چکیده

It is observed that big trees are older than little trees and there are more little trees than big trees since not every little tree grows up to be a big tree most die young. But seeds produced and shed by the bigger trees will naturally form little trees. It can also be noticed that there are some dead needles and leaves on the ground and some standing dead trees which will eventually fall to the soil, the result of the deaths of those young trees and plant parts. It is natural that the live trees have roots in the soil formed partly from those dead leaves and logs and surmise that the trees obtain some nutrients from them Mangroves are the forests positioned at the convergence of land and Sea in inter tidal zones of the world. Mangrove forests are architecturally simple when compared to rainforests, often lacking under storey of leafs and shrubberies and are generally less species rich than other tropical forests. Mangroves have been heavily used traditionally for food, timber, fuel and medicine, and presently occupy about 181000 km2 of tropical and subtropical coastline. Mangroves are a precious ecological and economic resource, being vital nursery grounds and breeding sites for birds, fish, crustaceans, shellfish, reptiles,Polychaete, Crabs, Prawn, Zooplankton and mammals; a renewable source of wood; accrual sites for sediment, contaminants, carbon and nutrients; and offer Fortification against coastal erosion. Major reasons for obliteration of mangroves are urban development, aquaculture, mining and over exploitation for timber, fish, crustaceans and shellfish.

Using ecological niche modeling to determine avian richness hotspots

Understanding distributions of wildlife species is a key step towards identifying biodiversity hotspots and designing effective conservation strategies. In this paper, the spatial pattern of diversity of birds in Golestan Province, Iran was estimated. Ecological niche modeling was used to determine distributions of 144 bird species across the province using a maximum entropy algorithm. Richness...

Modeling of species richness by macro ecological methods (MEM) and Stacked Species Distribution Models (S-SDM) in Rangelands

Species richness is a simple and interpretable indicator of biodiversity and is one of the most important and and practical measurements in the rangeland ecosystems. Experimental models of richness are used to determine the points of richness of suitable and unsuitable species, and the factors affecting it. The aim of this study is to compare two methods of modeling species richness S-SDM and M...

Ecological Niche Modeling of Mountain Vipers from the Raddei Clade in Iran, Caucasus and Eastern Turkey

Mountain vipers of the genus Montivipera, generally, and the species of the Raddei clade, specifically, are interesting examples of species neo-endemism in Iran, Anatolia, and the Caucasus. Given the critical conservation status of these species, it is necessary to identify their suitable habitats for prioritizing conservation measures. We modeled ecological niche of each species based on four ...

Predicting the Climatic Ecological Niche of Artemisia aucheri Boiss in Central Iran using Species Distribution Modeling

Changes in the geographical distribution of plants are one of the major impacts of the climate change. This study was aimed to predict the potential changes in the distribution of Artemisia aucheri Boiss in Isfahan rangelands. Therefore, six bioclimatic variables and two physiographic variables were used under the Generalized Linear Model (GLM), Flexible Denotative Analysis (FDA), Surface Range...
