Salinity is one of the environmental factors that have a critical influence on the germination of seeds and plant establishment. Salinity affects imbibition, germination and root elongation. In this study, the germinatio ...

Physiological effect of six levels of water stress (0, -0.1, -.03, -0.6, -0.9 and -1.2 MP) was studied on seed germination and plumule as well as radicule growth length in three species namely: Agropyron elongatum, Agropyron ...

Investigation of desertification trend needs understanding of phenomena creating changes singly or action and reaction together in the manner that these changes were ended up in land degradation. In investigation of ...

Uncertainty associated with mixing models is often substantial, but has not yet been fully incorporated in models. The objective of this study is to develop and apply a Bayesian-mixing model that estimates probability ...

Our main objective in the present study was to assess the spatial variation of chemical and physical water properties. Prior to the design of groundwater quality monitoring networks, it is essential to investigate the ...

In recent years, the topic of desertification has been discussed in different ways in scientific areas. This event occurred globally, regionally and nationally and many steps were taken to stop it. Desertification is ...

In order to recognize the wind erosion situation of a region, the survey of its windiness is not sufficient and the physical characteristics of earth are of importance too. In fact, the outbreak of dust storms in a region ...
