Freshwater resources are scarce in desert regions. Highly saline groundwater of different salinity is being used to drip irrigate the Taklimakan Desert Highway Shelterbelt with a double-branch-pipe system controlling the irrigation cycles. In this study, to evaluate the dynamics of soil moisture and salinity under the current irrigation system, soil samples were collected to a 2-m depth in the ...

Survey on zooplankton composition was studied during June 2015 to March 2016, by selecting six stations along the coastal waters of Bushehr (the Northwest Persian Gulf). Twenty four zooplankton taxa were identified, and the different zooplankton groups represented twenty-one families. Copepoda was recorded with the most abundance (53.30 %) followed by Malacostraca (32.87 %), which in turn was f...

In vitro antioxidant activity of Ulva lactuca (Chlorophyta) and three brown seaweeds belonging to the division Phaeophyta were evaluated. The species Padina pavonica, Colpomenia sinuosa, Cystoseira myrica and U. lactuca were collected during low tide between March and June 2012 from the coastline of the Persian Gulf (Hormozgan and Bushehr provinces), Iran.Ethyl acetate, n-Hexane and methanol e...

to study the population structure of decapods in the intertidal zone of bushehr rocky shores, some random sample collection from four rocky and rubble shores of bushehr were done using a 50×50 quadrates sampling unit, in four successive seasons from autumn 2009 to summer 2010. totally 8 speciesbelonging to 5 family of decapods were identified and counted. in the whole course of sample collectio...

rehabiliating bushehr historic fabric and paying to it as an important urban fabric through increasing capabilities and facilities is main concern. bushehr historical fabric can be the consequence of several factors the most important of which is the persian gulf and its past history as a national one. this fabric, is organic, dense, compact, having its own characteristics. one of its main prio...

date bunch fading disorder (dbfd) has been one of the major issues facing date palm growers in recent decades. this order has caused high and non-compensable losses to date palm product. despite numerous studies, predominantly focusing on the causes and mitigation methods of this disorder, no precise influencing factors have been established and practices which can completely control it are not...
