0.86 ± 0.1%) and slight phosphorus contents. The development of desert truffles is closely linked with high rainfall amount occuring during the fall season and/or winter. The truffles colonize desert depressions "Dayas" and beds of Wadis, since these geomorphological zones accumulate rainwater, which promotes the development of both truffles and its host–plant.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/5049912" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="4d71a4ee85820b6e0c78a8dcc712919d" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":38872473,"asset_id":5049912,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/38872473/download_file?st=MTczMjc4Mzk1Myw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="9670285" href="https://independent.academia.edu/Ly%C3%A8sBradai">Lyès Bradai</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="9670285" type="text/json">{"id":9670285,"first_name":"Lyès","last_name":"Bradai","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"LyèsBradai","display_name":"Lyès Bradai","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/Ly%C3%A8sBradai?f_ri=7381","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/9670285/3860399/4516158/s65_ly_s.bradai.jpg"}</script></span></span><span class="u-displayInlineBlock InlineList-item-text"> and <span class="u-textDecorationUnderline u-clickable InlineList-item-text js-work-more-authors-5049912">+1</span><div class="hidden js-additional-users-5049912"><div><span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="https://univ-oeb.academia.edu/HarounChenchouni">Haroun Chenchouni</a></span></div></div></span><script>(function(){ var popoverSettings = { el: $('.js-work-more-authors-5049912'), placement: 'bottom', hide_delay: 200, html: true, content: function(){ return $('.js-additional-users-5049912').html();

لانتاج اصناف عالية الانتاجية وذات مواصفات ممتازة.<br />كما يجب الاهتمام بعمليات التسميد والرى للوصول لأعلى محصول, مما يساهم فى انتشار زراعة الجوجوبا وتحقيق التنمية الزراعية المستدامة فى المناطق المهمشة.<br />كما أن زراعة الجوجوبا فى المناطق القاحلة لها العديد من الفوائد البيئة مثل تقليل نسبة ثانى اكسيد الكربون فى الجو وزيادة الرطوبة وتغيير تدريجى للمناخ فى هذه المناطق وتشجيع الحيوانات

الأن من الجوجوبا, فيجب الاهتمام باستعمال طرق التكاثر الخضرى وانتخاب سلالات ذات مواصفات جيدة لكل منطقة جغرافية, والاهتمام ببرامج التربية لانتاج اصناف عالية الانتاجية وذات مواصفات ممتازة.\nكما يجب الاهتمام بعمليات التسميد والرى للوصول لأعلى محصول, مما يساهم فى انتشار زراعة الجوجوبا وتحقيق التنمية الزراعية المستدامة فى المناطق المهمشة.\nكما أن زراعة الجوجوبا فى المناطق القاحلة لها العديد من الفوائد البيئة مثل تقليل نسبة ثانى اكسيد الكربون فى الجو وزيادة الرطوبة وتغيير تدريجى للمناخ فى هذه المناطق وتشجيع الحيوانات والطيور البرية المختلفة على الاستيطان فى هذه المناطق

The waterbody is free of submerged plants. The plant life forms, structure and physiognomy of vegetation were determined. In addition, vegetation-land-cover was mapped to illustrate seasonal distribution of dominant plant species. Geostatistics on areas covered by vegetation and its seasonal dynamics were obtained and then discussed. The most common plant life forms were chamaephytes (53.8%) and therophytes (23.1%), which characterize desert vegetation that has low recovery and low height. Furthermore, vegetation mapping revealed the existence of 3 types of vegetation: (i) halophytic vegetation represented mainly by Chenopodiaceae species, which were extended all around the edges of the waterbody; (ii) hydrophytic vegetation represented mainly by Phragmites communis and Juncus maritimus, and (iii) sparse vegetation represented by Limoniastrum guyonianum and Triganum nudatum.

الصحـراءُ، وتعرَّضت التربةُ في المَناطق الجَافّة والقاحِلة إلى التدهورِ في بنيَتها وخواصها الفيزيَائيَّة والكيميائيَّة، مِمَّا أدَّى إلى فُقدانِ الحيَاة النباتيَّة والتنوّع الحيَوي بها، وبالتالي عَدَم قُدرة التربة على الإنتاجِ الزراعي ودَعم الحيَاة الحيوانيَّة والبَشريَّة، وهـو مَـا يُعـرف بالتصحُّـرِ، تلك المُشكلة التي تحوَّلت إلى خَطرٍ أصبح يُهَدِّدُ كَثيرٌ مِنْ دولِ العَالَم، الغَنيَّة والفَقيرة

