Moroccan oasis agro-ecosystems cover a total area of 115 563 km2 (15% of the country’s surface), and are home to over 1.7 million people (5% of the population). As a refuge for biodiversity, climate regulation, and agricultural products, they are the last line of defense against a progressing Sahara desert. The resilience of these once sustainable and sustainably managed agro-sylvo-pastoral ecosystems has been challenged by a number of recent transformations, directly and indirectly putting pressure on the natural resources oasis agro-ecosystems nurture and rely on. Despite investment and interest in oasis development by a number of partners, further efforts are needed to ensure sustainable natural resource management and agricultural production intensification. Without a GEF intervention, continued survival of highly diversified oasis agro-ecosystems is at stake, threatened by various factors such as the abandonment of the traditional cultivation and farming systems; conversion of land and habitat in and around traditionally managed fields to alternative uses such as unsustainable intensive farming, plantations; and the displacement and dilution of traditional varieties cultivated in these systems. The overall objective of OASIL is to revitalize oasis agro-ecosystems in the Drâa-Tafilalet region to be productive, attractive, and healthy and to sustain and make more resilient the livelihoods of the local communities. OASIL intends to achieve this objective working along 4 components, and adopting an integrated landscape approach which is rooted in multi-level, multi- sector and multi-stakeholder participation, and considers the carrying capacity of the natural resource base of the oasis agro-ecosystem (land, water, biodiversity). Component 1: Policy dialogue - Support policy dialogue at the national and regional levels on the sustainable management of oasis agro-ecosystems Public and private stakeholders at the national and regional levels will be sensitized and offered actionable knowledge, data and tools to make informed and fact-based decisions in support of the sustainable development of oasis agro-ecosystems. Policy dialogues will be backed by an interactive multi-stakeholder platform hosted by ANDZOA. Large scale commitment to a ‘Declaration on sustainable oases’ is hoped to be the result of this component. Component 2: Planning and monitoring – Improvement of Natural Resource Management and Sustainable Production Intensification planning and monitoring systems at regional and local levels Information on the state and level of degradation of oasis agro-ecosystems will be complemented and updated at the regional and local levels (4 pilot oases). This information will feed into a comprehensive typology study of oases in the Drâa- Tafilalet region and support the participatory design of sustainable oasis agro-ecosystem management and investment plans. Component 3: Demonstration - Sustainable and integrated oasis agro-ecosystem management and investment plans are implemented in pilot oasis ecosystems in at least 2 sub-drainage basins For a selection of representative oasis agro-ecosystem types, the management and investment plans will be implemented in order to demonstrate the potentials for natural resource management and sustainable production intensification in oasis, while creating and sustaining decent rural employment and adequate levels of nutritious food for the local oases populations (women and youth in particular). A forth component will ensure lessons and best practices emanating from the project are captured and disseminated, while also ensuring the effective monitoring and evaluation of the project. OASIL is a 5 year project, executed by the Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Agriculture, ANDZOA, INRA and FAO, with the support of a large number of regional and local stakeholders. 2 ACRONYMS ADA Agency for Agricultural Development AL Agricultural Label AMABO Moroccan Association of Organic Production ANDZOA National Agency for the Development of Oasis and Argan Areas APDESPS Agency for the Promotion and the Economic and Social Development of the Southern Provinces of the Kingdom AREP Regional Agency for Project Execution Drâa-Tafilalet AWP/B Annual Work Plan and Budget BH Budget Holder DDFP Directorate of Production Chain Development EP Executing Partner FAO Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations FPMIS Field Project Management Information System GEBs Global Environmental Benefits GEF Global Environment Facility GEFSEC GEF Secretariat GI Geographic Indication GEI Economic Interest Group GPI Public Interest Groups IAV Hassan II Agronomic and Veterinary Sciences Institute INRA National Institute for Agricultural Research LTO Lead Technical Officer MAPM Ministry of Agriculture andMarine Fishery M&E Monitoring and Evaluation ODECO Office for the Development of Cooperatives OMPIC Moroccan Office of Industrial and Commercial Property ONCA Office for Agricultural Advisory Services ONSSA National Food Safety Authority ORMVAO Regional Office for Agricultural Development of Ouarzazate ORMVAT Regional Office for Agricultural Development of Tafilalet PIF Project Identification Form (GEF) PAR Regional Agricultural Plans PIR Project Implementation Review PPG Project Preparation Grant (GEF) PPR Project Progress Report PMV Plan Maroc Vert (Green Morocco Plan) PRODOC Project Document PMU Project Management Unit PSC Project Steering Committee PY Project Year STAP Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel TCI Investment Centre Division (FAO) TOR Terms of Reference USD United States Dollar 3 Index ACRONYMS 3 SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION 7 1.1 THE DRAA-TAFILALET REGION.............................................................................. 7 1.1.1.

