The present study aimed to model potential habitat distribution of A. sieberi, and its ecological requirements using generalized additive model (GAM) and classification and regression tree (CART) in in the Poshtkouh rangelands of Yazd province. For this purpose, pure habitats of the species was delineated and the species presence data was recorded by the systematic-randomize sampling method. Us...

This study aimed to estimate of spatial distribution scope of plant species and preparation of predictive distribution maps of plant species using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in Taftan west rangelands of Khash city. To this end, vegetation sampling was carried out by random-systematic method after identification and separation of plant species habitats. In order to sample the soil at each h...

The phenomenon of climate change is the greatest environmental challenge facing in the world today. The phenomenon is expected to affect all ecosystems in the world. Freshwater ecosystems are more vulnerable to these changes, as freshwater is exposed to various human pressures such as hydrology, morphology, connectivity and water quality. Therefore, climate change along with the mentioned issue...