والبيئيَّة في المَناطق الجَافّة والقاحِلة. <br />ويَتضمَّنُ هَذا الكتابُ سبعة فصول، عَرَضَ الفصلُ الأول تعريفات الجَفَاف وأنواعه، واختصَّ الفصلُ الثاني بتحديدِ الجَفاف وتصنيفه وتوزيعه، واهتمَّ الفصلُ الثالث بأسبابِ الجَفاف والقحولة والتوزيع الجُغرافي، في حين دَرَسَ الفصلُ الرابع المَلامح الجيومورفولوجيَّة في الأقاليم الجَافّة والقَاحِلة، بَيْنما تناولَ الفصلُ الخامس السمَات المُناخيَّة ومَوارد الميَاه في الأقاليمِ الجَافّة والقَاحِلة. <br />وجَاء الفصلُ السادس لإلقاءِ الضوْءِ على البيئةِ الحيَويَّة في الأقاليمِ الجَافّة والقَاحِلة. أمَّـا الفصلُ الأخيـر فكانَ لِدراسةِ الأنشطة الاقتصاديَّة وطُرق التنمية ومُواجهة المُشكلات في الأقاليمِ الجَافّة والقَاحِلة. <br />ولَعَـلَّ الكتابُ يَكونُ بهذا قد اقتربَ مِنْ الإحَاطةِ بمُعظمِ المُوضوعات المُختلفة لِمُقرَّرِ "جُغرافيَة الأراضي الجَافّة". وقد حَرِصَ المُؤلِّفَان على أن تكونَ المَادةُ العِلْميَّةُ مُدَعَمَّةً بالبيانات والخرائطِ والأشكالِ والتوضيحيَّة والمَرئيَّات الفضائيَّة والصور الفوتوغرافيَّة؛ كإحدى الوسائل المُساعدة في سهولة توصيل

الجَفافُ مِنْ أهمِّ المُشكلات والأخطَار التي تواجه كَثيرٌ مِنْ الدولِ، وبصفةٍ خَاصةٍ الدول الفقيرة؛ لِعَدمِ قُدرتها الاقتصاديَّة والعِلْميَّة على المواجهةِ. وتُعَدُّ دول إقليم الساحل الأفريقي مِنْ أكثرِ دول العَالَم مُعَاناةً مِنْ كَثرةِ تِكرار مَوْجَات الجَفاف القاتِلة بهـا، مُنذُ سِتينيَّات القَرن العَشرين.\r\nومَع التغيُّرات المُناخيَّة زادت رُقعة الأراضي التي زَحَفَت عليها الصحـراءُ، وتعرَّضت التربةُ في المَناطق الجَافّة والقاحِلة إلى التدهورِ في بنيَتها وخواصها الفيزيَائيَّة والكيميائيَّة، مِمَّا أدَّى إلى فُقدانِ الحيَاة النباتيَّة والتنوّع الحيَوي بها، وبالتالي عَدَم قُدرة التربة على الإنتاجِ الزراعي ودَعم الحيَاة الحيوانيَّة والبَشريَّة، وهـو مَـا يُعـرف بالتصحُّـرِ، تلك المُشكلة التي تحوَّلت إلى خَطرٍ أصبح يُهَدِّدُ كَثيرٌ مِنْ دولِ العَالَم، الغَنيَّة والفَقيرة عَلَى

المَناطق الجَافّة والقاحِلة.\r\nويَتضمَّنُ هَذا الكتابُ سبعة فصول، عَرَضَ الفصلُ الأول تعريفات الجَفَاف وأنواعه، واختصَّ الفصلُ الثاني بتحديدِ الجَفاف وتصنيفه وتوزيعه، واهتمَّ الفصلُ الثالث بأسبابِ الجَفاف والقحولة والتوزيع الجُغرافي، في حين دَرَسَ الفصلُ الرابع المَلامح الجيومورفولوجيَّة في الأقاليم الجَافّة والقَاحِلة، بَيْنما تناولَ الفصلُ الخامس السمَات المُناخيَّة ومَوارد الميَاه في الأقاليمِ الجَافّة والقَاحِلة.\r\nوجَاء الفصلُ السادس لإلقاءِ الضوْءِ على البيئةِ الحيَويَّة في الأقاليمِ الجَافّة والقَاحِلة. أمَّـا الفصلُ الأخيـر فكانَ لِدراسةِ الأنشطة الاقتصاديَّة وطُرق التنمية ومُواجهة المُشكلات في الأقاليمِ الجَافّة والقَاحِلة.\r\nولَعَـلَّ الكتابُ يَكونُ بهذا قد اقتربَ مِنْ الإحَاطةِ بمُعظمِ المُوضوعات المُختلفة لِمُقرَّرِ \"جُغرافيَة الأراضي الجَافّة\". وقد حَرِصَ

as I argue, the landscape in interaction with humans which the historian is concerned with. The discourse on state sponsored water management only begins with British intervention in the field. This paper attempts to fill in such thematic lacunae by elucidating the case of Mehrangarh, the fifteenth century fort of Jodhpur.

Colonial and post-colonial political governance and economic models have broken down traditional mechanisms for coping with ecological stress. An archaeological example from the Chalbi Desert is presented as evidence of longue-durée persistence of human occupations through extreme climatic fluctuations. Occupations spanning from ca. 5000 to 600 years BP indicate the presence of robust regional exchange networks and either continuous or repeated occupation of this hot, dry, mosaic woodland. These systems are contrasted against the extrinsically imposed models that began in the late 1800s with the arrival of colonialism in which political economies are more focused on ethnic-territorial and global interests rather than regional cooperation. A long-term ecological model on how traditional systems evolved to cope with vulnerability associated with extreme climate conditions is needed to build resilient communities.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/39404366" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="dbcd6af74d44ba5266ed15e1d4271c4d" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":59548792,"asset_id":39404366,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/59548792/download_file?st=MTczMjc4Mzk1NCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="3305759" href="https://uio.academia.edu/DavidWright">David Wright</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="3305759" type="text/json">{"id":3305759,"first_name":"David","last_name":"Wright","domain_name":"uio","page_name":"DavidWright","display_name":"David Wright","profile_url":"https://uio.academia.edu/DavidWright?f_ri=7381","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/3305759/1101317/1373380/s65_david.wright.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_39404366 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="39404366"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 39404366, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_39404366", });

