Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGrowth and Development of the Black Saxaul Depending on Tillage in Arid Conditions of KazakhstanRuslan Akhmetov, Daniyar Dosmanbetov, Alimzhan Rakhimzhanov et al.The study aimed to develop technology for the artificial cultivation of saxaul plantations with minimal labor and money, allowing for achieving a high survival rate, growth intensity, and crop development. The Samara State Institution for the Protection of Forests and Wildlife studied the effectiveness of creating forest plantations using various tillage methods. Four soil preparation systems served as experiment variants. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2023 · 5,091 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevention of Desertification and Land Degradation using Black Saxaul in Arid ConditionsBirzhan Yessimbek, Bulkajyr Mambetov, Ruslan Akhmetov et al.The harsh climate of the arid zone determines several biological features in black saxaul plantations. Therefore, the study of the growth and condition of artificial plantations, depending on the use of physiologically active moisture-absorbing substances and growth biostimulants, is of particular practical importance. In the Moinkum sands of the Zhambyl region (Kazakhstan), observations of the growth and development of the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2022 · 5,516 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFormation of Post-Fire Water Repellent Layers on Nothofagus glauca (Hualo) Forests, After the Historical “Las Máquinas” Wildfire in South-Central ChilePablo A. Garcia-Chevesich, Eduardo Martínez, Alejandro García et al.The Chilean summer of 2017 was the worst wildfire season by far. Hundreds of wildfires burned a total of more than half a million hectares of forested land (native forests and forest plantations). A significant portion of the burned area was occupied by Hualo (Nothofagus glauca (Phil.) Krasser), a native forest species widely distributed in central Chile. Using the water-drop-penetration-time … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2019 · 9,388 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAn Opportunity for the Agricultural Sector: The Renewable Energy SourcesRiccardo Testa, Salvatore TudiscaToday, among the most important issue for energy decisions by policymakers, there are security challenges and environmental impacts on climate change and economic aspects. Since the seventies, in fact, global warming and environmental issues have had an increasing importance in international debate, attracting the attention of several scientific studies (Landi and Benelli, 2016). Many of these studies denoted that over … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2016 · 8,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing Forest Plantation Productivity of Exotic and Indigenous Species on Degraded Secondary ForestsYetti Heryati, Arifin Abdu, Mohd Noor Mahat et al.Problem Statement: There is general agreement that human activities such as deforestation and land use change to other land use types have contributed to degraded secondary forests or forestland and increases the emission of greenhouse gases which ultimately led to global climate change. An establishment of forest plantation in particular is regarded as an important approach for sequestering carbon. However, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 10,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrowth Performance and Biomass Accumulation of a Khaya ivorensis Plantation in three Soil Series of UltisolsYetti Heryati, Debora Belawan, Arifin Abdu et al.Abstract: Problem statement: There was no information about the relationship between growth parameters, such as diameter and height and tree component biomass of Khaya ivorensis plantations with different soil types. The objectives of this study were, first, to determine and compare the growth of K. ivorensis in three different (Padang Besar, Durian and Rengam) soil series of Ultisols and, second, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 10,170 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Converting Secondary Forest to Oil Palm Plantation on Peat Soil Carbon and Nitrogen and other Soil Chemical PropertiesMakilan Muniandy, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohd Khanif YusopProblem statement: Peatlands are natural sequesters of carbon and nitrogen. Once they are disturbed the tendency to lose carbon and nitrogen to the environment is very high. This study investigated the effect of converting peat land forest into oil palm plantation on soil chemical properties with particular emphasis on carbon and nitrogen storage. Approach: Soil samples were collected randomly at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,302 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVegetation Assessment of Peat Swamp Forest Using Remote SensingSeca Gandaseca, John Sabang, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. MajidProblem statement: Peat covers 1.6 million ha (13%) of the 12.4 million ha land area of Sarawak and some of peat swamp forests have been logged. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of logging operation on peat swamp forest in this area. Approach: The study used a remote sensing technique to assess vegetation cover in a … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 9,129 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Converting Secondary Forest on Tropical Peat Soil to Oil Palm Plantation on Carbon StorageCh’ng Huck Ywih, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohamadu Boyie JallohProblem statement: Peat has been identified as one of the major groups of soils found in Malaysia. Sarawak as the largest state in Malaysia has the biggest reserve of peat-land. There are about 1.5 million ha of peat-land in Sarawak, which are relatively under developed. As is the case with any plant, oil palm trees do sequester carbon as they … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 9,039 accessesView PDFCite
