The potential impact of climate change on linkages between above and below ground communities in low diversity ecosystems in extreme environments
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
There is growing evidence that ecosystem function depend on biodiversity. For example, experimental studies with different number of plant species show that microbial biomass, fungal abundance and N mineralisation rates ...

, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Coral reefs represent one of the most biologically and socio-economically important natural assets in the Arabian region, particularly in Qatar. Stress through increasing sea temperatures and salinities, growing development, ...
Winter thermoregulation of free-ranging Ethiopian hedgehogs (Paraechinus aethiopicus) in Qatar
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Biologists focus on thermoregulation of desert mammals in terms of how they minimise heat gain during hotter months, and put less effort on how they maximise heat gain during cooler months. Heat gain may contribute to ...