Until recently, catalogues of sites collected by Westerners in the 1920s and 1930s comprised the body of English-language publications on Gobi Desert prehistory. This article introduces a wealth of new site-specific and interpretive data, drawing on English-language sources as well as Russian-and Mongolian-language publications to create a synthesis for the prehistory of the Gobi Desert from the end of the Last Glacial Maximum to the adoption of herding. Special emphasis is placed on the relationship between a major shift in desert ecosystems, comparable to the 'greening of the Sahara', the establishment of an oasis-based broad-spectrum foraging strategy, and progressive desertification and deforestation after 2000 BC. We conclude that an oasis-based adaptation was contemporaneous with the expansion of forests and wetlands and persisted throughout the early stages of herding. A major decline in these economies occurs after 1000 BC, in conjunction with continuing trends towards heightened aridity and major societal changes across Northeast Asia. The persistent coexistence of Bronze Age burials and microblade-based habitation sites around oases, as well as similarities in material culture, suggest that these groups overlapped geographically or were the same entity.<br /><br />Товчлол: Монгол болон Умард Хятадын говь, говь хээрийн бүс нутаг нь газарзүйн хувьд мал аж ахуй болон түүнд суурилсан нүүдэлчдийн төрт улсууд бүрэлдэн бий болоход нөлөөлсөн чухал бүс нутаг юм.

Харин энэхүү өгүүлэл нь сүүлийн жилүүдэд тухайн бүс нутагт хийгдсэн монгол, англи, орос хэл дээрх археологийн судалгааны эх хэрэглэгдэхүүнд тулгуурлан мөстлөгийн сүүл үеэс мал аж ахуйн үүсэл хүртэлх үеийн говь нутгийн түүхийн өмнөх үеийн асуудлуудыг нэгтгэн дүгнэсэн юм.<br /><br />Мөн зохиогчид өнөөгийн “Сахаарын цөлийн ногоорол” хэмээх үзэгдэлтэй жишиж болохуйц эртний экосистемийн томоохон өөрчлөлт, хүмүүсийн “Баянбүрд” түшиглэсэн амьдралын хэв маяг болон НТӨ 2000 оноос хурдацтайгаар явагдаж эхэлсэн цөлжилт гэх зэрэгт онцгой анхаарал хандуулан тэдгээрийн хоорондын уялдаа холбоог судалсан байна.<br /><br />Эртний хүмүүсийн баянбүрд түшиглэсэн амьдралын хэв маяг нь ойн болон чийглэг хөрст бүс тэлэн өргөжсөнтэй нэг цаг хугацаанд явагдаж мал аж ахуйн хөгжлийн эхний үе шат хүртэл үргэлжилсэн хэмээн зохиогчид үзжээ. Харин энэхүү амьдралын хэв маяг нь Зүүн хойд Азийг хамарсан хэт хуурайшилт болон тухайн үеийн нийгмийн бүтцэд томоохон өөрчлөлт гарч эхэлсэн зэрэг шалтгааны улмаас НТӨ 1000 оноос хойш аажмаар хумигдаж эхэлсэн байна.

Until recently, catalogues of sites collected by Westerners in the 1920s and 1930s comprised the body of English-language publications on Gobi Desert prehistory. This article introduces a wealth of new site-specific and interpretive data, drawing on English-language sources as well as Russian-and Mongolian-language publications to create a synthesis for the prehistory of the Gobi Desert from the end of the Last Glacial Maximum to the adoption of herding. Special emphasis is placed on the relationship between a major shift in desert ecosystems, comparable to the 'greening of the Sahara', the establishment of an oasis-based broad-spectrum foraging strategy, and progressive desertification and deforestation after 2000 BC. We conclude that an oasis-based adaptation was contemporaneous with the expansion of forests and wetlands and persisted throughout the early stages of herding. A major decline in these economies occurs after 1000 BC, in conjunction with continuing trends towards heightened aridity and major societal changes across Northeast Asia. The persistent coexistence of Bronze Age burials and microblade-based habitation sites around oases, as well as similarities in material culture, suggest that these groups overlapped geographically or were the same entity.\n\nТовчлол: Монгол болон Умард Хятадын говь, говь хээрийн бүс нутаг нь газарзүйн хувьд мал аж ахуй болон түүнд суурилсан нүүдэлчдийн төрт улсууд бүрэлдэн бий болоход нөлөөлсөн чухал бүс нутаг юм.

