Annual Water Yield Estimation for Different Land Uses by GIS-Based InVEST Model (Case Study: Mish-khas Catchment, Ilam Province, Iran)
Fresh water supply and its security encounter a high level of fluctuating variability under global climate changes. To address these concerns in catchment water management, a good understanding of land use/cover impacts on the hydrological cycle affecting water supply is crucial. The objective of this study is to define a model to investigate the impact of existing land use/cover on water yield...
متن کاملDifferences in forest plant functional trait distributions across land-use and productivity gradients.
PREMISE OF STUDY Plant functional traits are commonly used as proxies for plant responses to environmental challenges, yet few studies have explored how functional trait distributions differ across gradients of land-use change. By comparing trait distributions in intact forests with those across land-use change gradients, we can improve our understanding of the ways land-use change alters the d...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effect of Topographic factors on the distribution of oriental beech in Hyrcanian forest, Iran
Studying the present and future distribution status of important forest species is a prerequisite for the need of conservation programs in order to play their undeniable role in tackling global climate change, land use change and air pollution. The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) in forests of northern Iran under the influence ...

Extended abstract 1- Introduction Changing the forests and pasture landuses to agricultural lands is one of the major global concerns about environmental degradation and climate change. As a result of the rangeland and forest changes into agricultural land and also tillage operations, about 430 million hectares, representing 30% of the world's total plowed land, are annually eroded and leavin...
متن کاملImpacts of urbanization on net primary productivity in the Pearl River Delta, China
Great changes in land use/land cover from rapid urbanization have occurred in the PearlRiver Delta, China. As the primary cause of land development in the urbanization process,urban expansion has mostly occurred on land with higher NPP, significantly impacting theregional ecosystems. The primary purpose of this study was to reveal the impacts of urbanexpansion on the regional NPP. The land cove...
