The vegetation of Eshtehard salt marshes in Karaj was studied, using the Braun-Blanquet method. Sixty five relevés recorded in different salt habitats were analyzed by Analyse Factorielle des Correspondances (AFC) and Classification Ascendant Hierarchique (CAH) methods, using the Anaphyto software. In general, 11 plant associations determined in the area: Aeluropodetum littoralis, Artemisietum ...

Abstract. Soil salinity, a significant environmental indicator, is considered one of the leading causes land degradation, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. In many cases, this major threat leads to loss arable land, reduces crop productivity, groundwater resources loss, increases economic costs for soil management, ultimately probability erosion. Monitoring salinity distribution degree ...

the effects of range management plans (rmp) on soil and vegetationcharacteristics were studied in eshtehard rangelands at alborz province. the parameters ofyield, canopy cover, range condition and trend, bulk density, organic matter (om%),nitrogen (n), phosphorous (p) and potassium (k) were estimated on soil samples in sitesof ghenzel cheshmeh as rmp and sanctum of rahmanyeh village. the data w...

the objective of this research was to study the relationships between edaphic and topographic factors with distribution of plant species. for this purpose, current study was conducted in eshtehard rangelands of tehran province. the sampling method was randomized–systematic and in each sampling unit, three parallel transects with 750 m length containing 45 quadrates (according to vegetation vari...

background: daylight availability data are essential for designing effectively day lighted buildings. in respect to no available daylight availability data in iran, illuminance data on the south facing vertical surfaces were estimated using a proper method. methods: an illuminance measuring set was designed for measuring vertical illuminances for standard times over 15 days at one hour interval...

Considering the importance of Cd and U as pollutants of the environment, this study aims to predict the concentrations of these elements in a stream sediment from the Eshtehard region in Iran by means of a developed artificial neural network (ANN) model. The forward selection (FS) method is used to select the input variables and develop hybrid models by ANN. From 45 input candidates, 13 and 14 ...

Compared to surface water, groundwater resources are the primary source of water supply in arid and semi-arid regions of Iran, hence the importance of the management of these resources .  In this regard, we assessed the effects of landuse changes on the qualitative and quantitative status of groundwater resources in Eshtehard region, Iran. Through processing and analyzing the satellite images, ...
