Hiding in the background: community-level patterns in invertebrate herbivory across the tundra biome
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Invertebrate herbivores depend on external temperature for growth and metabolism. Continued warming in tundra ecosystems is proposed to result in increased invertebrate herbivory. However, empirical data about how current ...
Geochemical investigation of Yamama crude oils and their inferred source rocks in the Mesopotamian Basin, Southern Iraq
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Ten oil samples from the Yamama reservoirs and ten extracts of purported source rocks from sixteen wells in the Mesopotamian Basin, Southern Iraq have been analyzed using GC, GC/MS and Stable Carbon Isotope. Yamama oils ...
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 ...
Impact of the demise mechanisms of the Cretaceous rudist buildups in the Arabian Plate on their reservoir characteristics
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2017 , Article)
Rudist buildups form the major oil-producing reservoirs in the Cretaceous carbonate strata of the Arabian Plate. They are the main components of the Shuaiba and Mishrif and to lesser extent, the Natih, Mauddud, Simsima, ...
BTEX, nitrogen oxides, ammonia and ozone concentrations at traffic influenced and background urban sites in an arid environment
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Spatial distribution of key air pollutants were studied in Doha, Qatar, over the course of two monitoring campaigns in early spring, 2016. Time-weighted averages of BTEX components (benzene, toluene, ethyl-benzene, ...
Microbial community composition and dolomite formation in the hypersaline microbial mats of the Khor Al-Adaid sabkhas, Qatar
(
Springer Tokyo
, 2019 , Article)
The Khor Al-Adaid sabkha in Qatar is among the rare extreme environments on Earth where it is possible to study the formation of dolomite-a carbonate mineral whose origin remains unclear and has been hypothetically linked ...
Improved ecological monitoring for urban ecosystem protection in China
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Ecological monitoring (EM) is a significant scientific topic recognized for its potential for providing basic, but vital, data for ecosystem assessment to address sustainability issues. However, a monitoring framework that ...
Assessment of climate change pattern in the Pauri Garhwal of the Western Himalayan Region: based on climate parameters and perceptions of forest-dependent communities
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
© 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. This study assessed the climate change in Pauri district, Uttarakhand, India, a region highly vulnerable to climate change with potentially high loss of livelihoods and lives. The ...
Outwelling from arid mangrove systems is sustained by inwelling of seagrass productivity
(
Inter-Research
, 2014 , Article)
Mangrove forest productivity is normally sustained by nutrients from terrestrial runoff, with freshwater inputs driving the resulting outwelling of production, but arid mangroves lack this input. The movement of material ...
Geochemical composition of Aeolian dust and surface deposits from the Qatar Peninsula
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Abstract The trace metal geochemistry of atmospheric dust and terrestrial surface particles were studied on the Qatar Peninsula from February 2014 to November 2015. We included samples of the mega dust-storm event on 01–02 ...
