The waters are Na–Cl + 2+ 2+ − 2− brines that have undergone extensive evaporation, but they are unlike seawater derived brines in that the K is low and the Ca >Mg and HCO3 >SO4 .In addition to evapo-concentration, the most saline samples indicate that the dissolution of previously deposited salt also acts as a major control on the geochemistry of these waters.

  • Biotechnological Potentials of Seidlitzia Rosmarinus: a Mini Review
    African Journal of Biotechnology Vol. 8 (11), pp. 2429-2431, 3 June, 2009 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJB ISSN 1684–5315 © 2009 Academic Journals Mini Review Biotechnological potentials of Seidlitzia rosmarinus: A mini review M. R. Hadi Department of Biology, Sciences and Research Branch of Fars, Islamic Azad University, Iran. E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]. Accepted 30 March, 2009 Seidlitzia rosmarinus is a perennial woody plant grown mostly along the banks of salt marshes and in soils with high saline water tables. This plant being a halophyte is very well adapted to grow in dry and salt affected desert soils. It plays an important role in both soil preservation and maintenance. The leaves, stems and seeds harvested in fall are used as fodder for livestock. Ashes remaining after burning the leaves and stems make a salt which is rich in sodium carbonate and is called "Karia" or "Caria" in Iran. When dissolved in water, Karia produces a soda also called "Ghalyab". The dried leaves powder is used as detergent for washing cloths and dishes. It has also many industrial applications such as dyeing, making soaps, pottery and ceramics among others. Besides being used as fodder in dry and desert regions, its "Ghalyab" can be used in biotechnological studies. Cultivation of S. rosmarinus plants in salt affected and dry farm lands for "Ghalyab" production has economical values. Key words: Seidlitzia romarinus, biotechnology, salt tolerance, soda, forage. INTRODUCTION Seidlitzia rosmarinus is a perennial woody plant well In Iran, the areas affected by mild and moderate salinity adapted to grow along the banks of salt marshes and are about 25.5 million hectares and those severely also in saline soils (Breckle, 1986; Hedge et al., 1997).

  • Modeling the Spatial Distribution of Eshnan (Seidlitzia Rosmarinus) Shrubs to Exploring Their Ecological Interactions in Drylands of Central Iran

Erfanifard a*, E. Khosravi a a Dept. of Natural Resources and Environment, College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran - [email protected], [email protected] KEY WORDS: Eshnan, Dryland, Modelling, Spatial distribution, Summary statistic, Irano-Turanian zone. ABSTRACT: Evaluating the interactions of woody plants has been a major research topic of ecological investigations in arid ecosystems. Plant-plant interactions can shift from positive (facilitation) to negative (competition) depending on levels of environmental stress and determine the spatial pattern of plants. The spatial distribution analysis of plants via different summary statistics can reveal the interactions of plants and how they influence one another. An aggregated distribution indicates facilitative interactions among plants, while dispersion of species reflects their competition for scarce resources. This study was aimed to explore the intraspecific interactions of eshnan (Seidlitzia rosmarinus) shrubs in arid lands, central Iran, using different summary statistics (i.e., pair correlation function g(r), O-ring function O(r), nearest neighbour distribution function D(r), spherical contact distribution function Hs(r)). The observed pattern of shrubs showed significant spatial heterogeneity as compared to inhomogeneous Poisson process (α=0.05). The results of g(r) and O(r) revealed the significant aggregation of eshnan shrubs up to scale of 3 m (α=0.05).

  • WOOD ANATOMY of CHENOPODIACEAE (AMARANTHACEAE S
    IAWA Journal, Vol. 33 (2), 2012: 205–232 WOOD ANATOMY OF CHENOPODIACEAE (AMARANTHACEAE s. l.) Heike Heklau1, Peter Gasson2, Fritz Schweingruber3 and Pieter Baas4 SUMMARY The wood anatomy of the Chenopodiaceae is distinctive and fairly uni- form. The secondary xylem is characterised by relatively narrow vessels (<100 µm) with mostly minute pits (<4 µm), and extremely narrow ves- sels (<10 µm intergrading with vascular tracheids in addition to “normal” vessels), short vessel elements (<270 µm), successive cambia, included phloem, thick-walled or very thick-walled fibres, which are short (<470 µm), and abundant calcium oxalate crystals. Rays are mainly observed in the tribes Atripliceae, Beteae, Camphorosmeae, Chenopodieae, Hab- litzieae and Salsoleae, while many Chenopodiaceae are rayless. The Chenopodiaceae differ from the more tropical and subtropical Amaran- thaceae s.str. especially in their shorter libriform fibres and narrower vessels. Contrary to the accepted view that the subfamily Polycnemoideae lacks anomalous thickening, we found irregular successive cambia and included phloem. They are limited to long-lived roots and stem borne roots of perennials (Nitrophila mohavensis) and to a hemicryptophyte (Polycnemum fontanesii). The Chenopodiaceae often grow in extreme habitats, and this is reflected by their wood anatomy. Among the annual species, halophytes have narrower vessels than xeric species of steppes and prairies, and than species of nitrophile ruderal sites. Key words: Chenopodiaceae, Amaranthaceae s.l., included phloem, suc- cessive cambia, anomalous secondary thickening, vessel diameter, vessel element length, ecological adaptations, xerophytes, halophytes. INTRODUCTION The Chenopodiaceae in the order Caryophyllales include annual or perennial herbs, sub- shrubs, shrubs, small trees (Haloxylon ammodendron, Suaeda monoica) and climbers (Hablitzia, Holmbergia).

