reserches show that relationship between human and residential places is based upo both emotional and identity structures. in other words, habitat place is not only the creator of a part of humanistic identity but also form a kind of sentimental and emotional bond that may result in tendency to maintain closeness to a specific place. therefor, formaton of emotional and identity relationship wit...

Climate change is currently considered a serious threat for many species and recognized as one of the most important factors in the global biodiversity loss. Among animal groups, amphibians are known to be among the most sensitive groups of vertebrates to climate change due to their inability to travel long distances, and mountain habitat species are more exposed to climate change pressures tha...

Habitat degradation is one the important reasons of plant species extinction. Modeling techniques are widely used for identifying the potential habitats of different plant species. Thus, the purpose of current study was to determine potential habitats of Zalzalak in Lorestan Province. Species presence data and 23 environmental variables were collected in Lorestan Province. Correlation analysis ...

Knowledge of species’ habitat needs is considered as one of the requirements of wildlife management. We studied seasonal habitat suitability and habitat associations of wild goat (Capra aegagrus) in Kolah-Qazi National Park, one of its typical habitats in central Asia, using Maximum Entropy approach. The study area was confined to mountainous areas as the potential habitat of the wild goat. Ele...

The relationship between plant species and environmental factors has always been a central issue in plant ecology. With rising power of statistical techniques, geo-statistics and geographic information systems (GIS), the development of predictive habitat distribution models of organisms has rapidly increased in ecology. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of Logistic Regression Tree model ...

 Investigation of ecological, hydrological status and habitat Suitability of river is one of the key elements in river ecosystem management. In this regard, in the present study, in order to evaluate the ecological sustainable conditions in Zarrin-Gol River of Golestan Province, during stepwise calculations, echo-hydraulic and hydromorphocological analysis of the habitat of Capoeta gracilis (Ke...
