“…Most threats come from a lack of awareness of their environmental value, weak law enforcement, lack of suitable strategies, weak financial support and lack of stakeholder cooperation. Human activities have a large impact on biodiversity and the environment (Ghosh et al, 2021). For example, the small populations of Juniperus phoenicea at Gabal El‐Maghara and Gabal Yelleq in North Sinai were under intensive cutting and burning (El‐Bana et al, 2010), while the mortality of Acacia trees in the eastern desert was due to charcoal production (Andersen & Krzywinski, 2007).…”

The present study aims at determining the phytogeographical distribution and economic potential and documenting the degree of risk to the extinction of tree species, and the changes these species have undergone over the past 20 years. Field surveys were conducted at many locations in Egypt between January 2017 and March 2020. From each location, GPS coordinates were taken and the number of individuals was estimated. Also, specimens and seed samples for each species were collected from different habitats as can as possible. Other data were collected through herbaria visits and existing literature. The recorded taxa were arranged alphabetically according to Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system (APG IV). Evaluation of conservation status was based on IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria. In the present study, we applied Criterion B that concerns the geographical range in the form of both B1 (extent of occurrence: EOO) and B2 (area of occupancy: AOO). Calculations of both AOO and EOO and the assessment process were assisted using the GeoCAT software. Fifty‐seven taxa were recorded, and most of them occur in Elbanian sector. Among them, five alien species were recorded. Many taxa offered economic goods such as medicinal, timber and fuel values; and environmental services as shaders and phytoremediators. Fifty taxa suffered from over‐collecting and over‐cutting. Among the 52 native trees in the present study, 31 taxa are evaluated as threatened with extinction; 10 taxa are Critically Endangered, 16 are Endangered and 5 are Vulnerable. There are two taxa assessed as Near Threatened and 15 as Least Concern. On the contrary, four taxa fall in the category of Data Deficient. There are 28 in situ conserved taxa in the protected areas. Also, 28 taxa are under ex situ conservation. In conclusion, land‐use patterns, climate change and human impact lead to put about 61% of the trees in Egypt under threat of extinction. Consequently, nature conservation organisations should take an action towards the conservation of these valuable taxa.

“…Moreover, those plant communities with dense vegetation cover had a silt loam texture with the highest clay and silt content (14.7 ± 2.13 and 44.4 ± 2.03%, respectively). Comparing the particles size of sand grains with silt or clay, sand grains have larger particle size than those of silt and clay particles – implying that clay particles have larger surface area compared to sand [ 47 , 48 ]. Moreover, clay particles can accommodate more C to be stored since their particles has larger surface area and high electrostatic force [ 49 ].…”

“…As a result, removing furfural before discharging it into receiving resources is vital for both human and environmental health. Because of its better efficiency and possible benefits over conventional treatment methods, the advanced oxidation process (AOP) has gained attention as a promising technology for eliminating furfural and other organic contaminants from wastewater [ [6] , [7] , [8] ]. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) rely on the production of extremely reactive hydroxyl radicals (OH°), which may successfully oxidize and degrade furfural molecules into simpler and less toxic chemicals.…”
