The study was conducted in the Kulkullessa sub-watershed of Goro Gutu District in Eastern Ethiopia to assess the effects of climate-smart soil and water conservation (SWC) practices and slope gradient on selected physicochemical properties of the soil and the soil’s organic carbon stocks. The farmland conserved by stone bund (SB), bench terrace (BT), and gras strip (GS) five years after construction with two slope gradients (15-20%) and (21-30%) was selected. Twenty-four composite soil samples were collected from a depth of 20 cm and tested in the Haramaya University soil laboratory. The study found that climate-smart SWC practices were very effective on the soil physicochemical properties and soil organic carbon stock (SOCS) of the study area. Similarly, the slope gradient brought considerable variation in soil physicochemical properties and soil organic carbon stock. On farmland that a bench terrace had preserved, the bulk density (BD) value was lower. The recorded value for total porosity on the farmland conserved by BT was also positively higher and significant (p ≤ 0.05). Likewise, the higher mean values for micronutrients and SOCS were recorded on farmlands conserved by SB, BT, and GS in contrast to the values recorded on non-conserved farmland (NCF) in the study area. Based on the study findings, climate-smart soil water and conservation practices have outstanding potential for improving soil physicochemical properties essential for agricultural crop production, climate change adaptation, and strengthening smallholder farmers’ resilience.","PeriodicalId":109211,"journal":{"name":"Nova Geodesia","volume":"35 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140362139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study is concentrated on the examination of two primary methods: LiDAR sensor and photogrammetry. The chosen case study revolves around the Camp of the V Macedonica Legion, a pivotal feature of the former Roman city now known as Turda, a city in Cluj County, Transylvania, Romania. Through analysis and comparison, the paper revealed that each of these aerial 3D scanning techniques possesses unique strengths, which, when combined, offer a comprehensive approach to archaeological digitization. These complementary attributes must be carefully considered and integrated considering the specific requirements and objectives of the archaeological project at hand when selecting the appropriate method. Furthermore, the research underscores the pivotal role of presenting archaeology in 3D, emphasizing its significant impact on both public and academic audiences. Achieving this presentation necessitates the utilization of specialized software for modelling, rendering, and animating objects of interest, thus enhancing the accessibility and engagement of archaeological findings. The comprehensive findings of this study demonstrate the vast potential offered by aerial 3D scans in the field of archaeology. Moreover, it serves as a potential call for the meticulous selection of the analysis method, recognizing its crucial role as a valuable tool for researchers and archaeologists. By leveraging 3D technologies in their activities, professionals in the field can significantly enhance the accuracy, depth, and accessibility of their archaeological investigations, thereby enriching our understanding of the past.","PeriodicalId":109211,"journal":{"name":"Nova Geodesia","volume":"103 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140379521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Robyns and Wilczek is an underutilised fruit tree valued for its nutritional benefits, but threatened by habitat destruction in Nigeria. Morphological characterisation was performed in order to elucidate the insufficient information on its morphological attributes in southwestern Nigeria. The study aimed at characterising the species population using the fruits, seeds, leaves, and the trees morphological attributes according to the habitats georeferenced by GPS. Different mother trees of the species were sampled for the study. Two distinct fruit colours (green and black) were identified, along with corresponding seed colours (red and cream). The species exhibited three primary fruit shapes, with corresponding seed shapes (ellipsoid, globose, and oval). B. mannii was encountered in the riparian, mangrove, and upland habitats. Significant differences were observed in the fruit weight, width, and length, seed weight, length and width, as well as mesocarp weight, leaf length and width between the two distinct colours, and amongst the shapes, and the habitats. The dendrogram-based clustering analysis revealed that the green morphotype and ellipsoid-shaped fruits formed the first cluster, while combinations of black and green fruits resulted in morphotypes with globose and ovate shapes in the second cluster. These findings highlight the presence of intraspecific diversity in the species with significant potential for species selection, breeding and improvement. This empirical data has important implications for the initiation of species domestication and conservation efforts.","PeriodicalId":109211,"journal":{"name":"Nova Geodesia","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139267716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because cold stress is an important challenge to silver fir seedling growth, particularly in the early phases of development, the goal of