in the Irano-Anatolian region of Southwest Asia as quickly as they did in the Levantine Mediterranean littoral, despite the fact that climatic improvement occurred broadly at the same time in both regions. Prehistoric impacts on woodland vegetation (such as woodcutting, burning and clearance for cultivation), the harsh continental climate of inland Southwest Asia and its distance from late Pleistocene arboreal refugia have all been discussed in the literature as likely causes of the delay. In this paper we argue that semi-arid deciduous oak woodlands should not be viewed as part of the “natural” vegetation of the Irano-Anatolian region that has been progressively destroyed by millennia of human activities since the Neolithic. They represent instead one of the earliest anthropogenic vegetation types in Southwest Asia, one that owes its very existence to prehistoric landscape practices other scholars commonly label as “destructive”. Drawing on anthracological, pollen and modern vegetation data from central Anatolia we describe how the post-Pleistocene species-rich and structurally diverse temperate semi-arid savanna grasslands were gradually substituted by low-diversity, even-aged Quercus-dominated parklands and wood pastures in the course of the early Holocene. Economic strategies that encouraged the establishment and spread of deciduous oaks included sheep herding that impacted on grass and forb vegetation, the controlling of competing arboreal vegetation through woodcutting, and woodland management practices such as coppicing, pollarding and shredding that enhanced Quercus vegetative propagation, crown and stem growth. Understanding the origin and evolution of the Irano-Anatolian semi-arid oak woodlands of Southwest Asia is of critical importance for reconstructing the changing ecologies and geographical distributions of the progenitors of domesticated crop species, and the nature and scale of early agricultural impacts on the landscape.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/8690277" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="fa1e1b1e54917a611b42d73169e0962c" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":35045076,"asset_id":8690277,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/35045076/download_file?st=MTczMjc4Mzk1NCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="707375" href="https://liverpool.academia.edu/EleniAsouti">Eleni Asouti</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="707375" type="text/json">{"id":707375,"first_name":"Eleni","last_name":"Asouti","domain_name":"liverpool","page_name":"EleniAsouti","display_name":"Eleni Asouti","profile_url":"https://liverpool.academia.edu/EleniAsouti?f_ri=7381","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/707375/238937/41429391/s65_eleni.asouti.jpg"}</script></span></span><span class="u-displayInlineBlock InlineList-item-text"> and <span class="u-textDecorationUnderline u-clickable InlineList-item-text js-work-more-authors-8690277">+1</span><div class="hidden js-additional-users-8690277"><div><span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="https://ualg.academia.edu/CerenKabukcu">Ceren Kabukcu</a></span></div></div></span><script>(function(){ var popoverSettings = { el: $('.js-work-more-authors-8690277'), placement: 'bottom', hide_delay: 200, html: true, content: function(){ return $('.js-additional-users-8690277').html();

Anthracological remains (the carbonized residues of wood fuel use found in archaeological habitation sites) provide an alternative source of information about past vegetation. This paper discusses new and previously available anthracological datasets retrieved from excavated habitation sites in the southern Levant dating to the Pre- Pottery Neolithic (PPN) period. The available evidence indicates the existence of distinct arboreal floras growing in different ecological niches, which occupied areas that today are either treeless or very sparsely wooded. The anthracological data provide independent confirmation of the hypothesis that early Holocene climate in the southern Levant was significantly moister than at present. Clear North–South and East–West precipitation and associated woodland composition gradients are evidenced. Far from deducing widespread anthropogenic degradation of the regional vegetation, it is suggested that woodland expansion in the semi-arid interiors of the Levant may be attributed to the intensive management of Pistacia woodlands for food, fuel and pasture.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/13550543" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="7be3dbeb3b7deae14015df3357d01f46" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":40226619,"asset_id":13550543,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/40226619/download_file?st=MTczMjc4Mzk1NCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="707375" href="https://liverpool.academia.edu/EleniAsouti">Eleni Asouti</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="707375" type="text/json">{"id":707375,"first_name":"Eleni","last_name":"Asouti","domain_name":"liverpool","page_name":"EleniAsouti","display_name":"Eleni Asouti","profile_url":"https://liverpool.academia.edu/EleniAsouti?f_ri=7381","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/707375/238937/41429391/s65_eleni.asouti.jpg"}</script></span></span><span class="u-displayInlineBlock InlineList-item-text"> and <span class="u-textDecorationUnderline u-clickable InlineList-item-text js-work-more-authors-13550543">+2</span><div class="hidden js-additional-users-13550543"><div><span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="https://ualg.academia.edu/CerenKabukcu">Ceren Kabukcu</a></span></div><div><span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="https://upenn.academia.edu/ChantelEWhite">Chantel E.

A study of perennial plant species o1m in height was conducted along a fence separating continuously camel grazed land from land in which camels had been replaced by oryx and gazelle species for 5 years (Al Maha). Vegetation regeneration in Al Maha in the absence of camels was considerable on all substrates (gravel, stable sand, and semi-stable sand) but was greatest on the gravel substratum, indicating that ecology in this habitat is most at risk. Observed regeneration was primarily through vegetative reproduction and growth of existing plants, showing that existing species can tolerate heavy grazing. Therefore, an equilibrium grazing model of continuous and reversible vegetation dynamics is most suitable for management of this ecological zone. Species richness was greater in Al Maha due to the greater number of plants, but biodiversity was unaffected. There was some evidence of localized dune stabilization within Al Maha due to increased vegetative cover. Further recovery of vegetation within Al Maha is discussed. This study highlights the need for reduced grazing pressure throughout the Dubai inland desert, and in particular on gravel substrata.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/225605" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="0446580e4038515963827b256e599ab6" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":852349,"asset_id":225605,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/852349/download_file?st=MTczMjc4Mzk1NCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="110159" href="https://zayed.academia.edu/DavidGallacher">David Gallacher</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="110159" type="text/json">{"id":110159,"first_name":"David","last_name":"Gallacher","domain_name":"zayed","page_name":"DavidGallacher","display_name":"David Gallacher","profile_url":"https://zayed.academia.edu/DavidGallacher?f_ri=7381","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/110159/30013/7598548/s65_david.gallacher.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_225605 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="225605"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 225605, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_225605", });

