  • Jordan Itinerary Wildlife Holiday Botanical Tour Irises Tulips Orchids
    Jordan A Greentours Itinerary Day 1 Arrive Jordan Our direct British Airways flight arrives late in the evening so we’ll stay the first night in Madaba, just half an hour from the airport. Days 2 - 5 The Northern Hills, Ajlun, Jerash, and the Syrian border The hills that form the east bank of the Jordan Valley may come as a surprise to the first-time visitor to Jordan. Covered in a beguiling mix of olive groves, terraces, villages and some rather fine indigenous forest, they have a very rich natural as well as cultural heritage. The latter of course will play a significant part on our tour and so we’ll take time out to enjoy the Roman ruins at Jerash, the wonderful situation of Roman Pella, and the fairy-tale ruins of the Arab-built Crusader period castle that looms over Ajlun. However it is the fauna and flora that will take most of our attention. The hills reach around four thousand feet above sea level along their length, actually four thousand two hundred feet above the almost subtropical Jordan River in the valley below. The hills have a largely European avifauna but as one descends things become more exotic with first Blackstarts and Spectacled Bulbuls, and then White-throated Kingfisher and Little Green Bee- eater. The same is true of the flowers with the highest hills having an almost alpine component and the valley a rich mixture of Middle-eastern plants. Ajlun, a new nature reserve protecting an area of natural evergreen oak forest, is right on the very tops of the hills.

  • Nature Conservation
    J. Nat. Conserv. 11, – (2003) Journal for © Urban & Fischer Verlag http://www.urbanfischer.de/journals/jnc Nature Conservation Constructing Red Numbers for setting conservation priorities of endangered plant species: Israeli flora as a test case Yuval Sapir1*, Avi Shmida1 & Ori Fragman1,2 1 Rotem – Israel Plant Information Center, Dept. of Evolution, Systematics and Ecology,The Hebrew University, Jerusalem, 91904, Israel; e-mail: [email protected] 2 Present address: Botanical Garden,The Hebrew University, Givat Ram, Jerusalem 91904, Israel Abstract A common problem in conservation policy is to define the priority of a certain species to invest conservation efforts when resources are limited. We suggest a method of constructing red numbers for plant species, in order to set priorities in con- servation policy. The red number is an additive index, summarising values of four parameters: 1. Rarity – The number of sites (1 km2) where the species is present. A rare species is defined when present in 0.5% of the area or less. 2. Declining rate and habitat vulnerability – Evaluate the decreasing rate in the number of sites and/or the destruction probability of the habitat. 3. Attractivity – the flower size and the probability of cutting or exploitation of the plant. 4. Distribution type – scoring endemic species and peripheral populations. The plant species of Israel were scored for the parameters of the red number. Three hundred and seventy (370) species, 16.15% of the Israeli flora entered into the “Red List” received red numbers above 6. “Post Mortem” analysis for the 34 extinct species of Israel revealed an average red number of 8.7, significantly higher than the average of the current red list.

  • Study on the Phenolic Content, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Effects of Sternbergia Clusiana
    Asian Journal of Chemistry; Vol. 23, No. 12 (2011), 5280-5284 Study on the Phenolic Content, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Effects of Sternbergia clusiana * R. MAMMADOV, Y. KARA and H. ERTEM VAIZOGULLAR Department of Biology, Faculty of Science and Arts, Pamukkale University, 20100 Denizli, Turkey *Corresponding author: Fax: +90 258 2963535; Tel: +90 258 2963669; E-mail: [email protected] (Received: 27 October 2010; Accepted: 12 August 2011) AJC-10269 In this study, the antioxidant, antimicrobial effects and phenolic content of Sternbergia clusiana were investigated. Antimicrobial activity was determined by agar-well diffusion method. The total phenolic content of extracts was determined using to the Folin-Ciocalteu method. Total antioxidant activity was evaluated by β-carotene-linoleic acid method. The highest phenolic content was found in bulb- methanol extract. Results showed that the highest antioxidant activity was in the bulb-ethanol solution and the least antioxidant activity was in the bulb-benzene solution. According to free radical scavenging, the values of bulb-methanol, bulb-benzene and leaf-acetone were found to be higher than the values of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Sternbergia bulb ethanol (SBE), sternbergia bulb acetone (SBA), sternbergia leaf ethanol (SLE) and sternbergia bulb benzene (SBB) extracts have showed mostly effect on G(+) bacteria. Sternbergia bulb ethanol and sternbergia bulb acetone extracts have showed mostly effect on G(–) bacteria. Extracts of S. clusiana are quite effective on Candida albicans ATCC 10239 except for sternbergia leaf methanol (SLM ). In this study, extracts of S. clusiana have showed antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Key Words: Sternbergia clusiana, Phenolic content, Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, Extract, Radical-scavenging.