this study was to find potential genetic resources with appropriate responses to the action of low temperatures. Thus, traits of interest were studied in the early stage of seedlings from seven different Romanian provenances. Soil electrical conductivity, root weight, and total seedling weight were found to be related to seedling growth and biomass elements. The results revealed substantial differences depending on geographical origin. Garda Seaca provenance had the highest seedlings tolerance. Exposure to varying low temperatures revealed minor variations between seedlings from the control and those treated to −20 °C, which might be explained by the current temperatures in Romania’s silver fir producing area. However, exposing to −40 °C all seedlings showed deterioration. Soil electroconductivity reduced as exposure temperature decreased, emphasizing the link between cold stress and soil effects on fir seedling growth. Some Romanian provenances could be useful for future silver fir breeding or afforestation and reforestation operations.","PeriodicalId":109211,"journal":{"name":"Nova Geodesia","volume":"438 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139288634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To maintain the health of various livestock they practice ethnoveterinary medicine (EVM) which is so important yet scarcely studied. This review is based on eleven core research publication on EVM practices representing these states. Several other peer reviewed publications were also consulted for analysis and synthesis of the contents like, Physiography and Phyto-diversity, Indigenous Communities, Livestock and Common Ailments, Healer Plants, Bio-Active Components and Drugs, Potential Distribution. Analysis revealed that only twenty-three communities out of >200 are researched upon. All most all the livestock are covered in the studied area by using herbal preparation from 195 plants. However, research on pharmacological and distributional details is scanty and needs further exploration since similar plants (Asparagus racemosus, Allium sativum, Azadirachta indica, Cannabis sativa, Centella asiatica, Curcuma longa, Drymaria cordata) for ethnomedicine use (for humans) are recorded from various locations and used by different communities.

The present study was taken up at Bargarh district of Odisha, India to study and compare the spider diversity in the two cropping seasons with effect of abiotic factors on species abundance in rice lands. The observations were made across two cropping seasons during Rabi and Kharif cropping seasons to assess the seasonal influence on spider population. Seventeen families of spiders were recorded during the study out of which Rabi cropping season recorded 17 families, while Kharif season recorded 13 families. In total, 60 genera and 93 species were identified based on 2694 individuals collected where females recorded 67.6% while 18.8% were juveniles and 13.6% were male spiders. The highest species diversity was found in Araneidae family (28) while Tetragnathidae (n=1106) recorded the highest abundance. The correlation of spider abundance with abiotic factors was found to vary in both cropping seasons, where rainfall and windspeed were found to control spider colonization to a considerable extent but not found significantly corelated to abundance, while it was strongly correlated positively with relative humidity. Spider abundance and species diversity was more in the Rabi season (summer crop). Five dominant families were reported commonly from both cropping seasons: Tetragnathidae, Araneidae, Lycosidae, Salticidae and Oxyopidae. Spiders observed during the study belonged to seven different feeding guilds.","PeriodicalId":109211,"journal":{"name":"Nova Geodesia","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139337503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, the presented article focuses on the relationships among urbanization, specifically the urban attraction challenge, and its impact on ecosystems in El-Faqih Ben Saleh City in Morocco. Besides, the urban attraction challenge refers to the dynamics that draw individuals to cities, encompassing economic opportunities, education, healthcare, and cultural amenities, while also posing challenges like overpopulation and resource strain. The article discusses how urban expansion often clashes with rural areas, affecting land use, the environment, and social dynamics. The boundaries between these urban and rural areas pose multiple issues and need an integrated planning strategy. The study employs Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, using high-resolution Google Earth Pro imagery, to assess the impacts of urbanization on the environment in El-Faqih Ben Saleh City. The obtained results reveal the city’s rapid urban growth and its consequences, such as deforestation, pollution, and agricultural land loss. The findings highlight the need for sustainable urban planning, green infrastructure, and mixed land use to mitigate these impacts. The case study of El-Faqih Ben Saleh City, considered as a small city to understand the broader dynamics of contemporary urbanization, emphasizes the importance of balancing urban growth with environmental and agricultural preservation.","PeriodicalId":109211,"journal":{"name":"Nova Geodesia","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123216852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
