Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening of Actinomycete Isolates from Niche Habitats in Manipur for Antibiotic ActivityDebananda S. Ningthoujam, Suchitra Sanasam, Salam NimaichandProblem statement: The exhaustion of the usual terrestrial sources and the rise of resistant pathogens dictate the search for novel actinomycetes and new antibiotics. In this context, niche habitats such as caves, pristine forests, lakes, rivers, and other wetlands, high salt environments, marine ecosystems and endophytic niches are promising targets for survey of bioactive actinomycetes. Approach: Actinomycetes were isolated from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Concentrations of Dissolved Oxygen and Chlorophyll-a in the Coastal Waters of BabolsarSiamak Jamshidi, Noordin Bin Abu Bakar, Marzieh YousefiProblem statement: Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) are two vital requirements for marine ecosystems. Nowadays, discharge of large amounts of industrial, agricultural and urban wastes threats the Caspian Sea (CS) environment. With regard to the elevation of nutrient contents, average of DO concentrations in the deeper layers of the CS is reducing. On the other hand, increased amounts of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Potentiality of Carbon Storage and CO2 Uptake in the Biomass and Soil of Coppice StandA. Khademi, S. Babaei, A. MatajiProblem statement: Enhancing carbon storage in terrestrial ecosystems, especially in the forests, is a key factor in maintaining the atmosphere's carbon balance. With regard to the importance of forest in carbon sequestration, this study attempted to investigate the carbon storage potential and CO2 uptake in oak coppice stand. Approach: After combining slope, aspect and hypsometric maps, the number of land … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManagement Policy in and Typology of State Park SystemsLowell Caneday, Debra Jordan, Yating LiangProblem statement: Parks, with particular emphasis on national and state parks, host varied interactions between human and natural systems. In particular, state park systems manage important resources related to quality of life and also are mainstays in tourism, economic development and preservation of heritage and conservation of ecosystems. Management of these parks and the human activity occurring in them is … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2009 · 6,844 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPeople Participation, an Undeniable Necessity for Conserving Forest Areas of Arasbaran Region in IranSara Zare, Hossein Shabanali Fami, Manouchehr NamiranianThe issue of participation has recently become an interesting point for many national, regional and international institutions. Participation and collaboration of Iranians in the field of natural resources conservation has an old history. During a long period of time, vast areas of natural resources have been protected by the dwellers and indigenous users; we are witnessing deep land use changes … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,532 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Case Study of River Rehabilitation for Fish in Northern Italy: The Panaro River ProjectClaudio Comoglio, Enrico Pini Prato, Mauro Ferri, Massimiliano GianaroliThe restoration of longitudinal connectivity of a watercourse altered by man-made obstacles is a key issue for the protection and safeguard of freshwater ecosystems and the construction of fish passes constitutes a relevant ad hoc measure. However, in many countries, like Italy, there is still not an adequate technical-scientific background and experience in this field and therefore several migratory species … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMapping QTLs Linked to Physio-Morphological and Plant Production Traits under Drought Stress in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) in the Target EnvironmentS. Michael Gomez, S. Satheesh Kumar, P. Jeyaprakash et al.Drought stress is a major constraint for rice (Oryza sativa L.) production and yield stability in rainfed ecosystems. Identifying genomic regions (QTLs) contributing in drought resistance will help to develop rice cultivars suitable for water-limiting environments through marker-assisted breeding. QTLs linked to physio-morphological and plant production traits under drought stress in the field were mapped by evaluating 177 F6 recombinant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 14,482 accessesView PDFCite
