this research was conducted in two protect and destroy region in the middle zagros, in illam province. in order to identification of ecological species group and evaluate density of regeneration, effect of many factors such as protection, vegetation, physiographic factors, physical and chemical properties of soil in study locations were studied. to achieve these purpose number of 54 plots using...

      One of the most important issue at natural resources management is plant diversity conservation and detecting the different effects of usage methods on the its quality and quantity. This research was done with the goal of investigating the disaster center (village) at evaluation of rangeland damage with the accent of plant cover combination and diversity in Sabalan mountain southeast rang...

Choosing management strategies are influencing the vegetation characteristics and plant diversity in rangelands. We have studied the effects of three management treatments including overgrazing, exclusure, and exclusure with restoration operations on vegetation characteristics of plant cover, composition, and diversity in Kiasar Chardange summer rangelands. In each management treatment, three r...

The present study was performed to identify diversity indices of herb layer functional groups and its relation to physiographical factors in central Zagros forest, Lorestan. For this purpose, sampling of herbaceous plants was conducted randomly in plots of 2×2 m (n=50) in site. All plants were classified to functional groups including forbs, graminoids and legumes, also Raunkiaerchr('39')s life...

Conservation of vegetation is one of most important tools for conservation of soil and decreasing erosion. Therefore, knowledge about vegetation characteristics, such as diversity, is the first and most important biological tools for soil conservation. One of the methods in which we can collect useful data about plant diversity, is additive partitioning. In the current study, plant species dive...

Plant species distribution, composition and diversity in deserts of arid and semi-arid areas, especially saltland; depend on soil physical and chemical gradients. The aim of this research was to investigate changes in the plant species diversity and richness along a soil salinity gradient in the margin rangelands of Petregan Playa. After vegetation zoning in relation to soil salinity, random-sy...

     One of the important goals of natural resource management is to conserve plant diversity in the ecosystem so that sites are more productive and more ecologically stable at the various situations. Different diversity indices have been presented to study the species status of natural ecosystems. One of these indicators is the use of empirical distribution models that each of these models ind...