Abstract: The associative effects (AE) between concentrate (C), peanut shell (P) and alfalfa (A) were investigated by means of an automated gas production (GP) system. The C, P and A were incubated alone or as 40 : 60 : 0, 40 : 45 : 15, 40 : 30 : 30, 40 : 15 : 45, 40 : 0 : 60 and 30 : 70 : 0, 30 : 55 : 15, 30 : 40 : 30, 30 : 25 : 45, 30 : 10 : 60, 30 : 0 : 70 mixtures where the C : roughage (R) ratios were 40 : 60 and 30 : 70. Samples (0.2000 ± 0.0010 g) of single feeds or mixtures were incubated for 96 h in individual bottles (100 ml) with 30 ml of buffered rumen fluid. GP parameters were analysed using a single exponential equation. After incubation, the residues were used to determine pH, dry matter digestibility (DMD), organic matter digestibility (OMD), volatile fatty acids (VFA) and ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) of the incubation fluid, and their single factor AE indices (SFAEI) and multiple-factors AE indices (MFAEI) were determined.

This polysaccharide is made from units of xylose (a pentose sugar). One promising source of xylan is oat spelt. This feedstock was used for the synthesis of two xylan ethers. To achieve water soluble products, we prepared dihydroxypropyl xylan as a non-ionic ether on the one hand, and carboxymethyl xylan as an ionic derivative on the other hand. Different preparation methods like heterogeneous, pseudo-homogeneous, and homogeneous syntheses were compared. In the case of dihydroxypropyl xylan, the synthesis method did not significantly affect the degree of substitution (DS). In contrast, in the case of carboxymethyl xylan, clear differences of the DS values were found in dependence on the synthesis method. Xylan ethers with DS values of >1 could be obtained, which mostly show good water solubility. The synthesized ionic, as well as non-ionic, xylan ethers were soluble in water, even though the aqueous solutions showed slight turbidity. Nevertheless, stable, transparent, and stainable films could be prepared from aqueous solutions from carboxymethyl xylans.

  • Genetic Considerations in Ecosystem Restoration Using Native Tree Species the State of the World’S Forest Genetic Resources Thematic Study
    GENETIC CONSIDERATIONS IN ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION USING NATIVE TREE SPECIES USING NATIVE IN ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION GENETIC CONSIDERATIONS THE STATE OF THE WORLD’S FOREST GENETIC RESOURCES THEMATIC STUDY There is renewed interest in the use of native tree species in ecosystem restoration for their biodiversity benefits. Growing native tree species in production systems THE STATE OF THE WORLD’S FOREST GENETIC RESOURCES – THE STATE (e.g. plantation forests and subsistence agriculture) can also ensure landscape functionality and support for human livelihoods. Achieving full benefits, however, requires consideration of genetic aspects that are often neglected, such as suitability of germplasm to the site, quality and quantity of the genetic pool used and regeneration potential. Understanding the extent and nature of gene flow across fragmented agro-ecosystems is also crucial to successful ecosystem restoration. This study, prepared within the ambit of The State of the World’s Forest Genetic Resources, reviews the role of genetic considerations in a wide range of ecosystem restoration activities involving trees. It evaluates how different approaches take, or could take, genetic aspects into account, thereby leading to the identification and selection of the most appropriate methods. The publication includes a review and syntheses of experience and results; an analysis of successes and failures in various systems; and definitions of best practices including genetic aspects. It also identifies knowledge gaps and needs for further research and development
