introduction forest ecosystems have continuously downgraded due to every environmental pressure including climate change, aerosols deposits, industrial pollutions and other degradation factors. the output soon or late would be a different forest. forest monitoring is a well-regulated and usually long running procedure, which has the ability to detect these phenomena and reactions based on aims ...

Physiological factors have effects on most forest parameters such as forest classification so that understanding knowledge about this subject is important to manage forests. The forests of Sorkhake-sanjabi village with area of 1645 ha located in Eslam Abad city, Kermanshah province, Iran were selected. 23 sample plots with rectangular shape (40m*50m) were selected and the species, origin of spe...

recognizing the herbaceous plant species diversity could use as an importantindicator applied for the rangeland and forests management. considering the presence ofvegetation and animal husbandry in zagros region, iran, being aware of the diversity andrichness of plant species is necessary to management or the destructed vegetationrestoration. in order to study the effect of aspect and elevation...

The use of remote sensing techniques as a suitable solution to estimate the levels of species diversity is of high importance for the sustainable management of forests. In order to investigate the potential of using sensor data from Landsat 7 ETM+ to estimate species diversity in the Zagros forests, digital data related to the August 7, 2002 from forests in the Qalajeh Kermanshah Province were ...

while the hydrological balance of forest ecosystems has often been studied, quantitative studies on the seasonal variability of rainfall interception (i) and canopy storage capacity (s) by individual trees are less frequently reported. hence, the effects of the seasonal variation in i and s by individual persian oak trees (quercus brantii var. persica) in the zagros forests of iran were studied...

Metadon persicus Gilasian & Reemer sp. nov. is described, based on a single female specimen from the Zagros mountains in Iran. Morphological variation among the members of the genus Metadon Reemer and their distribution in the world are discussed. Photographs of the new species are provided. The subfamily Microdontinae represents a new taxon for southwestern Asia and the genus Metadon is report...
