[ 1 ] - Predicting the Potential Habitat Distribution of Crataegus Pontica C. Koch, Using a Combined Modeling Approach in Lorestan Province

Habitat degradation is one the important reasons of plant species extinction. Modeling techniques are widely used for identifying the potential habitats of different plant species. Thus, the purpose of current study was to determine potential habitats of Zalzalak in Lorestan Province. Species presence data and 23 environmental variables were collected in Lorestan Province. Correlation analysis ...

[ 2 ] - Evaluating the Efficiency of Clay Reservoirs for the use of Unconventional Waters in Subsurface Irrigation

Introduction: As Iran faces limited water resources, it should take the use of unconventional waters into account in its drought management. In many countries, including Iran, conventional water is relatively scarce. However, should water, soil, and plants be appropriately managed, there would be significant saline water sources for irrigation purposes. Together with reducing salinity and refin...

[ 3 ] - Investigating the Effect of Moisture, Salinity, and the Soil’s Clay Content on the Germination and Growth of Hedysarum criniferum Boiss under Natural Habitat and Greenhouse Conditions

Introduction: in addition to pasture grazing, animals are fed on such sources as manual forage, farm straw, etc. Therefore, due to various socio-economic reasons, overgrazing and forage shortage exert adverse effects on rangelands, leading to their degradation. On the other hand, excessive exploitation of rangelands and changes in their use has led to the expansion of invasive species, altering...
