Photodegradation and Its Effect on Plant Litter Decomposition in Terrestrial Ecosystems: A Systematic Review
( MDPI , 2023 , Article Review)Photodegradation is an important mechanism that affects carbon and nutrient cycling; a significant amount of data has been reported previously. The present review includes the effect of a wider spectrum of solar radiation ... -
Physical drivers of chlorophyll and nutrients variability in the Southern-Central Arabian Gulf
( Academic Press , 2023 , Article)The southern-central Arabian Gulf demonstrates a poor understanding of nutrients and chlorophyll dynamics in physical-biogeochemical settings. Here, using data of chlorophyll, nutrients and hydrographic parameters collected ... -
Physico-chemical characteristics of oil produced from seeds of some date palm cultivars (Phoenix dactylifera L.) .
(2015 , Article)The oil content of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids with some physico-chemical properties and nutrients were investigated in oil produced from seeds of six important date palm cultivars and one seed strain present in ... -
Physiological and Yield Performance Is Partially Linked to Water Use Efficiency of Eggplant Genotypes in a High-Tech Glasshouse
( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2022 , Article)Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) has become an increasingly common vegetable grown in glasshouses. This study emphasized on the physiological traits and productivity of three eggplant cultivars (Longa, Lydia, and Tracey) ... -
Phytophthora-citrus interactions and management strategies: a review
( Turkiye Klinikleri , 2022 , Other)Citrus production is declining worldwide due to several biotic and abiotic factors. The diseases caused by Phytophthora spp. present major economic risks since they are soil-borne and spread quickly if environmental ... -
Plant traits poorly predict winner and loser shrub species in a warming tundra biome
( Springer , 2023 , Article)Climate change is leading to species redistributions. In the tundra biome, shrubs are generally expanding, but not all tundra shrub species will benefit from warming. Winner and loser species, and the characteristics that ... -
Polymer-metal oxide composite nanofibers
( Elsevier , 2021 , Book chapter)Extensive studies have been conducted on different kinds of polymers, their composites, and multifunctionalities, depending on their structural features. Metal oxides and their polymer nanocomposites offer technological ... -
Potassium transport and use efficiency for sustainable fertigation in protected cropping
( John Wiley & Sons , 2023 , Article)The increasing demand for high-quality horticultural produces in global markets has driven the growing crop production under protected cropping, which are usually more efficient in fertilizer use compared to field cultivation. ... -
