the growing population and increasing socio-economic necessities creates a pressure on land use/land cover. nowadays, land use change detection using remote sensing data provides quantitative and timely information for management and evaluation of natural resources. this study investigates the land use changes in part of hableh rood watershed of iran using landsat 7 and 8 (sensor etm+ and oli) ...

land use planning is a science that determines the type of land use through studying the ecological character of the land as well as its socio-economic structure. it is possible to plan for the appropriate use of the land and to enhance the present management of the land use by utilizing geographical information system (gis). to this end, our investigators identified and took steps toward devel...

using of different systems of soil plough after changing unconsciously and non-scientific of land use, other soil physical and chemical characteristics affected. this fact, especially in marginal lands and mountainous regions is more visible. this research compared with the purpose of studying land use changing on some soil physical and chemical characters like very tiny sand percent, ph, ec, c...

the relative impacts of different types of land use on the surface water quality are yet to be ascertained and quantified. in this paper, the influence of different types of land use on surface water quality is investigated. rain events samples from different land use in the central plateau, iran, were analyzed for major ions. statistical analyses were employed to examine the statistical relati...

inappropriate patterns and drastic changes in land-use have caused the severe environmental crisis. therefore, it is necessary to accomplish any plan in relation to establishment of different activities with respect to land capabilities and land-use evaluation thought. in this study, ecological capabilities and the site selection of land uses in babolrood basin, mazandaran province were evaluat...

Over the past few decades, land-use and climate change have led to substantial range contractions and species extinctions. Even more dramatic changes to global land cover are projected for this century. We used the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment scenarios to evaluate the exposure of all 8,750 land bird species to projected land-cover changes due to climate and land-use change. For this first b...
