| dc.description | The document is structured as a visual-technical profile of Al Uyun National Park and includes maps, photographs, and thematic environmental analyses. It outlines the park's geomorphology, hydrology, and ecological gradients using UN-standard map layouts. Page 1 introduces the ecological setting, describing terrain types, dominant vegetation, and the role of the central lake as a habitat for resident and migratory bird species. Subsequent sections (pages 2–8) provide spatial assessments of topography, vegetation distribution (notably Tamarix aucheriana, Phragmites australis, Haloxylon spp., Vachellia tortilis), soil moisture variations, temperature regimes, ombrothermic patterns, and floodplain delineation. The document serves as a technical reference for environmental monitoring, restoration planning, and protected-area management within the Eastern Province. | |
| dc.description.abstract | This brochure provides a concise technical overview of Al Uyun National Park, located in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia near Al Ahsa. It presents key environmental characteristics through descriptive text, thematic maps, and field photography. The document highlights the park’s semi-arid ecological setting, the central lake fed by the D1 agricultural drainage canal, and the transition between desert and oasis landscapes. The content offers a detailed description of vegetation communities, hydrological conditions, soil moisture distribution, and climatic patterns relevant to ecosystem assessment and management. The brochure further analyses spatial variability in land surface temperature, plant community composition, floodplain zones, and topography using geospatial datasets (Sentinel-2, Landsat 8, SRTM). It supports planners, technicians, and conservation professionals by providing synthesized data essential for restoration, biodiversity conservation, and protected-area planning within Al Uyun National Park. | |
