“…which are able to inhibit spore germination and block appressorium formation (Rhouma et al, 2016;El-Debaiky, 2018;Rhouma et al, 2018). Increasing concerns for the public health and environment pollution have caused growers to search for an alternative strategy to control this disease (Esh et al, 2011;Rhouma et al, 2020). In addition, about $32-$45 million is spent annually of fungicides worldwide to control Alternaria sp.…”

“…Population growth within oasis communities can lead to increased pressure on limited resources such as water, land, and vegetation. As populations expand, there is a greater demand for agricultural land and water for irrigation, potentially leading to overexploitation and environmental degradation (Rhouma et al, 2020;Yi et al, 2023b).

Revitalizing oasis agriculture, an age-old human endeavor, has historically played a crucial role in sustaining biodiversity and ecosystems in arid regions. Nevertheless, this enduring practice now faces contemporary challenges, including global warming, water scarcity, soil erosion, and negative human activities associated with urbanization. This comprehensive review delves into diverse literature across disciplines, covering topics such as water conservation, biodiversity restoration, agroforestry, and Oasis Holistic Management, with the aim of addressing these challenges. The analysis strongly advocates for the urgent adoption of sustainable practices, including precision irrigation, polyculture, organic farming, agroforestry, and community-based initiatives, to ensure the survival of oasis agriculture and foster long-term environmental and social responsibility. The study underscores the imperative need for the development of “comprehensive, flexible, and forward-looking management strategies” to guide the sustainable revival of oasis farming. By consolidating information from various studies, it lays the groundwork for informed decision-making and policy formulation. As part of revitalizing the oasis agricultural ecosystem and addressing the global climate crisis, we propose a noninvasive tool for assessing carbon sequestration effectiveness based on tree specifications. Recognizing the pivotal role of vegetation in mitigating the ecological impact and facing global crises, we explored parameters influencing plant carbon sequestration, including biomass production, growth rate, longevity, root structure, leaf structure, and average temperature tolerance.

“…[11] recorded the expansion of urbanization within Chinese rural areas and the degradation of rural integrity. In Tunisia, weather and farmlands have affected the rural areas of the Mediterranean coasts [12,13], resulting in the disturbance of landscapes. These have led to the dissolution of rural villages, the regression of landscapes, and the migration of populations to urban zones [11,14].…”

This study aimed to investigate the changes in the landscapes and land cover in the villages of the Ziz Valley from 1965 to 2023. Equally, we evaluated the potential of sustainable tourism in these rural regions with a SWOT analysis. The obtained results showed that the landscapes were deeply changed, with a dominance of farmlands and the appearance of the Ziz reservoir. Rural villages near Errachidia were replaced after the flood of 1965. Errachidia’s urbanization increased by 400% and overflowed into certain villages, while the availability of water encouraged the rise of farms. The villages near the city became urbanized, resulting in the development of business zones and tourism destinations that offered the locals bright futures. In contrast to cluster A, the SWOT analysis reveals that strengths exceed vulnerabilities in cluster B and C villages. Despite the alteration of ancient and natural landscapes, the potential for rural tourism appears to be stronger in the villages included in clusters B and C.
