Climate change impact on crop evapotranspiration in Turkey during 21st century
Journal ArticleEvapotranspiration calculation is an important matter due to agricultural reasons, but also for understanding water resources and runoff amount in a certain territory. Two CMIP5 multimodal projections (2011–2040 and 2041–2070) and land-cover pattern were used to analyse the seasonal and annual crop evapotranspiration trend in Turkey. The spatial distribution of crop evapotranspiration related to the initial season, mid-season, end season and cold season were computed through a geographical information system. The maximum crop evapotranspirations were found in the mid-season for present and future, with 1,072 and 1,241 mm respectively. For the future period, an increase in the spatial distribution of crop evapotranspiration was depicted in several places due to climate warming, mainly in the southern and southeastern areas of Turkey and on the Mediterranean coast. The minimum seasonal crop evapotranspirations fell to below 154 and 164 mm in the present and future respectively. The annual crop evapotranspiration increased from 1,675 to 1,944 mm from present to future and the significant values of absolute changes were identified in the western, eastern and southeastern regions of Turkey. The findings are useful for scientists in the climate, hydrology and agriculture fields, but also for management decisions.

Wild mammals in northwestern Libya and the role of rain and temperature in its geographical distribution
مقال في مجلة علميةThis study was conducted on mammals in the western part of the Jafara Plain and on its relationship to environmental factors, such as temperature and rainfall. This study included two parts; the first part is a field study to identify the species of wild mammals in the western part of the Jafara plain and to determine its geographical distribution. The second part of this study included analyzing data of average annual rainfall and average annual temperatures, using the regression equation and the quintile equation for eight urban areas within the region during thirty years, from 1977 to 2006 due to the availability of temperature and precipitation data in this period. The results showed that there are nineteen species of wild mammals in this region belonging to ten families of six orders. The most recorded species belong to the order of rodents (47%) followed by the order of carnivores (26%), then insectivores (10%). Results of environmental changes showed that, the trend in all studied areas was negative and that the amounts of rain were fluctuating, unstable and decreased at a rate between 40 - 125 mm during the thirty years. As for the temperature, it rose during this period between 1.5oC to 2oC. Therefore, it became clear that the change in environmental factors caused an increase in the rate of drought, and this is what threatens the natural vegetation and thus threatens all other organisms, especially wild mammals, which their numbers were few in the driest places on the plain of Jafara. Key words: Mammals, Biodiversity, Temperature, Rain, Libya.

Biomarker Ratios and Stablecarbon Isotopes to Describe Crude Oils Characteristics in the Murzuq Basin (Libya)
Journal ArticleThis present paper includes a detailed evaluation of specific biomarkers together with stable carbon isotope (δ13C) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and Gas Chromatograph– Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (GC–IR–MS). Eight crude oil samples were collected from the A, B, H (east) and H (west) Fields, located in the Murzuq Basin, Libya. Stable Carbon isotope data (δ13C) together with biomarker ratios data of individual hydrocarbons, n-alkanes, isoprenoids, terpenes, hopanes, steranes and aromatic have been determined in crude oils to delineate their bacterial degradation, source facies, organic matter precursors, depositional conditions and a variation of maturation. Based on source-specific parameters including n-C19 alkane, % C27S, %C28S, %C29S, %C23TT, %C30αβ, %rC28, DBT/P, CPI, Pr/Ph, Ts/Tm, dh 30/h 30, 1 MN, 2 MN, 26-27 DMN, 15 DMN, 236 TMN, 146-135 TMN, 125 TMN, 136 TMN ratios and δ13C‰ of saturates and aromatics fractions. Such oils showed non-biodegradation, n-C19 peak proved oils generated from a Lower Palaeozoic source rocks as emphasizedvian-C19 peak, the dominance of C29steranes
over C27 and C28 with light Carbon isotope ratio (δ13C‰) values. The abundances of isosterane C29, C27, C28.Tricyclohexaprenol and bacteriohopane polyols and aminopolyols, recommended as mixture bioprecursors of tricyclic terpenes and hopanes, furthermore regular sterane ratio gives values characteristic of Lower Palaeozoic marine source rocks and holding green algae and most likely a quantity of contribution from acritarchs. Carbon preference indices (CPIs)>0.9 pointed to an anoxic deposition, dibenzothiophene to phenanthrene (DBT/Prange 0.49 - 0.58) recommend a siliciclastic source rather than carbonate and/or evaporate saline deposition. The ratios of CPIs, pristane/n-C17 and phytane/n-C18, n-alkanes (C16 to C22) against (C23 to C33), Ts/Tm, C30diahopane/C30hopane, methylnaphthalene, dimethyl naphthalene and trimethyl naphthalene indicated that the oils analysed are mature except the B Field oil being slightly less mature than the A, H (east) and H (west) Fields oils

