Remote sensing is increasingly used in studies of periodic changes of land use and landsurface temperature (LST) calculations. In this paper, the effect of change in the area ofMaharlu Lake on climatic elements, land surface temperature and vegetation cover in theareas surrounding the lake were studied. To this end, the ETM + & TM sensor data ofLANDSAT satellite on May 22, 1987, May 17, 2000, M...

Halophilic bacteria grow over a wide range of salt concentrations. In this study we aimed to isolate and screen out the halophilic bacteria and to determine their activity for production of the bioactive compounds. A total of 50 water, sediments and soil samples were collected from Maharlu salt lake in southern region of Fars-Iran and subjected for isolation of the bioactive compound producing ...

lake maharlu basin is located in a synclinal valley of the folded zagros. the frame and rugged structure of the basin is made of three units of mountainous geomorphologic, smooth levels and tectonic hole and evolved during several geological periods under the effect of interactive relations of tectonic, climatology and hydro geomorphologic processes. in this study, the researchers applied histo...

In addition to biochemical, physiological and morphological analysis, molecular studies provide additional information for establishing phylogenetic relationships among different species and strains of the genus Dunaliella. In the present study, based on neighbor- joining analysis of the nuclear rDNA ITS sequence, a novel strain of the green algae Dunaliella viridis was identified from Maharlu ...

dunaliella salina was isolated from maharlu salt lake in shiraz, iran, and was analyzed forthe effects of salinity stress on its growth, pigment content and ascorbate peroxidase activity. growth,expressed as number of cells ml-1, which was most rapid at 2 m nacl, was reduced at salinity extremes.during the exponential phase of growth, increasing salinity from 0.5 to 4 m nacl increased chl a fro...

A new species of tooth-carp, Aphanius arakensissp. n., is described from the Namak Lake basin in Iran. The new species is distinguished by the congeners distributed in Iran by the following combination of characters: 10-12 anal fin rays, 28-32 lateral line scales, 10-13 caudal peduncle scales, 8-10 gill rakers, 12-19, commonly 15-16, clearly defined flank bars in males, a more prominent pigment...

introduction monitoring of salt lake dry areas is an important parameter for sustainable development and environmental protection. monitoring of dried areas of the salt lake requires extraction of thematic maps at different times. powerful tool for remote sensing of the earth different ecosystems, such as playa environments, is to produce valuable and useful data. the major causes of widespread...
