This work describes a knowledge-guided clustering approach for mineral potential mapping (MPM), by which the optimum number of clusters is derived form a knowledge-driven methodology through a concentration-area (C-A) multifractal analysis. To implement the proposed approach, a case study at the North Narbaghi region in the Saveh, Markazi province of Iran, was investigated to discover porphyry ...

Abstract Salinity is one of the most important factors limiting plant growth and production around the world. Gibberellic acid is known as a strong growth stimulator, effective on seed germination and breaking of seed dormancy in various plant species. In order to study the response of Safflower,Sofeh cultivar, to salinity stress, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized...

aril browning threatens production, consumption, and exports of pomegranates, because affected fruit cannot be externally distinguished from healthy fruit. this study compared the mineral, biochemical composition, and related enzyme activities in affected brown arils with healthy ones in ‘malase saveh’ pomegranates. the results indicated that concentrations of cu in the aril and k, mg, and mn i...

some chemical characteristics of root, shoot and litter of index species such as salsola rigida, artemisia sieberi and stipa barbata commonly used in rangeland development projects were evaluated and compared. chemical properties of soil under and between the above mentioned species were also studied. for this purpose, vegetation types of stipa barbata and artemisia sieberi - salsola rigida wer...

     Forage production of rangelands differs during different times of grazing season and in the same month of different years. In range management projects, grazing capacity calculated once during the grazing season, which coincides with the maximum production of rangeland species. This may cause more livestock entry into the rangeland during the grazing season, leading to more degradation. Th...
