Over the years, Nigerian tropical rainforest has become the main source of timber supply to many countries which were in critical need of timber to feed their wood-based industries. The increase in population has led to increase in the demands for forest products, specifically wood for construction. Improper harvesting practices has substantially degraded the tropical forest that...

It is possible to classify mushrooms as edible, inedible and poisonous. The present study aimed to determine the antioxidant potential of Gyrodon lividus (Bull.) Sacc., an edible mushroom species Thus, total antioxidant status (TAS) and total oxidant status (TOS) of mushroom ethanol extracts were determined and oxidative stress index was calculated based on TAS and TOS findings...

Our study focuses on the archaeobotanical analyses of 2014 season of the Sumaki Höyük, which is located east of Beşiri town in Batman province. It was excavated within the framework of Ilısu Dam and HES project by the Batman Museum at the charge of Dr. Aslı Erim Özdoğan. Sumaki Höyük yields Late Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (LPPNB) and Early Pottery Neolithic, namely Pre-Proto Hassuna...

Five new surfactants derived from Sudanese Jatropha oil were synthesized. Three of them, namely: Surfactant-1 (SF-1), Surfactant-2 (SF-2) and Surfactant-3 (SF-3) were methyl ester sulphonate of Jatropha oil from different locations of South Kordofan, Ad-Damazin and Al Qadarif, respectively. Surfactant-4 (SF-4) and Surfactant-5 (SF-5) were ethyl ester and soap produced from South...
This research was done determine the effect of increasing leonardite applications on dry matter yield and some nutrient element contents of rye (Secale cerale L.) plant. For this purpose a pot experiment was done in greenhouse conditions with three replications. Five leonardite doses (L0: 0 kgda-1, L1: 50 kgda-1, L2: 100 kgda-1, L3: 150 kgda-1 and L4: 200 kgda-1) were applied to...
Ornamental plant enterprise contributes to income generation and socio-economic development of a state, but due to paucity of information on its cost-benefit analysis, it has not been embraced as a viable business venture in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. This study therefore, examined the profitability of ornamental plant business in the state. Forty-two ornamental plant nursery...
In the recent decades, in Norway spruce forests have been reported ecological imbalances caused by red deer by bark-stripping, with a great impact on stability and productivity of the stand. When the economic efficiency of the Norway spruce stands starts to decrease, due to the wood volume with stem decay, an ecological restoration of this ecosystems is imposed. This study...
Geostatistical methods are widely used for evaluation of spatial variations of terrestrial ecosystems. Spatial variation of forest ecosystems can provide considerable implications for sustainable management of forest resources. In addition, knowledge on spatial variation of forest soils is necessary for an adequate understanding of the soil's role on forest vegetation and making...
