The document proposes mechanisms for introducing native plant species in landscaping projects in Abu Dhabi. It discusses preparing reliable indexes of native plant species organized by family, habitat, and characteristics. It also proposes establishing a native plant research station. The goals are to increase the percentage of native species used in landscaping from the current 35-37% to preserve native plants and resources and strengthen sustainability.
The document discusses climate changes observed over the past century in the Arabian Gulf area. It notes an increase in temperature of 0.65°C with warming in summer but little change in winter. There was no warming in the first 60 years but accelerated warming in the last 40 years. Precipitation declined slightly. Many of these observed changes are consistent with predictions of climate models for a doubling of carbon dioxide levels. The analysis aims to help decision makers with policymaking regarding climate change in the region.
The document discusses potential native plant species for landscaping in hot and arid GCC climate to reduce pressure on limited water resources. It lists over 100 native species found in the GCC region, providing their scientific names, heights, spreads, and survival rates. Some key benefits highlighted are that native species are well-suited to local conditions, require little maintenance once established, and support biodiversity by providing food and habitat for pollinators. However, the document also notes some problems, such as a lack of commercial nurseries specialized in indigenous plants and information about propagating and storing seeds of native desert species.
The document discusses Qatar's efforts to conserve plant genetic resources through its gene bank. It notes that Qatar has diverse halophyte flora adapted to saline soils. The gene bank has collected over 210 seed accessions and 2,800 herbarium specimens representing 46 families and 117 genera. It aims to conserve biodiversity, support food security, and restore degraded lands through ex situ conservation of seeds and molecular characterization of genetic resources. The gene bank also provides training, documents resources, and raises awareness of threats to biodiversity and plant genetic resources.
The document provides information about the Arabian Peninsula, the birthplace of Islam. It is located in the northern hemisphere and western hemisphere. The peninsula experiences extreme temperatures and is home to many deserts, including the Nafud, Syrian, and Empty Quarter deserts. Transportation is primarily by camel and horse. Wildlife includes gazelle, lizards, oryx, cats, and hyenas. Vegetation is adapted to the dry, salty conditions and includes date palms and saltbush. Cultural adaptations include clothing, tents that are easy to assemble and disassemble, and religious customs.

hydrogen powered car and its application and its parts workingHemanth kumar
This document discusses hydrogen cars and their potential advantages over traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. It describes how hydrogen cars work by breaking down hydrogen to power the vehicle through a fuel cell. BMW initiated a project to test a hydrogen-powered BMW 7 that could accelerate from 0-60 mph in 9.5 seconds. The document outlines some key components of a hydrogen car like the hydrogen tank, fuel cell, and power control unit. It also notes several automakers working on hydrogen vehicle technologies and highlights advantages like zero emissions and independence from foreign oil.

This study analyzed soil and water samples from mangrove stands and adjacent bare areas in Abu Dhabi to understand factors influencing mangrove habitat. The following were observed:
1) Salt concentrations in surface soil (0-5 cm) within mangrove stands were lower than deeper soils, likely due to leaching by tides and root absorption.
2) Salt concentrations in water covering mangrove stands were higher than adjacent bare areas, possibly because plant density slowed water movement during tides.
3) Highest densities of natural regeneration were found in shallow, protected areas with moderate water currents.
This document discusses proper pruning techniques for trees. It begins by defining various pruning terms and describing the structure of tree branches. The author explains that pruning wounds trees but they can recover through compartmentalization. Common pruning mistakes like flush cuts, stub cuts, and topping are described and illustrated. Topping is strongly discouraged as it damages the tree structure and stimulates undesired growth. Alternative pruning methods and the benefits of proper pruning for tree health, safety, and aesthetics are provided. The document emphasizes that qualified arborists should perform pruning on mature trees.

Pesticide Management in Abu Dhabi 2013 - Regulatory Roles and ResponsibilitiesAbdul-Sattar Al-Mashhadani
The document outlines the regulatory framework and roles and responsibilities for pesticide management in Abu Dhabi, UAE. It details the main stages of pesticide control, assigning responsibilities to entities like the Ministry of Environment and Water, Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority, Center of Waste Management, and others. Regulations cover pesticide registration, supplier licensing, residue monitoring in food, and safe disposal of containers. The ultimate aim is an integrated system for pesticide management to protect public health and the environment from misuse of these hazardous materials.
Al Mashhadani with the PRFD team reviewed landscape concept designs submitted by many developer and consulting companies from 2006 to 2014. This included projects like the Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Mosque, irrigation networks in Al Shati City and various parks, the North-Wathba City master plan, resorts and communities, street designs, hospitals, and parks in Abu Dhabi city and Khalifa City. The team provided revisions to landscape materials, plant compositions, and streetscape preliminary designs.
This document is the United Arab Emirates' third national communication to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. It summarizes the country's greenhouse gas emissions and efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change impacts. The communication was prepared by a team of scientists and experts coordinated by the Ministry of Energy. It describes the UAE's climate, economy, energy sector and policies to respond to threats from rising seas, reduced rainfall and more extreme weather. Key findings include that the UAE's total greenhouse gas emissions have increased significantly from 1994 to 2007 due primarily to growth in the energy and transportation sectors. The country is taking innovative actions to prepare for climate change and considers protecting future generations a moral obligation.

1. The document discusses the importance and benefits of windbreaks and shelterbelts for protecting cities, highways, and agricultural areas from wind damage in Abu Dhabi.
2. It defines shelterbelts as rows of trees and shrubs planted to reduce wind speed and outlines different designs from permeable to impermeable based on tree spacing.
3. The height and density of windbreaks determine their effectiveness, with semi-permeable designs using 3-5 rows at 3-4 meter spacing being most effective at reducing winds and protecting areas out to 30 times the shelterbelt height.
