While tillage of agricultural lands has been used extensively, its utilization for restoring degraded semi-natural lands is rare. This study was conducted in the arid southern Israel in a shrubland which has faced severe degradation processes over ti...

Two zoogenic deposits from the central part of the Negev Desert (Israel) were investigated by stable isotopes (carbon 13C/12C and nitrogen 15N/14N) and pollen analyses. The merger of these data and results of radiocarbon dating of Atzmaut and Ramon I...

We examined fungal communities in soil profiles of 0–10 cm depth along the altitudinal gradient of 250–530–990 m.a.s.l. at the Central Negev Desert, Israel, which benefit from similar annual precipitation (95 mm). In the soil sample...

Motivated by poor forecasting of a deadly convective event within the Levant, the factor separation technique was used to investigate the impact of non-local versus local moisture sources on simulated precipitation and lightning rates in central and...

Soil moisture content (SMC) down to the root zone is a major factor for the efficient cultivation of agricultural crops, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Precise SMC can maximize crop yields (both quality and quantity), prevent crop damage,...

For the first time, chromium disulphides, known from meteorites, such as caswellsilverite, NaCrS2; grokhovskyite, CuCrS2; and a potentially new mineral, AgCrS2, as well as the products of their alteration, such as schöllhornite, Na0.3CrS2∙...

Zoharite (IMA 2017-049), (Ba,K)6 (Fe,Cu,Ni)25S27, and gmalimite (IMA 2019-007), ideally K6□Fe2+24S27, are two new sulfides of the djerfisherite group. They were discovered in an unusual gehlenite–wollastonite paralava with pyrrhotite nodu...
