agriculture and overgrazing and it affects up to 1/3 of the world’s people. The United States is not freed from the negative impact that overgrazing has on our soil capability to continue supporting crops and livestock. The overgrazing has impacted the semi-arid Midwestern states and ranchers know about the need to rotate livestock from site to site to conserve grass cover and soil fertility. Today, more ranchers are searching for ways to raise livestock more sustainably while taking care of the…
vulpes, the most widely distributed carnivores, found across the earth apart from Antarctica. Three species of foxes occurs in the different habitats of Indian sub-continent. Indian fox (Vulpes bengalensis) found throughout the Deccan peninsula, arid and semi-arid bio-geographic region of India, Tibetan fox (Vulpes ferrilata) found in Tibetan plateau of north India and the Red fox (Vulpes vulpes) distributed from hot desert of Rajasthan and Gujarat to cold desert of trans-Himalaya and temperate…
waterway known as the Goyder Channel. As the focal point of the Lake Eyre Basin which covers about 1 million square kilometres, it has several rivers and tributaries which feed into it. However, since Lake Eyre Basin is primarily located in an arid or semi-arid environment, this means that the rainfall in this area is quite sporadic and the river passageways are often…
Climate The effect of climate on soil formation cannot be ignored, there is a strong correlation between climate and soil properties. Linguistically climate is the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period (1). The most important climatic components are Moisture and Temperature which effect due to its amount and seasonal distribution. The kind of climate determine the nature of weathering process and the rate of physical and chemical processes forming the…
Irrigation agriculture in arid regions is by no means unique to the Sonoran Desert, or even the Americas for that matter, we see it in across the Middle East and perhaps most notably in Egypt. Though the benefits of using irrigation for agriculture were undoubtedly great, there…
federal government were exploring, mapping and bringing back to an eager public audience the wonders of geysers, fogged peaks, and miles and miles of treeless plains. The last and perhaps most wondrous area of the frontier to be explored lay south in the arid canyonlands of thePlateau Region — The Colorado River and its Grand Canyon. Unlike many of the inhabited regions in…
Pakistan, mainly due to mass unawareness within the political culture of the country. Studies from the Pakistan Metrological Department shows dramatic changes in Pakistan’s climate, such as; 10 to 15% decrease in rainfall in the coastal belts and hyper arid plains, 18-32% increase in rainfall in the monsoons zone, especially in the sub-humid and humid areas 0.5 to 0.7% increase in solar radiation over southern half of the country, 3 to 5% decrease in cloud cover in Central Pakistan, with…
In the middle kingdom things took a change for the worst (Lesko). With the arid topography around them they weren’t used to armed conflict they didn’t even make weapons because no one else was there to fight with them, until the middle kingdom when semitic nomads came down from mesopotamia and changed egyptian women and social class forever by the weaving of cultures. The mesopotamian culture was that women were garbage and had to be bought and were nowhere near equal, so all of that comes down…
2015. Pakistan is facing many environmental problem Pakistan has a large areas of semi-arid region. Semi-arid is more rainfall than arid regions. In spite of it Pakistan is facing water resource shortfalls because of extreme climate variation in semi-arid regions. There is fertile land in semi-arid regions. Various agriculture activities is Pakistan financial backbone. Because of climate variation in semi-arid region of Pakistan agriculture system is much affected. So Pakistan economic system…
The resulting humidity degrees are so low that precipitation quantities can be much like maximum deserts. In fact, climatologists have defined the ice cap weather as a "polar wasteland". Semiarid weather is continually discovered at the outer edge of Arid climate areas. the two colors within the map represent bloodless and warm Semiarid climate areas. consider Semiarid as a transition climate between dry and wetter places. those areas may be very dangerous. They from time to time obtain…
