Juniper Publishers Open Access Journal of Ecology Authored by: Oleg Khalidullin Keywords: Mankind; Diverse structure; Diversity; Atmospheric pressure; Temperature; Humidity   Opinion Mankind always of its existence has been related to water and is consumer, considering it a resource for its comfort. Water is a living substance that has developed certain properties according to nature’s assignments. Its main function is mediation in all earthly affairs. Passing through the soil and biota, it undergoes many transformations and goes into the atmosphere with the most diverse structure from each living creature and plant, breathing, various secretions, transpiration of plants. Diversity, volumes, evaporation rate created a special mechanism that determines at each point of the planet strict constants of atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, on which all parameters of the atmospheric state depend: cyclones and anticyclones, movements and winds, charg...

Juniper Publishers Open Access Journal of Ecology Authored by : Karen Braun Keywords: Land rights; Herders; Indigenous peoples, Nomadism, Pastoral Spatial mobility implies a human movement towards resources, by contrast to the occidental-capitalist way of life in which resources are moved to and concentrated in the places where people are located. It is one of the ways that people respond to uncertain and changing environmental conditions. In some arid and highly variable environments there may be no fixed pattern to people’s movements, also known as nomadism. However, mobility takes many other forms, including regular seasonal movements or transhumance, and permanent or semi-permanent movements (‘migration’) [1]. Spatial mobility has long been a livelihood strategy for rangeland peoples, as it was for all the people in the world before agriculture was developed about 10,000 years ago. Although traditional nomadic ways of life are still strong in some areas, they ten...

Juniper Publishers Open Access Journal of Ecology Authored by : Hussein Al-Nasrawi Abstract 44 fungal species were isolated from plant parts submerged in Al-Huwaiza marsh within Iraqi borders, and 7 new first records fungi in Iraq were isolated too, which have been illustrated and described as follows: - Carbosphaerella leptosphaeriodes, Curvularia lunata var.aria, Graphium sp., Helicascus kanaloanus, Leptosphaeria obions, Stagnospora sp. and Ulocladium tuberculatum, Carbosphaerella leptosphaeriodes, Curvularia lunata var.aeria, Graphium sp., Helicascus kanaloanus, Leptosphaeria obions, Stagnospora sp., Ulocladium tuberculatum. Keywords: Fungi; Submerged plants; Marsh; New record; Iraq Introduction Al-Huwaizah marsh is an aquatic ecosystem extend between Iraq and Iran with freshwater body.Al-Huwaizah marsh locates between latitudes 31˚45ˉ and 31˚00ˉ in the north and longitude 47˚50ˉ and 47˚ 25ˉ in the east , passing through Iranian borders , 80km X 30km...

Juniper Publishers Open Access Journal of Ecology and Conservation Science Authored by :   Hagib A Al-Hagibi Abstract The area between Al-Haymah and Al-Mokha on the Red Sea of Yemen is a promising region for future tourism development. It is also characterized by population activities, especially fishing in more than one location and there is a commercial port in Al-Mokha. The aim of the present study is to investigate the distribution of heavy metals (Cu, Cd, Zn, Ni and Pb) and Ecological Risk Assessment to assess the contamination levels of the coastal surface sediments. Distribution and ecological risk for Cu, Cd, Zn, Ni and Pb in sediment samples collected from 11 regions (37 stations) in the coasts of Yemen were studied. The results showed that the most of sediments are sand (83.83%), the content of organic matter was low (1.4%) and rich of calcium carbonate (56.1%) while the heavy metals arranged according to their ab...
