To understand water productivity of crops cultivated in the Eastern Province
of Saudi Arabia, this study was conducted to generate a reliable crop type
map using a multi-temporal satellite data (ASTER, Landsat-8 and MODIS) and
crop phenology....

Toxoplasmosis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by the parasitic protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. It can infect all warm-blooded vertebrate species and causes abortions and birth defects in pregnant women and pregnant ewes. The objective of this study was...

In dry areas, natural plant communities are mainly affected by climatic stress and human disturbances – overgrazing, ploughing and biomass harvesting – that accelerate their degradation. Management techniques, including creation of national parks...

Supplemental feeding of lambs with forage legumes or grains provides a potential option to increase proportion of prime lambs and profitability in intensive pasture-based lamb production systems. A two-year study in the Central Anatolian Region of...

Determinants of the use of cereal and pulse residue for livestock feeding and soil mulching among smallholder farmers in the mixed farming system were analyzed. Crop residue (CR) is dual purpose resources in the mixed crop–livestock systems of the...

Climate change and other anthropogenic
disturbances can lead to the loss of genetic variation
and thereby affect evolutionary potential and survival
of plant populations in the wild. We examined these
predictions in the primary wild relative of...

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is under