  • Flora of Shaumari Wildlife Reserve, Jordan
    8 Jordan Journal of Natural History Flora of Shaumari Wildlife Reserve, Jordan Dawud Al-Eisawi1 & Anas Abu Yahya2 1 Department of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan, e-mail: [email protected] 2 The Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN), Amman, Jordan P. O. Box 1215 ABSTRACT Shaumari Wildlife Reserve is the first reserve established by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature in Jordan, yet the total flora accounts has never been published or known to the nearest species number. In this study the flora of Shaumari Wildlife Reserve has been prepared and accumulated based on the latest survey and all previous studies since 1975. This study has revealed that the flora is composed of a total number of 237 species belonging to 152 genera and 36 families. All taxa and abbreviations were checked in accordance to the latest Plant List of Plants (Royal Botanic Garden, Kew, UK) and according to the Tropicos database (Missouri Botanical Garden, USA). Key Words: Flora, Shaumari Wildlife Reserve, Eastern Desert, Jordan. INTRODUCTION Shaumari Wildlife Reserve (SWR) is the oldest reserve established in 1975 as the first Jordanian wildlife reserve that acts as a breeding center for endan- gered or locally extinct faunal species and to provide an open station for sci- entific research programs in the arid and semi-arid habitats. The last eco- logical survey was conducted in 2002 by Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) staff, and thus the need for updating ecological database of the site is becoming urgently needed.

The rodent fauna of Jordan consists of 28 species with 20 genera in eight families (Cricetidae, Dipodidae, Gliridae, Hystricidae, Muridae, Myocastoridae, Sciuridae, and Spalacidae), including four introduced species. Keys for families and species were provided, along with diagnosis for each species and cranial illustrations for most species. Habitat preference and zoogeographic affinities of rodents in Jordan were analyzed, as well as their status and conservation. Threat categories and causes of threats on the rodents of Jordan were also analyzed. The distribution of rodents in Jordan represents a reflection of their global distribution ranges and habitat preferences. Species associated with the temperate forest of northern Jordan includes Sciurus anomalus and two wood mice, Apodemus mystacinus and A. flavicollis, while non-forested areas are represented by Nannospalax ehrenbergi and Microtus guentheri. Strict sand dwellers include Gerbillus cheesmani and G. gerbillus. Petrophiles associated with sandstone or black lava deserts are exemplified by Acomys russatus, A. r. lewsi, H. indica and S. calurus. Others including: Jaculus jaculus, G.

  • Annex a Investment Survey
    Annex A Investment Survey A.1 Introduction A.2 Characteristics of Factories A.3 Utilities and Facilities A.4 Potential Investment Plan A.5 Agro-industrial Park INVESTMENT SURVEY This report documents the results of the survey that was performed to study the issues related to enterprises in food, pharmaceutical, agriculture and supporting service sectors with the potential for growth and export from the Agro-industrial Park in the future. The survey sample consists of 50 enterprises from the different five sectors (food processing, perishable food, animal feeds, supporting services, and pharmaceutical sectors). Based on the results of this survey, the following findings can be drawn: • It is noted that the Palestinian market generally consists of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). • On the average, the highest investment capital was found in the enterprises of the food processing sector followed by those in the pharmaceutical sector. Both of which have higher annual sales than the other surveyed sectors. • Animal feeds and perishable food sectors showed the highest percentage of raw materials in the total production cost. • The share of raw materials in the domestic market significantly varies by the kind of raw materials, some of which are imported from Israel, Jordan, Europe and other countries while the share of production in the domestic market is much higher (up to 82% of the production on the average) than that in the export market. • The maximum number and size of outgoing trucks on the daily average basis was found to be 60 trucks and 30 tons respectively, while incoming trucks was found to be 30 trucks and 30 tons respectively.
