Biodiversity includes variation and variability among the different living species of different natural habitats. Out of them plant diversity also placed in significant construction of biodiversity. Plant diversity is affected by several biotic and abiotic factors and is also regulated by their genes. Plant life is always affected by their population structure, natural effect in different phase...

assessment of diversity and species richness in the understanding of ecosystem functions, protect and preserve genetic resources, evaluation and control of environmental change and the success or failure will help natural resource management programs. arbitrary banning livestock grazing program and one of the most common and perhaps the most degraded pastures and reduced the diversity and speci...

miankaleh biosphere reserve it has a set of marine and land ecosystems an area about 67349 ha and is located in the north of iran and southeast farthermost of caspian sea. the diversity of the natural characteristics of caspian region is the cause of diversity in the habitats, and has resulted in nesting of most plant species in the germinative range. regarding the importance of coastal ecosyst...

Silvicultural operation need to notice the species diversity. To this study Gomarlang district in marivan region, northern zagros forest was selected. In this study 30 circle sample plots (500 m2) were collected by random method. In every sample plot the kind of species and number of trees and shrub were recorded. In the sample plots the micro plots of 5 m by 5 m (i.e. area of 25 m2) were desig...

Global biodiversity loss has prompted research on the relationship between species diversity and ecosystem functioning. Few studies have examined how plant diversity impacts belowground processes; even fewer have examined how varying resource levels can influence the effect of plant diversity on microbial activity. In a field experiment in a restored wetland, we examined the role of plant trait...

in order to evaluate the weed diversity in forage crop fields such as alfalfa (medicago sativa l.), clover (trifolium sp.) and sainfoin (onobrychis spp.) in different provinces of iran, a study was conducted by using data from reports of plant protection organization, ministry of agriculture during 2008. after evaluation of weed species and definition of weed family, these species classified ba...

A rich body of theory has been developed to predict the effects of plant diversity on communities at higher trophic levels and the mechanisms underpinning such effects. However, there are currently a number of key gaps in knowledge that have hindered the development of a predictive framework of plant diversity effects on consumers. For instance, we still know very little about how the magnitude...
