Monitoring temporal variation of streamflow is necessary for many water resources management plans, yet, such practices are constrained by the absence or paucity data in rivers around world. Using a permanent river north Iran as test site, machine learning framework was proposed to model three periods growing seasons based on tree-rings and vessel features Zelkova carpinifolia species. First, f...

This study was conducted to elucidate the life cycle and the ecological characteristics of Trachys yanoi Y. Kurosawa, an important pest of Zelkova serrata (Thunb.) Makino. Life cycle, mortality rates in developmental stages, annual population dynamics, and early leaf abscission were investigated. Adults emerged from under the bark of Zelkova trees in April and fed on Zelkova leaves. Females lai...

sooty mold fungi are often associated with honeydew which insects secrete while feeding on the plant. a great variety of these fungi occur in the north of iran, especially on citrus ssp which is one of the most widely cultivated fruit trees in this region. during last 10 years, several collections of these fungi examined and 15 species have been recorded. in this paper seven previously unreport...

Abstract Key message A vegetation analysis revealed the extent of recolonization by native a 25-year-old Cupressus spp. plantation in northern Iran. young indigenous Quercus-Carpinus community replaced conifers low-slope areas with deeper, heavier, and more fertile soils. Context Reforestation degraded or clear-cut-harvested lands can modify site conditions, facilitating succession reestablishi...

BACKGROUND Grewia carpinifolia is a plant commonly used in the tropics to manage various central nervous system (CNS) disorders. However, despite its widespread use no scientific work has been reported to validate these claims. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the activity of G. carpinifolia as it affects behaviour using animal model. METHODS Twenty five adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into f...
