Soil water repellency (SWR) is a widespread natural phenomenon that results from a complex interplay between the hydrosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and anthroposphere. Sewage sludge application can induce ...

Soil quality assessment is crucial for sustainable land management. Given the high cost and time required to measure all soil quality indicators, minimum data set (MDS) selection offers an efficient approach for accurate ...

Atmospheric dust has a significant impact on air quality and human health. Based on visibility, dust events are defined as dusty days and dust storms. South Khorasan, which lies between the Karakum Desert and the Sistan ...

The international Parishan Wetland, Iran, has completely dried up since 2009. Efforts are underway to restore it through the water transfer from the under-construction Nargesi dam. The aim of this research is to study the ...

Dust storms create considerable environmental issues in many arid and semi-arid regions such as Iran. Hence, recognizing dust storm patterns is essential for lessening their adverse impacts. This study has utilized Aerosol ...

This study was conducted to study the effect of zeolite and slope on sediment concentration, nutrient loss, and some hydraulic flow parameters in a loess soil of Northwest of Iran. The loess soil used for the experiments ...

Mangrove forests play a vital role in providing ecosystem services such as coastal protection and mitigating the impacts of climate change, necessitating mapping for assessment, monitoring, conservation, and management. ...

Environmental planning and resource management necessitate an analysis of changes in land use and land cover (LULC). In recent years, climate change and human activities, notably the erection of the Ilisu dam, have adversely ...

Biocrusts are used as a protective cover to stabilize the soil in dry areas, where the soil is more affected by erosion. In this research, various characteristics of the soil under the biological and physical crust were ...

This study evaluated the climatic suitability of several almond cultivars that flower at different times: Sefied, which flowers early, Mamaei and Rabie, which flowers in the middle, and Shahroud 7 and 12, which flowers ...

Excessive dryness of arid regions has increased the intensity and spread of desertification. Investigating spatial and temporal patterns of desertification caused by climate change in the northwest of Yazd province using ...

Global warming, human activities, and increased water demand have led to a decrease in the resilience of the environment. Their effects in dry climates like Iran lead to the reduction of surface water and a water table ...

Air pollution represents a significant challenge in Middle Eastern countries and has notably impacted the western regions of Iran, specifically the province of Khuzestan. The identification of pollution production centers ...

Germination is a critical stage of the growth of ornamental plants, which is susceptible to the adverse effects of salinity. Ornamental cabbage is one such important ornamental plants in green spaces, yet there is limited ...

Tarbat-e Jam is one of the major areas of melon production. Recent droughts and shortage of water have reduced melon yield. In this research, the role of nitroxin bio-fertilizer and potassium on mitigating the adverse ...

Climate changes have a significant effect on dust extremes. Dust extremes in humid ambient air can simultaneously or successively form wet mud deposition on the surface of urban areas. The mud deposition on the power network ...

Halophytes and other salt-tolerant plants in rangeland ecosystems play an important role in environmental protection and food security. The spatial point pattern analyses of these plants in arid and semi-arid areas provide ...
