Species and Functional Diversity of Pollarded (Galajar) Less Disturbed Area in the Northern Zagros Forests

to evaluate the capability of irs-p6 liss-iii data to be employed for monitoring the pollarding forest areas in northern zagros, some parts of pollarded forests located around baneh city were selected as a case study area. the pollarding area was determined as the ground truth in a 3-year alternation period using a global positioning system (gps). radiometric and geometric corrections were appl...

Horizontal and Vertical Structure of Northern Zagros Forests in Relation to Traditional Forestry System (Case study: Havare- Khol Forests)

The authors propose that a heat-driven circulation from the Zagros Plateau has a significant impact on the climate of the Middle East Plain (MEP), especially summertime winds, air temperature, and aridity. This proposal is examined in numerical experiments with a regional climate model. Simulations in which the Zagros Plateau was assigned a highly reflective, “snowlike” albedo neutralized the h...

In this paper the geometrical relationship of the folds which exist in the Folded Zagros Mountains, including Asef Mountain (northern Iran), were studied. The southern and western zones of the Zagros Mountains are called the Folded Zagros. These zones extend approximately 1,375 km in length with a width ranging from 120 to 250 km. Asef Mountain is located in northern Shiraz (from northern Sarda...

silvicultural operation need to notice the species diversity. to this study gomarlang district in marivan region, northern zagros forest was selected. in this study 30 circle sample plots (500 m2) were collected by random method. in every sample plot the kind of species and number of trees and shrub were recorded. in the sample plots the micro plots of 5 m by 5 m (i.e. area of 25 m2) were desig...

for maintaining of zagros forests role in wild life, water and soil conservation, the suitable solutions and methods for assessing the existing conditions and planning for management of this forests should be given. to detection of suitable sampling method to study tree density in the northern zagros forest, blake forest, in baneeh region, kurdistan province, and west of iran was selected. 40 s...

silvicultural operation need to notice the plant species diversity in forest. to this study gomarlang district in marivan region, northern zagros forest was selected. selected 100 ha area because have similar physiography condition (north aspect and 1650 to 1800 m s.a.l. in study area 100 micro plots of 5m by 5 m (25 m2) including the species and the numbers of this species randomized-systemati...

for maintaining of zagros forests role in wild life, water and soil conservation, the suitable solutions and methods for assessing the existing conditions and planning for management of this forests should be given. to detection of suitable sampling method to study tree diameter at breath height in the northern zagros forest, blake forest, in baneeh region, kurdistan province, and west of iran ...

We map the lateral variations of P-wave velocity beneath Zagros collision zone in Iran down to 800 km depth by regional travel time tomography. invert 32,293 relative residuals from five temporary seismic networks across NW and central northern Iran, a large number permanent stations distributed over Iranian Plateau. A salient feature our model is ~225 thick lithosphere Zagros, almost twice as ...
