today, rocky monuments are being exposed to different physical, chemical and biological factors and therefore going to be ruined. one of physical destructive factors is growing of fungus and lichens on the rocks. this research aims to make use of silver nano-particles produced through microbial method in order to prevent growth and progression of fungus detached from rocky surfaces in meymand h...

ecological classification of the coastal zone, have recently been using the “biotope” as a unit. lexically “biotope” is synonymous with habitat, but with different ecological concepts. various biotopes in 122 km intertidal stretch of the southern coasts of the qeshm island (qeshm city in east to dustaku village in west) in four seasons were identified and mapped out (2009-2010). considering the...

to study the population structure of decapods in the intertidal zone of bushehr rocky shores, some random sample collection from four rocky and rubble shores of bushehr were done using a 50×50 quadrates sampling unit, in four successive seasons from autumn 2009 to summer 2010. totally 8 speciesbelonging to 5 family of decapods were identified and counted. in the whole course of sample collectio...

Over the past several decades, rocky desertification has led to severe ecological problems in karst areas in South China. After a rocky desertification treatment project was completed, the vegetation coverage changed greatly and, consequently, increased the ecology water consumption (approximately equal to the actual evapotranspiration) of the regional vegetation. Thus, it intensified the regio...

Question: How do interactions between rocky landscape features and fire regime influence vegetation dynamics? Location: Continental Eastern USA. Methods: We measured vegetation, disturbance and site characteristics in 40 pairs of rocky and non-rocky plots: 20 in recently burned stands, and 20 in stands with no evidence of recent fire (‘unburned’ stands). Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was...

Research on methods for representing natural objects and phenomena by computer graphics (CG) has been steadily broadening the scope of represented objects in recent years. Among such research, visual simulation of rocky scenery is an important issue that has a wide range of applications related to visual contents, such as in landscape simulation. In the early days of research on terrain scenery...
