The present study was carried out to assess and document ethnobotanical knowledge of the plants of Sabalan district in Ardabil Province, as the area has diverse flora and high ethnobotanical potential. Medicinal plants of Sabalan were studied through collections of plant specimens and by interviewing local informants from several villages. For Each plant species the scientific and vernacular na...

This research aims to assess contamination status of water and sediment in Sabalan dam reservoir (SDR) evaluate the impact withdrawal depths on carcinogenic non-carcinogenic risks metals for exposed people. Results metal pollution indices revealed some degree reservoir, especially associated with arsenic. Risk assessment SDR materials through different scenarios depth that consuming from 10 m c...

A numerical model of the NW-Sabalan geothermal field was developed. The model covers a total area of 96 km and extends vertically from variable elevation of 2200-3600m a.s.l to 1,000m b.s.l. The model has 2,595 grid blocks in l4 horizontal layers. The boundary conditions and distributions of horizontal and vertical permeabilities were obtained by trialand-error matching of the initial temperatu...

three species belonging to three genera of the family tylenchidae, namely, cephalenchus leptus, eutylenchus excretorius, and lelenchus leptosoma were discovered as first reports for iran's nematode fauna. they were characterized by morphological, morphometric and molecular phylogenetic studies. the two latter genera are new for iran. iranian population of cephalenchus leptus is characterized by...

The aim of this work was to study drought effects on lipid peroxidation, antioxidant compounds, and anti-oxidative enzymes activities in two tolerant (Daric and 92 Zhong), two moderately tolerant (Sabalan and DH-2049-3) and two sensitive (Shark and Tevees) wheat genotypes. Malondialdehyde content and electrolyte leakage increased significantly (P

ABSTRACT The geological and tectonic background of the Sabalan area in NW Iran its present-day surface processes make it ideal for examining effects shaping Earth's crust. As a result intense distribution pre-Quaternary Quaternary structures (e.g., faults, joints folds), most drainage basins southern central parts study have developed under tectonic-dominated conditions, whereas erosional are g...
