Abstract. Purpose. The study is aimed at carrying out an adaptation assessment of arid fodder shrubs for the restoration degraded pasture ecosystems in semi-desert zone southern Russia modern conditions climate aridization. Methods. An given adaptive capabilities, including field germination seeds, response to drought, yield leafless Calligonum aphyllum, Eurotia ceratoides, and Kochia prostrata...

This research was conducted to investigate the relationships between soil(organic matter, potassium, phosphorous, sodium, fine gravel, soil texture, EC, lime,gypsum, nitrogen) and environmental (elevation, slope) factors with distribution ofvegetation types in rangelands of Sabzdasht, located in Bafgh, Yazd province at 2012. Forthis purpose, four vegetation types were selected as follows: Artem...

Wells in grasslands are usually accompanied with increased traffic by humans and livestock. The purpose of this study was to detect whether plant community structure differs in spatial arrangement with different grazing gradients in the desert steppe of Mongolia. We found poor correlation between total coverage and distance-to-well in bigshrub and shrub-limited sites but strong correlation in t...

The objective of this research was to identify the vegetation-soil relationships in Nodushan arid rangelands of Yazd. 5 sites were selected for measuring the cover of plant species and soil attributes. Soil samples were taken in 0-10 and 10-80 cm layers. The species studied were Salsola tomentosa, Salsola arbuscula, Peganum harmala, Zygophylum eurypterum and Eurotia ceratoides. Canonical corres...

eurotia ceratoides (l.) c. a. mey is an important plant species in semi-arid landsin iran. new approaches are required to determine the distribution of this plant species. forthis reason, geographical distributions of eurotia ceratoides were assessed using threedifferent models including: multiple discriminant analysis (mda), ecological niche factoranalysis (enfa) and logistic regression (lr). ...

In order to sustainable use of rangelands, it is necessary to recognize water, soil, and vegetation cover and analyze their relationships. Physical and chemical properties of soil are effective in distribution of plant species in local area. To determine the effects of some soil properties on species distribution of Eurotia ceratoides and Stipa barbata in Baghedar summer region of Bafgh, three ...
