The Effect of Different Land Uses on New Indices of Soil Quality in Central Alborz Region

Different land uses have various effects on the changes of soil properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of natural forest, needle-leaved plantation and rangelands of central Alborz on new indices of soil quality (i.e. organic matter stratification, carbon management index and soil biological activities). For this purpose, eight samples from organic layer (litter) and m...

[Use of phytotherapy as a form of ethnoveterinary medicine in the area of Stara planina mountain in Serbia].

Ethnoveterinary medicine (EVM) considers implementation of folk knowledge and skills in animal health care, production and breeding. Also it means understanding of diagnostic, preventive, therapeutic skills and treatments in order to improve public health. EVM has a wide importance in the organic farming and environmental protection. Our studied geographic area is important because it is inhabi...

Estimation of Stormwise Sediment Yield of Gully Erosion Using Important Rainfall Components in Different Land Uses of Zagros Forest, Iran

Erosion is one of the important social-economic problems in Iraniancatchments that have been posed by surface water vastness and runoff production. So, thestudy of water resources, soil erosion and effective factors is of high importance. Gullyerosion also extends in many parts of Iran and its study particularly in viewpoint ofsediment yield is therefore very important and should be taken into ...

Out of the alps: the biogeography of a disjunctly distributed mountain butterfly, the almond-eyed ringlet Erebia alberganus (Lepidoptera, Satyrinae).

Many studies on the biogeography of thermophilic and arctic-alpine species were performed during the past. Only little is known about species with intermediate characteristics. We analyzed the molecular biogeography of the butterfly Erebia alberganus (30 populations, representing 1106 individuals), sampled over the Alps, Apennines (Italy), and the Stara Planina (Bulgaria) using allozyme electro...