infra-red and multispectral cameras) and orthomosaic software.  These new platform / sensor combinations present a dramatic new tool for the management of conservation zones as well as agricultural areas.  Micro-UAVs have clear potential use for spatial ecology studies (Anderson and Gaston 2013) and for biodiversity assessments (Getzin, Wiegand, and Schöning 2012).  They offer the potential of providing far more detailed information than previous technologies (from satellite and manned aircraft platforms) at a much lower cost (Walton et al. 2013), and with greater flexibility to gather information at specific times or frequencies.  Aerial monitoring is now feasible at pixel resolutions that range from meters to millimeters, which brings imagery to a scale that is relevant to many ecological processes (Anderson and Gaston 2013). <br />This presentation will review how this emerging technology can be applied to better manage rangelands in the Middle East, and will draw on preliminary results from the author. <br />Significance and relevance of the work <br />The long-term aims of this project are to (1) reduce the cost of rangeland monitoring for organizations that are already doing this work manually, and (2) to provide a tool that non-specialists in the region can use, thus encouraging the gathering of much better information for land management decisions. <br />Applications of the technology for the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (DDCR) have been identified as follows: <br />• Habitat classification <br />• Animal population monitoring via aggregated sites (water / feeding sites) dispersed areas (open rangeland) and indirect methods (e.g.; lizard holes, carcasses) <br />• Animal condition monitoring.  Mammalian body width is indicative of good health and/or pregnancy <br />• Plant monitoring, including estimations of biodiversity and biomass. <br />• Anthropogenic monitoring; evaluation of whether safari companies are compliant with regulations for operation within the DDCR. <br />Tools that are developed for the DDCR will be directly applicable to rangelands throughout the MENA region.  The region is highly suited to aerial monitoring, since success of classifying individual plants to species level is inversely proportional to biodiversity within a size class (Féret and Asner 2012), and is improved when individuals are discretely separated by bare ground.  Larger herbivores are rarely obstructed by trees.  Privacy and safety regulations are of less concern in rangelands due to their remoteness and low human population densities (Laliberte 2012). <br />Description of research method <br />Preliminary research has been conducted using a DJI s1000 octocopter equipped with a 24MP RGB and a 3.2 MP multispectral camera, and a SenseFly eBee fixed-wing drone equipped with 12 MP RGB and multispectral cameras.  Preliminary trials were conducted to identify the maximum ground sampling distance (related to drone altitude and camera resolution) required to be able to identify individual species with reasonable accuracy.  Images were collected at 10 m intervals from 10 to 300m above animal and plant species.  From this, trials will be conducted at selected altitudes, and species observation from resulting images will be checked for accuracy against ground-based data. <br />Results <br />At time of writing, observational data of known species taken from different altitudes has been collected, illustrating the viability of the technology.  By the time of the conference presentation, results should include at least one structured study evaluating the reliability of the technology at a specific ground sampling distance. <br />Conclusions <br />Micro-UAVs have an enormous potential for improving rangeland management in the MENA region.  However, much work still needs to be done to streamline processes and evaluate the enormous amount of data produced.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/10970429" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="d3382c2283e773d8ab2236c43e47cc9a" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":48301840,"asset_id":10970429,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/48301840/download_file?st=MTczMjc4Mzk1NCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="110159" href="https://zayed.academia.edu/DavidGallacher">David Gallacher</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="110159" type="text/json">{"id":110159,"first_name":"David","last_name":"Gallacher","domain_name":"zayed","page_name":"DavidGallacher","display_name":"David Gallacher","profile_url":"https://zayed.academia.edu/DavidGallacher?f_ri=7381","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/110159/30013/7598548/s65_david.gallacher.jpg"}</script></span></span><span class="u-displayInlineBlock InlineList-item-text"> and <span class="u-textDecorationUnderline u-clickable InlineList-item-text js-work-more-authors-10970429">+1</span><div class="hidden js-additional-users-10970429"><div><span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a href="https://independent.academia.edu/TamerKhafaga">Tamer Khafaga</a></span></div></div></span><script>(function(){ var popoverSettings = { el: $('.js-work-more-authors-10970429'), placement: 'bottom', hide_delay: 200, html: true, content: function(){ return $('.js-additional-users-10970429').html();

