Human pressures have encouraged more active consideration of alternative water sources as a strategic option to supplement water supplies and protect natural resources. Recognition of the potential role of water reuse in such a strategy is now well embedded within both European and national policy communities. However, a lack of governance in decision-making processes focused on the benefits of using alternative water resources can motivate frustration to farmers and the public. In order to address this gap, the provision of water governance tools, strategies and policies are key issues than simply finding technical (or technocratic) solutions for matching, in space and time, and in quantity and quality, water demands and (alternative) water sources. The promotion of Constructed Wetlands (CWs) and Alternative Water Exchange Consortiums (AWECs) can be positive to ensure irrigation governance in the Anthropocene.","PeriodicalId":447148,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ecology & Natural Resources","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122280552","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}

Results showed predominant activity with respect to all the assays with different chemical systems including reducing power, DPPH free radical scavenging, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), superoxide scavenging, peroxide scavenging, ferrous ion chelating, total phenolic & flavonoid content. Scavenging effects on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals were moderate to high (66.23-92.27%) at 1.5 mg/ml. Chelating effects on ferrous ions were moderate to excellent (78.41-96.65%) at 20 mg/ml. At 12 mg/ml, the reducing powers were excellent (84.04 – 92.82%). FRAP results were moderate in the range (18.60 – 72.35%) at 12 mg/ml. The ability to scavenge super oxide (% SOD scavenging) was moderate to excellent (26.21-92.32 %) at 20 mg/ml.

The above observations confirm the role of climate-induced anomalies of surface/ground thermal gradients in controlling calcareous tufa deposition rates.","PeriodicalId":447148,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ecology & Natural Resources","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122973765","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 main aim of the system is to optimize positive interaction between various biological components like trees, shrubs and agricultural crops or animal and between the components and the physical environment, so as to obtain more diversified and more sustainable productive system from the land. The soil fertility potential of the system helps to increase productivity, improve nutrient cycling and also improve the socio-economic status of farmers. Besides to this, agroforestry systems also have a great potential to increase carbon stocks in the soil and certainly merit consideration in mechanisms that propose payments for mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions to reduce climate change. But the negative interaction, such as competition for nutrient, moisture, and light and allelopathy influences the maximum production and protection potential of the system. Therefore, managing the components through selecting comparable species, pruning, mulching, using diversified species and fallowing reduces the negative effect and maximaize the multidisciplinary role of agroforestry.","PeriodicalId":447148,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ecology & Natural Resources","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125129527","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}
