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...

The Zagros forests (west of Iran) have been highly exploited in recent decades by human impacts. Easy access, abundance and variety of valuable forest yields have led to population growth density, creation of new residential areas and deforestation activities. In order to determinate the distribution and rate of deforestation from 1995 to 2006 by using the satellite imagery (IRS-1C and  LANDSAT...

without doubt is one important aspects of sustainable forest management the continuing forest regeneration. identify and determine is effective dispersal and distribution pattern of regeneration patches in various types of forest and its evolution, in maintaining biodiversity in natural ecosystems. purpose was chosen of gorazbon district kheyrod forest for study, all patches regeneration were l...

abstract nowadays, measuring water quality is very important for comprehensive management of water resources. suspended sediment is one of the most important water quality factors which greatly affects environment health. however, its measurement needs too much time and money. it was therefore tried in the present study to assess the applicability of modelling relationship between suspended sed...

conclusions due to the chronic nature of ra, promoting the qol and adherence to therapies could be achieved through convincing the patients. therefore, identification of weak points and planning for them at all levels; from individual to the community level is suggested. data extraction in the first step, the extracted results were summarized in the extraction table, and then analyzed using the...

The aim of this research was to measure the relative efficiency of forest management plans in north of Iran. In order to fulfill the research, data of 12 forest management plans were collected from the financial balance sheets of Shafaroud Forest Company during a ten years period. First of all, basic Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models (BCC and CCR) were used to determine the efficiency. The...
