The Role of Wind Dynamics in Sand Mobility in the Tafilalet Oasis (Southeast Morocco) [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Wind plays a crucial role in the movement and accumulation of sand in the Tafilalet Oasis. It is the primary driver of variations in the morphological forms of sand accumulation, as well as the direction of dune development and movement. This dynamic has

Reciprocal relations shape cultural landscapes: Women's environmental stewardship in Ait Bouguemez (High Atlas, Morocco)

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Mountain social–ecological systems encompass steep ecological gradients and diverse cultural practices, yet the relative roles of these factors in shaping mountain landscapes remain underexplored. In particular, the knowledge and practices of women in coproducing biocultural landscapes are often invisible in the academic literature. In the Ait

Assessing Extracellular Vesicle Proteins as Predictive Biomarkers for Developing Type 1 Diabetes

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) are considered excellent sources for biomarker discovery since they carry signatures of their cellular origin and disease processes. In this paper, we evaluate the potential of plasma EV proteomics analysis for identifying predictive biomarkers of developing type 1 diabetes (T1D), which results from ...

Typology and varietal biodiversity of date palm farms in the North-East of Algerian Sahara

Journal of Taibah University for Science, 2019
In Algerian desert, oases are characterized by the presence of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) as a dominant species. This plant gives fruit but also creates a favourable microclimate for other crops.

Nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications for the sotol plant (Asparagaceae, Convallarioideae): A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can

Dynamic characteristics of land degradation development in agricultural oasis of desert-oasis ecotone [PDF]

, 2007
To explore the evaluation of land degradation in agricultural region of desert-oasis ecotone, the spatial heterogeneity of topsoil (0-20 cm) and the relationship of such heterogeneity and land use type were studied using a combination of semivariogram ...

Cross‐Linking Mass Spectrometry of the Antimicrobial Peptides Magainin 2 and PGLa Reveals Heterodimerization in Micellar Medium

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rationale In this study, we applied cross‐linking mass spectrometry (XL‐MS) to characterize the oligomeric states of a PGLa/magainin 2 mixture and gain insight into the heterodimerization previously suggested in the literature. Both peptides have shown a synergistic enhancement of activity when tested in antimicrobial assays; however, the ...

Multi‐Platform Deployments of Low‐Cost Devices for Cetacean Passive Acoustic Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Recent advances in affordable, user‐friendly devices offer new opportunities to overcome cost constraints of underwater passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and expand acoustic data collection. In this study, we deployed low‐cost acoustic recorders and underwater cameras across a range of platforms in the Western Mediterranean, including fishing gear ...

Concrete jungle to urban oasis: evaluating scale, vegetation cover, and aggregation of urban greenspaces on wildlife

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban greenspaces are a haven for wildlife in densely populated cities. Wildlife use greenspaces for resource acquisition, shelter, and travel across urbanized landscapes. Greenspace metrics such as herbaceous or woody landcover, size, patchiness, and human land use influence species richness.
