Qatar is one of the richest countries in the world. However, its domestic food production is so low that over 90 percent of its food supply has to be imported. This article provides some stylised facts on Qatar’s food ...
Diversity of benthic macrofauna and physical parameters of sediments in natural mangroves and in afforested mangroves three decades after compensatory planting
(
Springer
, 2018 , Article)
Mangroves in the Arabian Gulf are under pressure from land use change, leading to compensatory planting at sites without
natural mangroves. In this study, we examine the potential long-term success of this form of ...
