[ 1 ] - مطالعه تاثیرات پوشش گیاهی و سطوح سخت شهری بر ریز اقلیم و آسایش دمایی مشهد

ایجاد آسایش دمایی مطلوب در دوره‏های گرم سال با توجه به جمعیت بالا و اقلیم گرم و خشک بیشتر شهرهای ایران ضروری است. آزمایشی به‌منظور بررسی تأثیر درصد پوشش گیاهی و سطوح سخت بر تغییرات دما، رطوبت نسبی و آسایش دمایی شهروندان در سه سایت شهری و ایستگاه هواشناسی مشهد انجام گرفت. داده‏های اقلیمی دریافتی و ثبت‌شده از ایستگاه هواشناسی و سایت‏های چهارراه دانش، تقاطع مقدم طبرسی و پارک ملت که از نظر درصد پوش...

[ 2 ] - Effect of mulches on some characteristics of a drought tolerant flowering plant for urban landscaping

Mulches are relatively new landscape components and are becoming recognized for their environmental and aesthetic outcomes on urban landscapes especially in arid environments. However, the effects of mulches on landscape plants have not been extensively discussed. This study examined the effects of organic and inorganic mulches on the performance of a widely used herbaceous drought toleran...

[ 3 ] - Examining performances of organic and inorganic mulches and cover plants for sustainable green space development in arid cities

Green space is one of the important infrastructures for keeping natural life and sustainability in modern urbanism and it provides excellent recreational opportunities for the people in the society. However, there are limiting factors in green space development, especially in arid regions, including extreme weather and soil temperatures, low average rainfall, drought, and high potential for eva...

[ 4 ] - Investigating strategies for optimum water usage in green spaces covered with lawn

Water supply of green spaces in arid areas is a major challenge. A high percentage of green spacescreate lawns, which are high water consumer landscapes. Due to the environmental, recreational andathletic values of lawns, they are considered as non-removable elements in urban green space development.This paper reviews and discusses strategies for efficient water usage in lawn areas using librar...

[ 5 ] - Energy Conservation Potential of an Extensive Green Roof in Iran for One Year Duration

The temperature of cities continues to increase because of the heat island phenomenon and the undeniable climatic change. The observed high ambient temperatures intensify energy problems in cities, deteriorates comfort conditions, put in danger the vulnerable population and amplify the pollution problems. There are some suggested ways to reduce these issues, among them vegetated roofs are shown...

[ 6 ] - Identification of Houseplants Using Neuro-vision Based Multi-stage Classification System

In this paper, we present a machine vision system that was developed on the basis of neural networks to identify twelve houseplants. Image processing system was used to extract 41 features of color, texture and shape from the images taken from front and back of the leaves. The features were fed into the neural network system as the recognition criteria and inputs. Multilayer perceptron (MLP) ne...

[ 7 ] - تاثیر عصاره‌های گیاهی و بسته‌بندی بر کیفیت میکروبی و فعالیت آنتی‌اکسیدانی ریحان

سبزیجات در معرض آلودگی به عوامل بیماری‌زا هستند. لذا جهت برطرف نمودن آلودگی‎ها و افزایش ماندگاری سبزی‎ها، استفاده از ترکیبات طبیعی با بستهبندی مناسب، ضروری است. در این مطالعه به بررسی ترکیبات طبیعی گیاهی در کاهش بارمیکروبی و تاثیر آن‌ها بههمراه دو نوع بسته‎بندی زیپ‎پلاست و سلفون بر میزان فنل کل و فعالیت آنتیاکسیدانی ریحان پرداخته شد. عصارههای آبی-الکلی چای‌سبز و آویشن‌خراسانی به روش مسراسیون ته...

[ 8 ] - Effect of humic acid and mulches on some characteristics of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.)

Application of biotic growth regulators (e.g. humic components) and appropriate mulches is recommended to improve turfgrass quality. However, limited research has investigated their effect on lawn establishment. To investigate the effect of humic acid and selected mulches on characteristics of Festuca arundinacea in its planting stage, a factorial experiment based on a completely rando...

[ 9 ] - Quality Assessment of Turfgrasses Using NTEP Method Compared to an Image-Based Scoring System

The current methods of turfgrass evaluations are often based on human-based assessment methods. However, eliminating subjective errors from such evaluations is often impossible. This research compared the accuracy of human-based and digital image processing-based methods for quality assessment of turfgrasses. Four turfgrass plots were evaluated using the two mentioned methods. In the human-base...

[ 11 ] - Evaluating the environmental performance of the growing media in a green wall system in a dry climate region

Application of green walls still has not attracted interest among the contractors and people, and this can be due to poor growing performance of the plants on these systems. This study investigated the effect of four growing media types (30% cocopeat + 65% perlite + 5% vermicompost, 30% soil + 65% perlite + 5% vermicompost, 30% mushroom compost + 65% perlite + 5% vermicompost and regular soil a...

[ 12 ] - Evaluation of the Growth and Thermodynamic Properties of Frankenia on Different Growing Media in an External Green Wall

Currently, the idea of integrating nature and buildings through green roofs and green walls has been considered as a sustainable strategy in cities. However, studies on the substrates which allow the plants to fully establish in these systems are still lacking. It is also a challenge to find the substrates which provide the plants with proper growth, nutrition, and environmental sustainabilit...
