[ 1 ] - Change of Species Diversity in Vascular Plants Across Ecological Species Groups
Biodiversity plays a crucial role in stability and productivity of natural ecosystem. The main goal of this research was to classify ecological groups in steppe rangeland and investigate their relationships with plant diversity indices. Therefore, fifty different Land Unit Tracts (LUT) were identified in Khod-Neuk basin, Yazd province, Iran, in 2010. Vegetation and soil samples were taken in th...
[ 2 ] - Assessing the Effects of Different Incision Techniques on Ferula assafoetida Properties
The extinction of some of medical plants is not only due to the overuse of them and the grazing pressure but also their incorrect exploitation methods. Ferula assafoetida is one of the most important medical plants in Iranian rangelands, which is gradually disappeared from its habitats due to destructive traditional exploitations. Therefore, in order to determine how different incision techniqu...
[ 3 ] - Plant Species and Functional Types’ Diversity in Relation to Grazing in Arid and Semi-arid Rangelands, Khabr National Park, Iran
In arid and semi-arid rangelands, grazing as one of the natural or human induced processes has direct and indirect effects on structure and dynamics of plant community and ecosystems. A study was done to analyze the effects of grazing on plant species diversity and Plant Functional Types‘ (PFTs) diversity of arid and semi-arid rangelands. We analyzed plant richness and diversity data from 75 sa...
[ 4 ] - Comparative Study of Member Viewpoints about Effective Socio- Economic Factors on the Range Management Cooperatives Success (Golestan Province)
Renewable natural resources are the wealth that not only belongs to the currentgeneration but also to future generations. Diversity in rangeland user viewpoints and policymakers has caused these lands to face some damages. This study was conducted to compareviewpoints of ordinary members as rangeland users, and board of directors as executives ofmanagement plans. Statistical population of the s...
[ 5 ] - بررسی اثر خصوصیات فیزیکی و شیمیایی خاک بر پوشش گیاهی گونه زرد تاغ (Haloxylon persicum) (مطالعه موردی: منطقه یانسی گناباد)
Due to the harsh environmental conditions in arid and semi-arid area of country, it is essential to assess the factors affecting the vegetation in such areas. This study aimed to investigate the effect of some soil physicochemical properties (including texture, bulk density, moisture, organic matter, carbon, nitrogen, potassium, lime, sodium, electrical conductivity and pH) on Haloxylon persicu...
[ 6 ] - Assessing Impact of Anthropogenic Disturbances on Forage Production in Arid and Semiarid Rangelands
Forage is one of the main products of rangeland ecosystems, which is threatened by different anthropogenic disturbances. This study was conducted to assess the impact of urbanization, rural development, agriculture extension, road construction and industry on forage production in an arid and semiarid rangeland using InVEST habitat quality model in spring 2018. In 14 rangeland types, thirty 2×1m...
