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...

Cycling of water quality constituents in lakes is affected by thermal stratification and homo-thermal conditions other factors such as oligotrophication, eutrophication, microbial activities. In addition, hydrological variability can cause greater differences residence time cycling man-made (reservoirs) than natural lakes. Thus, investigations are needed on vertical mixing new impounded reservo...

six belonolaim species were collected from grasslands of sabalan region. the found species belong to genera amplimerlinius, merlinius, nagelus, neodolichorhynchus, paramerlinius and tylenchorhynchus. among the found species, neodolichorhynchus judithae is reported for the first time from iran and is characterized byhaving offset head, cuticule with 16 longitudinal ridges, delicate stylet 21-23 ...

BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to examine the prevalence of trichomoniasis among women aged 18 to 48 yr in Ardabil, northwestern Iran and the relationship between demographic factors and the risk of infection. METHODS Vaginal discharge samples of 914 women aged 18 to 48 yr, referred to Gynecology Clinic of Sabalan Hospital of Ardabil, Iran in 2014, were collected and Trichomonas vagin...

This study analyses the impact of climate change on inflows, sediment loads, and nutrient inputs to Sabalan dam reservoir, a warm monomictic lake located northwest Iran. For this purpose, Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was calibrated (2005–2018) validated (2001–2004). Future climate-based data under AR5 emission scenarios were obtained from HadGEM2–ES general circulation model then downscale...

salinity stress is a major limitation in wheat production. the lack of economically viable methods for screening salinity tolerance in field is an obstacle to breeders. in this study a population of 254 recombinant inbred lines (rils), derived from a cross between roshan × sabalan was assessed in glasshouse during the seedling phase in order to identify quantitative trait loci (qtls) for salini...

Thermal springs are widely used by tourists for treatment of dermal diseases and other therapeutic applications. In Iran, thermal springs occur in Northwestern part mainly surrounding the Mount Sabalan which attract hundreds of thousands of tourists annually. Two clusters of springs in Neer and Meshkinshahr areas including 16 thermomineralic springs have been studied in this research and they w...
