Managing the rapidly changing saline-alkali land under cultivation in the coastal areas of China is important not only for mitigating the negative impacts of such land on the environment, but also for ensuring long-term sustainability of agriculture. In this light, setting up rapid monitoring systems to assist decision-making in developing sustainable management plans is therefore an absolute n...

agricultural land conversion (alc) has been introduced as one of the most important factorsaffecting ecosystem. this type of conversion has led to several challenges in agricultural development andhuman life. monitoring alc plays a crucial role when dealing with such challenges. the main objective of thisstudywas to monitor the trend ofalc in theqazvin province located in northwest iran from 19...

desertification relates to the both the process and end state of drylands degradation. salinization and alkalinization are two indicators of soil degradation in arid and semi-arid regions. the main objectives of this research is monitoring of soil salinity using high spectral and spatial resolution of remote sensing to assess desertification in the marvast plain, yazd province. two images of te...

Soil salinization and sodification are common processes that particularly characterize drylands. These can be attributed either to natural conditions or anthropogenic activities. While causes include factors such as climate, lithology, topography, pedology, human mostly related agricultural land-use, specifically, irrigated agriculture. The objective of this study was thoroughly review topic, w...

almost half of agricultural lands in iran are saline and it is one of the most important constraints in cultivated lands. wheat is the most important crop in saline lands in rotation of golestan province. since saline soils amelioration is so expensive, achievement of genotypes with tolerant and high yield potential is essential. 22 genotypes of selective wheat of recent experiments with three ...

ecological studies on range plants enhance our knowledge on the rangeland ecosystems which are useful for their planning and management.  by doing field and laboratory experiments during 2008-2009, ecological conditions were studied in the main habitats of z. atriplicoides in the rural and winter rangelands of northern khorasan province (nkp). forage quality was also studied at different phonol...
