Forests of Iran located on the Southern border of the Caspian Sea cover 1.9 million hectares. The Caspian forests are divided into four separate forestry areas. One of these being Guilan influx area with total area of 565000 hectares. About 30 to 40 percent of Guilan province forests are suitable to short rotation forestry for afforestation. Slash pine (Pinus elliottii) is one of the main exo...

Megalopolis is a group of densely populated metropolitan areas that combine to form an urban complex. Since China introduced the economic reforms in late 1970s, the Chinese urban system has experienced unprecedented growth. The process of urbanisation prevailed in the 1980s, and the process of predominantly large city growth appeared to continue through 1990s and 2000s. In this study, the magni...

Abstract Landslide susceptibility is a measure to express the high or low probability of an area experiencing landslide disaster which has impact on community very necessary for mapping Tirtomoyo Watershed including Tirtomoyo. From 2014 2022, experienced 147 landslides caused material losses and casualties. The aspect assessment in watershed basic reduce risk loss. This study aims map landslide...

the present study aims to simulate the spatial pattern of land use change in lisar protected area,iran. land cover maps for 1989, 2000, and 2007 were depicted using tm, etm+, and irs liss-iii images ofthe area at stake. images were classified using a merge of unsupervised and supervised classification. camarkov model was used to predict land cover maps as a top-down approach in investigating la...

to preserve wildlife habitats and populations, it is normal practice to select representative natural areas. the aim of this research is prioritization of candidate sites for environmental protection in mazandaran province. for this purpose, 26 forest cover types, habitats of 8 mammal species and important distribution areas for 4 groups of birds were used as input criteria. simulated annealing...

Abstract This study uses acoustic energy measures for /b, d, g/ after /f, s, ∫, l, r/ in Catalan in order to test whether postconsonantal voiced stop lenition is ruled by minimization of articulatory effort, acoustico-perceptual continuity of an ongoing prosodic constituent or some other principle of articulatory organization. Data for eight speakers reveal that lenition is more prone to operat...
