Microbial use of organic substrates and maize growth, especially in saline and alkaline soils of Pakistani Punjab
(2005-04-18)
This thesis consists of 4 main parts: (1) impact of growing maize on the decomposition of incorporated fresh alfalfa residues, (2) relationships between soil biological and other soil properties in saline and alkaline arable soils from the Pakistani Punjab, (3) decomposition of compost and plant residues in Pakistani soils along a gradient in salinity, and (4) interactions of compost and triple superphosphate on the growth of maize in a saline Pakistani soil. These 4 chapters are framed by a General Introduction and ...

Plant genetic diversity, irrigation and nutrient cycling in traditional mountain oases of northern Oman
(Li, C. J. (u.a.) (Hrsg.), 2005)
Little is known about plant biodiversity, irrigation management and nutrient fluxes as criteria to assess the sustainability of traditional irrigation agriculture in eastern Arabia. Therefore interdisciplinary studies were conducted over 4 yrs on flood-irrigated fields dominated by wheat (Triticum spp.), alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) in two mountain oases of northern Oman. In both oases wheat landraces consisted of varietal mixtures comprising T. aestivum and T. durum of which ...

Nutrient cycling and field-based partial nutrient balances in two mountain oases of Oman
(2005)
Little is known about nutrient fluxes as a criterion to assess the sustainability of traditional irrigation agriculture in eastern Arabia. In this study GIS-based field research on terraced cropland and groves of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) was conducted over 2 years in two mountain oases of northern Oman to determine their role as hypothesized sinks for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). At Balad Seet 55% of the 385 fields received annual inputs of 100–500 kg N ha^-1 and 26% received 500–1400 kg ...

Agricultural, architectural and archaeological evidence for the role and ecological adaptation of a scattered mountain oasis in Oman
(2005)
The recent discovery of the monumental 5000 years old tower tombs on top of the up to 1850 m high Shir plateau has raised numerous questions about the economic and infrastructural basis of the agro-pastoral-piscicultural society which likely has constructed them. The scattered oasis settlement of Maqta, situated just below the towers in a rugged desert environment has therefore been studied from 2001 to 2003 to understand its prehistoric and present role along the ancient trade route which connected the inner-Omani ...

A survey of wheat landraces in Oman
(2005)
Little is known about the diversity of wheat (Triticum spp.) in Oman. Therefore, a survey was conducted in northern Oman to collect landraces of Triticum durum, T. aestivum and T. dicoccon for subsequent morphological characterization and investigations on stress adaptation. The results show that the cultivation of these landraces (the genetic composition of which remains to be studied in more detail) is done primarily by traditional farmers who preserve the inherited germplasm on often tiny plots in remote mountain ...
Dissertation
Lebensmittelqualität zwischen Geschmack und Zeichen
(2005-05-10)
Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, Lebensmittelqualität am Beispiel von Speisequark aus hofeigener und industrieller Verarbeitung mit natur- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Methoden zu erfassen bzw. zu betrachten. Das Neue dieser interdisziplinären Arbeit lag in der Entwicklung von Verbindungen zwischen hedonischen/sensorischen, ökologischen und kulturellen Qualitäten von Speisequark. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit wurde eine sensorische Schulung für die hofeigene Milchverarbeitung entwickelt und erprobt, um die Ergebnisse ...