It is often stated that rangelands suffer from overgrazing and excess water extraction, but there is a lack of reliable historical data to support these claims. Data exists in well managed reserves such as the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (DDCR), but it is labor intensive and expensive to maintain a routine system of monitoring.\r\nRecent years have seen the rapid emergence of low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles (micro-UAVs) for civilian use. Dramatic developments in the platforms (drones) have been accompanied by the development of lightweight specialty sensors (e.g.; infra-red and multispectral cameras) and orthomosaic software. These new platform / sensor combinations present a dramatic new tool for the management of conservation zones as well as agricultural areas. Micro-UAVs have clear potential use for spatial ecology studies (Anderson and Gaston 2013) and for biodiversity assessments (Getzin, Wiegand, and Schöning 2012). They offer the potential of providing far more detailed information than previous technologies (from satellite and manned aircraft platforms) at a much lower cost (Walton et al. 2013), and with greater flexibility to gather information at specific times or frequencies. Aerial monitoring is now feasible at pixel resolutions that range from meters to millimeters, which brings imagery to a scale that is relevant to many ecological processes (Anderson and Gaston 2013).\r\nThis presentation will review how this emerging technology can be applied to better manage rangelands in the Middle East, and will draw on preliminary results from the author.\r\nSignificance and relevance of the work\r\nThe long-term aims of this project are to (1) reduce the cost of rangeland monitoring for organizations that are already doing this work manually, and (2) to provide a tool that non-specialists in the region can use, thus encouraging the gathering of much better information for land management decisions.\r\nApplications of the technology for the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (DDCR) have been identified as follows:\r\n•\tHabitat classification\r\n•\tAnimal population monitoring via aggregated sites (water / feeding sites) dispersed areas (open rangeland) and indirect methods (e.g.; lizard holes, carcasses)\r\n•\tAnimal condition monitoring. Mammalian body width is indicative of good health and/or pregnancy\r\n•\tPlant monitoring, including estimations of biodiversity and biomass.\r\n•\tAnthropogenic monitoring; evaluation of whether safari companies are compliant with regulations for operation within the DDCR.\r\nTools that are developed for the DDCR will be directly applicable to rangelands throughout the MENA region. The region is highly suited to aerial monitoring, since success of classifying individual plants to species level is inversely proportional to biodiversity within a size class (Féret and Asner 2012), and is improved when individuals are discretely separated by bare ground. Larger herbivores are rarely obstructed by trees. Privacy and safety regulations are of less concern in rangelands due to their remoteness and low human population densities (Laliberte 2012).\r\nDescription of research method\r\nPreliminary research has been conducted using a DJI s1000 octocopter equipped with a 24MP RGB and a 3.2 MP multispectral camera, and a SenseFly eBee fixed-wing drone equipped with 12 MP RGB and multispectral cameras. Preliminary trials were conducted to identify the maximum ground sampling distance (related to drone altitude and camera resolution) required to be able to identify individual species with reasonable accuracy. Images were collected at 10 m intervals from 10 to 300m above animal and plant species. From this, trials will be conducted at selected altitudes, and species observation from resulting images will be checked for accuracy against ground-based data.\r\nResults\r\nAt time of writing, observational data of known species taken from different altitudes has been collected, illustrating the viability of the technology. By the time of the conference presentation, results should include at least one structured study evaluating the reliability of the technology at a specific ground sampling distance.\r\nConclusions\r\nMicro-UAVs have an enormous potential for improving rangeland management in the MENA region. However, much work still needs to be done to streamline processes and evaluate the enormous amount of data produced.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":48301840,"asset_id":10970429,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":110159,"first_name":"David","last_name":"Gallacher","domain_name":"zayed","page_name":"DavidGallacher","display_name":"David

In plankton and periphyton of 34 lakes in northern Kazakhstan, we found 252 species belonging to 113 genera of 8 algal<br />divisions. In 24 pools with experimental salinity ranges in the Negev desert of Israel, we recorded 86 species from 47 genera<br />of 6 algal divisions. The dominant groups of both arid regions are represented by widespread species of diatoms, green algae,<br />and cyanobacteria in similar proportions. Alkaliphiles among the indicators of acidification and betamesosaprobionts among<br />the indicators of saprobity prominently prevail in both regions. The indices of saprobity in lakes (1.48-2.7) and in pools<br />(0.75-2.18) reflect a low-trophic loading. Oligohalobes-indifferents are most common in both arid regions. Cluster analysis<br />based on data containing 420 species revealed 9 clusters, of which the highly diverse communities of low mineralized lakes<br />and pools and the low diversity communities of highly-mineralized lakes and pools are separated at the highest dissimilarity<br />level.

