This study was conducted to identify and classify the lichens; determine the diversity index and richness of lichens. A total of 36 species belonging to six genera under three families was identified. Lichen species were mostly found at moderate high altitudinal range with an elevation of 1,131 meters above sea level and open areas where they received adequate sunlight with high moisture and hu...

In this research, biodiversity was investigated in the species diversity level. The objective of this research was to study of Norway Maple (Acer platanoides L.) dispersion and biodiversity of associated woody species in the Shafaroud forests, Gilan (IRAN). In this regard, a 0.5 ha lozenge sample plot was selected with considering presence of Norway Maple in each site. In each plot, geographic ...

in this study an attempt has been made to empirically examine the relationship between biodiversity and economic growth using indicators of species diversity and income per capita as proxies for biodiversity and economic growth, respectively.also the effects of agricultural value added as a percentage of gdp, trade freedom index, exchange rate, population, percantage of land developed for agric...

phytoplankton taxa composition of the caspian sea were evaluated by using samples collected at 12 stations along the iranian coast of the caspian sea between 1996 and 2010. this study identified 158 phytoplankton species consisted of diatoms (70 species), dinoflagellates (23 species), chlorophytes (29 species), cyanophytes (31 species), and euglenoids (5 species). the dominant species were the ...

the use of remote sensing techniques as a suitable solution to estimate the levels of species diversity is of high importance for the sustainable management of forests. in order to investigate the potential of using sensor data from landsat 7 etm+ to estimate species diversity in the zagros forests, digital data related to the august 7, 2002 from forests in the qalajeh kermanshah province were ...

Green space is important for the maintenance of the ecological dimension of a sustainable urban landscape. Therefore, in order to figure out the relationship between the greening of urban parks and bird diversity, we used 5 avian ecological diversity indexes, such as Species richness, Abundance, ShannonWeiner diversity index, Evenness, and Margalef’s richness indices, to evaluate the functional...
