Desertification intensty assessment of Lar city area

Authors

Abstract:

Now days desertification of lands in phenomelal that threaded different region of world specially arid, semi arid and semi-arid humid. In this research whit using of two Irainian new methods: IMDPA that is based on geometric sum and MICD that is based on arithmetic sum. Desertification capacity of Lar city area during recent half century (from 1995 to 2005) has considered with emphasis on factor of urbanization and industrial development. For this purpose as region situation was used following five indexes: the ratio of the potential population acceptance to actual population, the raito of residential and industrial lands to horticultural and agricultural lands, road and mine density, and percapital green areas. Finally studies showed in IMDPA method 43.79 persent of total region (hectare 4348.67) in low class of desertification, 35.01 persent (hectare 3476.62) in medal class, 21.09 persent (hectare 2049.21) in severe class and 0.11 persent (hectare 10.54) which it sets to the high severe desertification. Whereas in MICD method 43.8 persent of total region (hectare 4349.12) in low class desertification, 26.38 persent (hectare 2619.92) in medal class and 29.82 persent (hectare 2961) which it sets to the severe desertification. Ingeneral as for scoring method in MICD through indexes Pirewise comparison with done Analytical Hierarchy Process, this model has peresented more acceptable results from desertification to IMDPA model that is more near to the realty.

Quantitative inversion of sparse vegetation coverage in desertification area

Based on unmixing model and using the Thematic Mapper (TM) image as well as obtaining end-members by ground spectral measurements, quantitative retrieval of information on sparse vegetation coverage in oasis-desert transitional area in Minqin, Gansu was done. The results showed that a wide band of TM images can be used in extracting sparse vegetation coverage of arid regions. Three components w...

Assessment of chemical quality of drinking water in rural area of Qorveh city, Kurdistan province, Iran

Groundwater aquifers as one of the main sources of water supplies are faced with different risks such as level dropping due to lack of precipitation, and natural and non-natural pollutants. Thus, it is extremely necessary to monitor ground water quality. In the present study, the concentration of cations, anions, and some toxic metals was evaluated in 21 rural water supplies in Qorveh plain in ...

Assessment of desertification hazard, risk and development of management plans

About 80 percent of Iran is arid and semi-arid and about 35 percent of this area is susceptible to desertification hazard. Therefore desertification assessment and identification of the most important criteria for the assessment of risk and a basis for development of management plans is essential. This research was conducted in the semi-arid region of Agh-Band in the Golestan province, Iran wit...