In plankton and periphyton of 34 lakes in northern Kazakhstan, we found 252 species belonging to 113 genera of 8 algal\ndivisions. In 24 pools with experimental salinity ranges in the Negev desert of Israel, we recorded 86 species from 47 genera\nof 6 algal divisions. The dominant groups of both arid regions are represented by widespread species of diatoms, green algae,\nand cyanobacteria in similar proportions. Alkaliphiles among the indicators of acidification and betamesosaprobionts among\nthe indicators of saprobity prominently prevail in both regions. The indices of saprobity in lakes (1.48-2.7) and in pools\n(0.75-2.18) reflect a low-trophic loading. Oligohalobes-indifferents are most common in both arid regions. Cluster analysis\nbased on data containing 420 species revealed 9 clusters, of which the highly diverse communities of low mineralized lakes\nand pools and the low diversity communities of highly-mineralized lakes and pools are separated at the highest dissimilarity\nlevel. CCA analysis revealed correlation of the algal species diversity preferences with salinity level in lakes in Kazakhstan\nand in pools of Israel, which are more impacted by arid factors. These results point to mineralization being the most important\nvariable defining the diversity levels irrespective of the type and location of reservoirs in the arid regions.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":29142949,"asset_id":2006555,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":2618051,"first_name":"Sophia","last_name":"Barinova","domain_name":"haifa","page_name":"SophiaBarinova","display_name":"Sophia Barinova","profile_url":"https://haifa.academia.edu/SophiaBarinova?f_ri=7381","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/2618051/1111875/1386384/s65_sophia.barinova.jpg"},{"id":34465758,"first_name":"Eviatar","last_name":"Nevo","domain_name":"independent","page_name":"EviatarNevo","display_name":"Eviatar Nevo","profile_url":"https://independent.academia.edu/EviatarNevo?f_ri=7381","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/34465758/18932300/18882246/s65_eviatar.nevo.jpg"}],"research_interests":[{"id":7381,"name":"Arid Land Ecology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Arid_Land_Ecology?f_ri=7381","nofollow":false}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_9807440" data-work_id="9807440" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/9807440/Modeling_the_effects_of_climate_on_date_palm_scale_Parlatoria_blanchardi_population_dynamics_during_different_phenological_stages_of_life_history_under_hot_arid_conditions">Modeling the effects of climate on date palm scale (Parlatoria blanchardi) population dynamics during different phenological stages of life-history under hot arid conditions</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">The date palm scale (DPS) Parlatoria blanchardi is a serious pest due to the damage it inflicts on its host tree (Phoenix dactylifera).

To develop an effective control against DPS in arid regions, it is essential to know its bio-ecology including population dynamics and climatic factors influencing the duration and timing of life history and also the densities of different phenological stages (crawlers, first and second instars nymphs, adult males, and adult females). Monitoring of biological cycle and population dynamics of the pest were achieved through weekly counts of DPS densities on leaflets sampled at different position of date palm trees in an oasis of Ouargla region (Algerian Sahara Desert). Within this hyper-arid region, DPS established four generations per year, the most important was the spring generation. Two overlapping generations occurred in spring–early summer, and two in autumn–early winter; these two pairs of generations were interspersed by two phases of high-mortality rates, the first corresponds to winter cold, the second refers to the extreme heat of summer. Statistical analysis of the effects of the studied climatic conditions (minimum, maximum and mean temperatures, precipitation, humidity, wind, rain days, and climatic indices) on the DPS densities at different phenological stages showed great variability from one stage to another. Among these, adult females were the most affected by climate factors. For the total DPS population, high values of minimum temperatures negatively affected population density, while high maximum temperatures, hygrometry, and De Martonne aridity index showed a positive influence.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/9807440" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="21caa3a2b60526512e7929f09d230c11" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":38887312,"asset_id":9807440,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/38887312/download_file?st=MTczMjc4Mzk1NCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="4456941" href="https://univ-oeb.academia.edu/HarounChenchouni">Haroun Chenchouni</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="4456941" type="text/json">{"id":4456941,"first_name":"Haroun","last_name":"Chenchouni","domain_name":"univ-oeb","page_name":"HarounChenchouni","display_name":"Haroun Chenchouni","profile_url":"https://univ-oeb.academia.edu/HarounChenchouni?f_ri=7381","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/4456941/1823398/23831146/s65_dr._haroun.chenchouni.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_9807440 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="9807440"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 9807440, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_9807440", });

Many such settlements occur in the semi-arid lands of Kenya, which in the past had relatively lower human populations, but significant wildlife populations. Over the last four decades, the Chyulu Hills, adjacent to the Tsavo and Chyulu National Parks, have experienced rapid land cover changes associated with migrant squatter settlements. We used the Chyulu Hills to advance our understanding of the nature of land cover change under squatter settlements. We evaluated land cover change from aerial photographs and satellite images within a Geographic Information System (GIS) and combined it with landscape metrics and community surveys. Community perceptions of land cover change revealed comparable trajectories in major land cover types derived from the GIS analysis. Landscape metrics showed fragmentation of native vegetation followed by coalescence to contiguous patches of cultivation as settlements increased. Land cover trajectories under squatter settlements were influenced by historical land policies, protected area management as well as regional power structures. Our findings emphasize the importance of land use histories and community involvement in evaluating and understanding land cover change. Resolution of squatter conflicts should take cognisance of community perceptions, as well as the historical and political land use antecedents. We recommend human and social capacity building of squatters towards non-land-intensive micro-enterprises, and research and investment in ecotourism.▶ Rural landscapes under unplanned and/or squatter settlements may experience unprecedented rates and patterns of change in land cover. ▶ Combining empirical spatial analyses with community surveys can reveal important details in the process of land cover change, and can bridge an important knowledge gap in longitudinal studies where spatial and temporal gaps in remote sensing products are a constraint. ▶ Engaging squatters and illegal immigrants in land use planning may hold the potential for reduced conflicts in resource use where such settlements are in competition with conservation goals.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/1794436" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="1ee8f82b2a3ac2065859ad2d667de0fa" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":38311852,"asset_id":1794436,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/38311852/download_file?st=MTczMjc4Mzk1NCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="2147761" href="https://uq.academia.edu/LeonieSeabrook">Leonie Seabrook</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="2147761" type="text/json">{"id":2147761,"first_name":"Leonie","last_name":"Seabrook","domain_name":"uq","page_name":"LeonieSeabrook","display_name":"Leonie Seabrook","profile_url":"https://uq.academia.edu/LeonieSeabrook?f_ri=7381","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_1794436 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="1794436"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 1794436, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_1794436", });

