Comparison of seed germination and recovery responses of a salt marsh Halophyte halopeplis perfoliata to osmotic and ionic treatments
( Pakistan Botanical Society , 2016 , Article)Salinity affects seed germination of halophytes by inducing ionic toxicity, osmotic constraint or both. Information about the effects of salinity on seed germination of a large number of halophytes exists, but generally ... -
Effects of dissolved organic phase composition and salinity on the engineered sulfate application in a flow-through system
( Springer , 2020 , Article)Engineered sulfate application has been proposed as an effective remedy to enhance the rate-limited biodegradation of petroleum-hydrocarbon-contaminated subsurface environments, but the effects of dissolved organic phase ... -
Enhancement of Naphthalene Biodegradation by Sulfate Application in Brackish Subsurface Systems
( Qatar Univesrity Press , 2020 , Conference Paper)Anaerobic biodegradation is the most dominant mechanism in the petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated subsurface systems. Due to depletion of terminal electron acceptors such as sulfate, anaerobic degradation of organic ... -
Expression Patterns Of Genes Encoding Antioxidative Enzymes In Date Palm(phoenix Dactylifera) In Response To Salinity Stress
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2014 , Conference Paper)Background Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses threatening crop productivity worldwide. Plants exposed to severe salinity suffer ionic toxicities, osmotic stress and oxidative damage that lead to inhibition of ... -
Influence of temperature, salinity and Mg:Ca ratio on microbially-mediated formation of Mg-rich carbonates by Virgibacillus strains isolated from a sabkha environment.
( Nature Research , 2019 , Article)Studies have demonstrated that microbes facilitate the incorporation of Mg into carbonate minerals, leading to the formation of potential dolomite precursors. Most microbes that are capable of mediating Mg-rich carbonates ... -
Preliminary insight into winter native fish assemblages in guadiana estuary salt marshes coping with environmental variability and non-indigenous fish introduction
( MDPI AG , 2017 , Article)This work aims to undertake a preliminary characterization of winter fish assemblages in the salt marsh areas of Guadiana lower estuary (South-East Portugal) and discusses the potential risks of habitat dominance by a ... -
Salinity Effects on Symbiodinium sp. growth rate in Controlled conditions and produced Biomass Biochemical Characterization
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Salinity is an abiotic influencer to the growth and the efficiency of the algal Symbiodinium that coexists in symbiosis with corals. In light of the high salinity conditions that prevail in the Arabian Gulf including the ... -
Sorption of benzene and naphthalene on (semi)-arid coastal soil as a function of salinity and temperature
( Elsevier B.V. , 2018 , Article)Considerable activities from the oil and natural gas sector have risen some concerns about the pollution of soil and groundwater by petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) in (semi)-arid coastal regions. The understanding of the ... -
The Influences of Produced Water Irrigation on Soil microbial succession and Turfgrass Grass Establishment in Qatar
