Effects of biocontrol bacteria and earthworms on the severity of Alternaria brassicae disease and the growth of oilseed rape plants
(Elsevier, 2017-04)
Biological control of plant diseases through the addition of microbial biocontrol agents and the promotion of
earthworms can be an environmentally friendly alternative to the chemical control of plant diseases. ...

Measuring the role of seagrasses in regulating sediment surface elevation
(Scientific Reports, 2017-09)
Seagrass meadows provide numerous ecosystem services and their rapid global loss may reduce human
welfare as well as ecological integrity. In common with the other ‘blue carbon’ habitats (mangroves
and tidal marshes) ...
Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Five Hot Springs in Eritrea
(IISTE, 2017-07)
Eritrea has a number of hot springs whose physicochemical characteristics are not documented. This study
examined the thermal and chemical features of five hot springs located in the eastern escarpment of Eritrea. Field
data ...