Many such settlements occur in the semi-arid lands of Kenya, which in the past had relatively lower human populations, but significant wildlife populations. Over the last four decades, the Chyulu Hills, adjacent to the Tsavo and Chyulu National Parks, have experienced rapid land cover changes associated with migrant squatter settlements. We used the Chyulu Hills to advance our understanding of the nature of land cover change under squatter settlements. We evaluated land cover change from aerial photographs and satellite images within a Geographic Information System (GIS) and combined it with landscape metrics and community surveys. Community perceptions of land cover change revealed comparable trajectories in major land cover types derived from the GIS analysis. Landscape metrics showed fragmentation of native vegetation followed by coalescence to contiguous patches of cultivation as settlements increased. Land cover trajectories under squatter settlements were influenced by historical land policies, protected area management as well as regional power structures. Our findings emphasize the importance of land use histories and community involvement in evaluating and understanding land cover change. Resolution of squatter conflicts should take cognisance of community perceptions, as well as the historical and political land use antecedents. We recommend human and social capacity building of squatters towards non-land-intensive micro-enterprises, and research and investment in ecotourism.▶ Rural landscapes under unplanned and/or squatter settlements may experience unprecedented rates and patterns of change in land cover. ▶ Combining empirical spatial analyses with community surveys can reveal important details in the process of land cover change, and can bridge an important knowledge gap in longitudinal studies where spatial and temporal gaps in remote sensing products are a constraint. ▶ Engaging squatters and illegal immigrants in land use planning may hold the potential for reduced conflicts in resource use where such settlements are in competition with conservation goals.","downloadable_attachments":[{"id":38311852,"asset_id":1794436,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false}],"ordered_authors":[{"id":2147761,"first_name":"Leonie","last_name":"Seabrook","domain_name":"uq","page_name":"LeonieSeabrook","display_name":"Leonie Seabrook","profile_url":"https://uq.academia.edu/LeonieSeabrook?f_ri=7381","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}],"research_interests":[{"id":48,"name":"Engineering","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Engineering?f_ri=7381","nofollow":false},{"id":2809,"name":"Conservation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Conservation?f_ri=7381","nofollow":false},{"id":7381,"name":"Arid Land Ecology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Arid_Land_Ecology?f_ri=7381","nofollow":false},{"id":18892,"name":"Kenya","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Kenya?f_ri=7381","nofollow":false},{"id":19886,"name":"Community Involvement","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Community_Involvement?f_ri=7381"},{"id":20159,"name":"Capacity Building","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Capacity_Building?f_ri=7381"},{"id":28129,"name":"Urban Landscape","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Urban_Landscape?f_ri=7381"},{"id":56256,"name":"Land Use History","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Land_Use_History?f_ri=7381"},{"id":58054,"name":"Environmental Sciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Environmental_Sciences?f_ri=7381"},{"id":75283,"name":"Protected Area Management","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Protected_Area_Management?f_ri=7381"},{"id":79495,"name":"Land Cover","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Land_Cover?f_ri=7381"},{"id":109291,"name":"Land Use","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Land_Use?f_ri=7381"},{"id":187908,"name":"Population Growth","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Population_Growth?f_ri=7381"},{"id":217428,"name":"Land cover change","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Land_cover_change?f_ri=7381"},{"id":241245,"name":"Land Policy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Land_Policy?f_ri=7381"},{"id":284869,"name":"National Park","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/National_Park?f_ri=7381"},{"id":510080,"name":"Human Settlement","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Human_Settlement?f_ri=7381"},{"id":711711,"name":"Landscape Analysis","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Landscape_Analysis?f_ri=7381"},{"id":964856,"name":"Urban Landscape and Planning","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Urban_Landscape_and_Planning?f_ri=7381"},{"id":1211138,"name":"Geographic Information System","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Geographic_Information_System?f_ri=7381"},{"id":1286118,"name":"GIS","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/GIS?f_ri=7381"}]}, }) } })();</script></ul></li></ul></div></div><div class="u-borderBottom1 u-borderColorGrayLighter"><div class="clearfix u-pv7x u-mb0x js-work-card work_795753 coauthored" data-work_id="795753" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"><div class="header"><div class="title u-fontSerif u-fs22 u-lineHeight1_3"><a class="u-tcGrayDarkest js-work-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/795753/An_ecosystem_approach_to_restoration_and_sustainable_management_of_dry_forest_in_Southern_Peru">An ecosystem approach to restoration and sustainable management of dry forest in Southern Peru</a></div></div><div class="u-pb4x u-mt3x"><div class="summary u-fs14 u-fw300 u-lineHeight1_5 u-tcGrayDarkest"><div class="summarized">The dry forest of the Peruvian south coast has undergone an almost total process of deforestation.
