Scientists Link Toxic Algae to Warm Water

 Scientists Link Toxic Algae to Warm Water

 

In the northern hemisphere's winter of 2013-2014 an unusual patch of warm water appeared in the northern Pacific ocean. Scientists dubbed it "the blob" and it persisted over the region until this year. At its largest, the blob was about 1,600 kilometers long, 1,600 km wide and 91 meters deep, and temperatures averaged about 2 degrees Celsius above normal. A Deadly Warmth The problem was that warm water carries a lot less nutrients than cold water and the practical...

Revenue from Sale of Agricultural Tractors in Egypt is Estimated to Cross USD 100 million in Near F

 Revenue from Sale of Agricultural Tractors in Egypt is Estimated to Cross USD 100 million in Near F   Business,Automotive Egypt is highly vulnerable to changes derived from climatic conditions; this due to the large and tightly packed population as climate change makes Egypt’s weather drier and warmer, resulting in rising pressure on agriculture. Increased temperature over the years has caused much higher water demand for summer crops. Due to this, water scarcity in Egypt is projected to increase rather than decrease. Agriculture and food security is highly vulnerable to variability in temperature and water scarcity with the risk of approximately 50% decrease in food production. The most important soil for wheat production is found along the Delta and flood plain of the River Nile, which are stratified loams or clays. They have pH value ranging from 8.1 to 8.3. These soils have high potential for irrigated crops. Perennial irrigation enabled farmers to plant corn during May-J...
