Abstract. The purpose of this study was to investigate vegetation dynamics and range conditions considering the climatic conditions and soil properties in Haftooman, Khoor and Biabanak deserts, Iran. For this purpose, after determining vegetation types and the associated species, the type of rangeland utilization, grazing season, the livestock type, the other relevant information, vegetation da...

this research has been done with the aim of explaining environmental and managerial factors that affects on rangeland vegetation distribution in saral rangelands of kurdistan province. after selecting plant types as working area were done sampling from plant types and determined some of plants parameters such as kind and number of plants and cover percentage. various environmental factors such ...

Relationships between soil factors and vegetation types in playa of Damghan was investigated. Six vegetationtypes including Artemisia.sieberi, Arundo. sp, Artemisia.sieberi-Peganum.harmala, Alhagi.cammelerom,Artemisia.sieberi-petropyron.sp, Tamarix.passerinoides-Halocnemum strobilaceum. One bare land was recognized inthe study area and the research was conducted within mentioned types. Canopy p...

plant life and food production for human closely depend on fertile and healthy soil. knowledge about qualitative properties of soil and its potential production can contribute us in the plantation, fertilization, utilization and land management. in addition, rangelands cover a very large portion of the earth's surface and play an important role in food security and other ecosystem services. the...

abstract. rangeland vegetation dynamics encompass all processes of changes in vegetation composition and structure over time. investigating the rangeland ecosystem dynamics makes it possible to determine the effects of climatic and management conditions on qualitative and quantitative changes of the vegetation in a specific period of time. accordingly, data collection and measurements for evalu...

This research was conducted to identify the limitative factors of forage productionsuitability in order to achieve the sustainable exploitation of natural ecosystems in AliabadWatershed in Lorestan in 2013. The field measurements have been done through cutting andweighing method to estimate the forage amount, four-factor method to determine the rangecondition, trend scale to specify the orienta...

In order to study the effects of three operations of rangelands on the properties of vegetation in rangelands, this research was conducted in Chaat Gonbad, Golestan province, Iran in 2004. Chaat area is located in 50 km of border road of Dashlibroun to Maravetappeh in North of Attract River (border of Iran and Turkmenistan). The Altitude is 70 m, annual rainfall is 170 mm and annual temperature...

the objective of this study was to assess the relationship betweenvegetation, landform and physicochemical properties of soil. at the first terrainmap unit were provided using the landsat thematic mapper (tm) satellite images,aerial photograph, topographical and geology map. field sampling was done in therepresentative area using plot sampling. 104 plots 100 m2 were sampled in eachplot landform...
