متن کاملHabitat suitability modeling of water birds and waders in Hamun wetland by by Maximum Entropy model
Climate change and human activities have increased negative pressure on natural ecosystems. Wetlands are such ecosystems that widely affected by these negative changes. Birds as a part of wildlife in a wetland have damaged by destruction of wetlands, so, a large group of them, are at risk of extinction. Habitat destruction in wetlands in arid and semi-arid areas has more negative effects on the...
متن کاملScience Priorities for Seamounts: Research Links to Conservation and Management
Seamounts shape the topography of all ocean basins and can be hotspots of biological activity in the deep sea. The Census of Marine Life on Seamounts (CenSeam) was a field program that examined seamounts as part of the global Census of Marine Life (CoML) initiative from 2005 to 2010. CenSeam progressed seamount science by collating historical data, collecting new data, undertaking regional and ...

Iran, a 4-season land in the world, is located in semi-arid part of Asia. There are several geographical climates in this country, which are the main causes for the existence of diverse ecological conditions. In the north, where the Caspian Sea meets the land, there are three provinces. One of these, Guilan province, (the studied area) is located in the southwest of the Caspian with different g...
