Seed conservation is an important activity and strategy of preserving, saving and conserving our plant biological resources mostly in the form of seeds both at national and international level. several organizations, agencies, institutes and many are involved in conservation of rare and endangered species realizing their importance in very existence of mankind now and also in future. There are two broad approaches namely in situ conservation and ex situ conservation. Little effort is done to brief some of the techniques to conserve biological resources here in this presentation.

The variability among living organisms from all sources including terrestrial, marine, and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are a part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems
Life on earth is dependent on plants, which are a crucial component of all ecosystems. Not only they are the basis of world food, but also can provide us fuel, clothes and medicine and play a major role in atmosphere and water purification and prevention of soil erosion. Plants are part of our natural heritage and it is our responsibility to preserve and protect them for future generations.
It is estimated that up to 100,000 plants, representing more than one third of all the world's plant species, are currently threatened or face extinction in the wild. In Europe, particularly, biodiversity is seriously threatened. Biotechnological approaches offer several conservation possibilities which have the potential to support in situ protection strategies and provide complementary conservation options.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

22. Why is it important to understand
seed-air moisture relations?
• Seed storage behaviour – response to water
removal
• Seed ripening – maturation drying
• Seed viability – impact of seed moisture
status on seed longevity
• Seed drying – how seeds dry, monitoring
seed moisture status
23. Water in seeds
•Determining seed
equilibrium humidity
(eRH) using a digital
humidity sensor
• Air and seed at
equilibrium inside
chamber
25. Sun/Shade drying
Sun drying in thin layers in
open crates allowing
plenty of air movement.

•Specifically designed for purpose,
taking into account maximum
• seed loading (cleaned & un
cleaned seed) and several other
factors.

28. Cooled incubators
(incubator driers)
•Cost effective way of drying small amounts
(up to 10 kg) of seed
•Usually run at 18ºC, giving an RH of ~15%.
•Dries 10kg of fresh seeds to 7% mc in ~ 3
weeks
•Incubator must run with refrigeration system
on constantly and must have auto defrost.

30. Drying with desiccants:
silica gel bin drier
•Use a suitable container with a
tightly fitting lid (e.g. a plastic box or
plastic / metal drum).
•Add 20% by (container) volume
dried (10 - 20% RH) silica gel.
•Place bags of seed in container
•Check the RH of the silica gel
weekly; if too high, oven dry a quarter
part at 100ºC and re-mix with the
remaining gel.
•Drying time (~one month) depends on the initial
moisture content of the seeds, the amount of seeds,
the type of seeds and the dryness of the silica gel.

32. What is ‘viability’?
• A viable seed is a living seed that has the
capability of germinating
• Empty seeds and seeds without embryos are
non-viable but they should not be called dead
seeds because they never were viable
• Dead seeds are seeds that were viable but
have subsequently died

33. Why should seed viability be
determined?
1. It is very important that seeds stored in the genebank are
capable of producing plants when sown in the field.
2. They must have high viability at the start of storage and
maintain it during storage.
3. Seeds with a high initial viability will also survive longer in
storage.
4. Seed viability declines slowly at first and then rapidly as seeds
age.
5. It is important to know when this decline occurs in order to
take action to regenerate the accession. Excessive deterioration
will lead to loss of material.
