This study aimed to investigate plant species diversity in the ecological species group in relation to the environmental factors. A study area of 216 ha in the southeast of Baghmalek on which seventy 20×20 m plots were established according to the random-systematic method was selected. Soil properties and physiographic factors were recorded at each plot. Herbaceous species composition was recor...

The species diversity of bumblebees was investigated in two provinces, Tehran (Fasham, Zayegan) and Qazvin (Alamut, Wikan) in central Alborz during 2005-2006. Three casts of queen, worker and male bumblebees were collected during spring and summer in six dates in the two mentioned regions. Sampling of adult bees in Wikan was done from 26 July 2006 until 19 September 2006, and in Zayegan from 24...

Exclosure is considered as a management method to improve vegetation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of exclosure on species diversity in Zayanderod dam station in Chadegan, Isfahan. The study area was stratified based on the various management types and slope directions, and samples were collected randomly in each layer. Four perpendicular transects, 500m in length were established a...

Numerical and parametrical indices are two of the most important and most widely used indices for assessing biodiversity in different societies. Nevertheless, their efficiency and selection in various ecosystems has always been one of the challenging issues of ecology. In this study, the numerical indices of diversity, richness and eveness, as well as abundance–ranking distribution models inclu...

Phytoplankton plays an important role in the material cycle and energy flow of the ecosystem, Therefore in this study, the distribution, frequency, and biodiversity of phytoplankton in Elimalat Lake were investigated. Sampling was performed in Elimalat Lake sessonally, located in Nur City, Mazandaran province, in 2019. In this study, 70 species of phytoplankton were classified into 5 phylum ...
