Spatiotemporal relationships between remotely sensed soil moisture and NDVI in semi-arid areas of Morocco by coupling SMOS and MODIS products Open
Soil moisture is the most important parameter for vegetation growth and greenness in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of soil moisture variations on vegetation conditions in the center o…
Investigation of heavy metal contamination and ecological and health risks in farmland soils from southeastern phosphate plateaus of Khouribga (Morocco) Open
The present study was conducted in the SE area of phosphate plateaus (Khouribga) located in central Morocco. It attempted to assess the heavy metal (HM) (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn) contamination in the farmland soils and their potential ecologica…
Assessment of Water Cloud Model based on SAR and optical satellite data for surface soil moisture retrievals over agricultural area Open
Water availability to plants a significant role in agricultural areas, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. This research aimed to evaluate the potential of Water Cloud Model (WCM) for retrieving surface soil moisture, which is associat…
Spatial Mapping of Heavy Metals Using Lichen Bioaccumulation Capacity to Assess Air Contamination in Morocco Open
Spatial mapping of the distribution of heavy metals was performed with the Inverse Distance Weighted technique (IDW) of ArcGis-10 information system (GIS).We propose an innovative study based on information system technology and lichen bio…
Geotechnical studies for Landslide susceptibility in the high basin of the Oum Er Rbia river (Morocco) Open
In the high basin of Oum Er Rbia in the Middle Atlas Mountain, the steep slopes with inherent soil lead to the formation of landslides, which could pose danger to road infrastructure and buildings. Evenly the heavy rains exceeding the satu…
GIS-multicriteria evaluation using AHP for landslide susceptibility mapping in Oum Er Rbia high basin (Morocco) Open
Background High basin of Oum Er Rbia River, which is located in Middle Atlas Mountain region, is prone to landslide problems due to the geological features combined with the climate change and human activities. The present work including i…
