Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSoil Quality of Die off and Die Back Mangrove Grown at Al-Jubail Area (Saudi Arabia) of the Arabian GulfAkram Ali, Ahmed Alfarhan, Ernest Robinson, Wafa AltesanThe declining mangrove vegetation along the Arabian Gulf coast necessitates a thorough study for finding out the soil status and for rehabilitating the affected population. In this study, soil supporting die back/die off mangrove plants at Al-Jubail area was studied. Field experiments were also conducted to determine the success/failure ratio of the germinated seeds in both healthy and damaged soils. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,617 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMolecular Study of Energy Related Mitochondrial Genes in Arabian and Bactrian CamelsMohamed M. Ahmed, Samir A. El-Shazly, Samy M. Sayed, Sayed A.M. AmerThe single-humped camel, Camelus dromedaries inhabiting Afro-Arabia and the double-humped camel, Camelus bactrianus inhabiting central Asia are the only species in their genus. The present study aimed to amplify and partially sequence the mitochondrial DNA genes encoding for NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1, cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1, ATP synthase subunit 6 (ATP6), cytochrome b and displacement region (d-loop) in the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 7,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalysis of Evapotranspiration Variability and Trends in the Arabian PeninsulaMohammad ElNesr, Abdulrahman Alazba, Majed Abu-ZreigProblem statement: Climate variability is receiving much attention recently because it has significant effects on water resources and therefore on the livelihood of society especially in water scarce countries such the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Approach: The aim of this study was to explore changes in the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) using data from 27 weather stations through years 1980-2008 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePattern of Survival and Mortality of Mangrove Populations Grown at Al-Jubail Area (Saudi Arabia) of the Arabian GulfAkram Ali, Ahmed Alfarhan, Ernest Robinson, Ibrahim AldjainThe life table and fecundity schedule were produced for [Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh] populations of four habitat types at Al-Jubail area, KSA. These types are sand mounds, salt flats, shoreline and intertidal sites. Survivorship (lx) was least in sand mounds and similar in all other sites. Age-specific-mortality rates (qx) where parallel in the flower bud, flower, fruiting and seedling stages … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,866 accessesView PDFCite
