The most common way of satellite images use for dynamics investigation relies on separate interpretation or computer classification of multitemporal images with subsequent matrix comparison of classification results for changes discovering. These procedures are rather complicated and time-consuming. As a method convenient for everyday efficient image analysis we suggest method of changes determ...

the carabid beetle pterostichus (phonias) strenuus (panzer) is newly recorded from iran. it was collected by hand from ghaleroudkhan forests in the caspian province of guilan. this carabid beetle is widely distributed throughout the palaearctic region including europe, uzbekistan, kazakhstan and russian far east.

forests of iran located on the southern border of the caspian sea cover 1.9 million hectares. the caspian forests are divided into four separate forestry areas. one of these being guilan influx area with total area of 565000 hectares. about 30 to 40 percent of guilan province forests are suitable to short rotation forestry for afforestation. slash pine (pinus elliottii) is one of the main exoti...