Effect of Different Organic Matters on Chemical Properties of Calcareous Soil
Journal ArticleSeries of incubation experiments were conducted to study the effect of three different organic amendments (olive waste, compost and lemon waste) on some chemical properties of calcareous soil. Soil samples were collected from northwestern coast of Egypt (Borg El Arab) from the surface soil (0-30 cm). The samples were then air-dried and then grinded, sieved (2 mm) and analyzed some physical and chemical properties. Samples were used in laboratory experiment, where organic amendments were applied to soil with different rates (0, 0.5 , 1, 1.5 and 2% (w w-1). The prepared pots were incubated for four months at temperature between 23 to 30°C. After 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks of the incubation, the soil samples were taken for analysis soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and total equivalent calcium carbonate. The results showed that compost, olive waste and lemon waste could change the chemical properties of the calcareous soils. All organic amendments caused an increase in soil EC while they slightly decreased soil pH and CaCO3 content. The compost was showed to have effectivity effect on soil pH comparing to other amendments, while lemon waste and olive waste were showed to have effectivity effect on CaCO3 content after few weeks of application. This can be explained on the basis that the olive waste and lemon waste are less biodegradable than that of compost. Finally, it is concluded that olive waste and or lemon waste can be used in preparing any compost to be more useful.

The Main Fauna and Flora of Farwa Island
Conference paperFarwa island is considered as one of the biggest and most important island in Libya: it is located in the Mediterranean north western part of Libya, about 2Km from the Abukamash coast, and it's about 150Km western of Tripoli. It has a suitable climatic condition and unique diverse habitats of extensive tidal area, sand dunes, trees, mud flat, marshes, drying salt lakes, and beaches. The mean annual temperature is 19ºC and the mean annual rainfall reaches 200 mm: these conditions provide a good habitat for many plant and animal species. The most common plant species at this area are: Eucalyptus gomphocephala, Retama retam, Phoenix dac-tylifera, Artemisia campestris, Thymelaea hirsuta, Juncus maritimus, Helicrysum stoe-chas, Tamarix aphylla, Ephedra alata, Citrullus colocynthis, Ziziphus lotus, Lycium europaeum. The most common mammal species seen in Farwa island are Lepus ca-pensis, Vulpes vulpes, Ictonyx libycus, Hystrix cristata. There are many kinds of reptiles like lizards, snakes, and sea turtles. And also there are many kinds of arthropods like beetles, butterflies, moths, ants, bees, wasps, locusts, spiders and scorpions. Water birds form the most important fauna elements in Farwa island. This island is the most important area in Libya for many migratory birds, especially for the birds which are under world wide danger of extinction like Thalasseus bengalensis, Ichthyaetus audouinii, Phalacrocorax aristotelis, Aythya ferina, Numenius tenuirostris. There are many migratory bird species breeding at this island, the most common are Sternula albifrons, Hydroprogne caspia, Sterna hirundo, Tringa tetanus, Larus ca-chinnas, and Charadrius alexandrinus. Fawa Island provides many kinds of birds with proper conditions for nutrition, reproduction, sheltering and wintering, because of its different habitats and convenient climate condition.
