forests are an important economic source for human and have key role in nutrient cycle, hydrology and ecosystem performance, any interference in this vital ecosystem causes to damage to forests. mechanical logging and road construction in forest areas have led to much soil compaction. soil physical and chemical properties were studied in parts of road and non-road in the darabkola forest of ira...

Background: Over the last decade, a significant area of Zagros forests, especially in Ilam Province, west Iran, has been affected by phenomenon oak decline. The most basic item for fighting decline these forests is to know site suitability, parameters affecting it, determining criteria and preparing map potential forests. In this study, efficiency Maxent on suitability Dalab Bankol important P....

[1] Large topographic belts along convergent margins have been recognized with the ability to slowdown the kinematics of subduction over geologically short time periods (i.e., few Myr), because their associated gravitational spreading provides significant resistive force within the framework of plate tectonics. The record of past and present-day plate kinematics provides important constraints o...
