Seed storage of range species especially for key species and palatable is inevitable for improvement and development of rangelands. After gathering seeds within the site and separating litters and defect seeds, they are ...

A popular method for climate change prediction are General Circulation Models which are at coarse spatial resolution and must be downscaled. In this study, observed data of temperature, precipitation and potential ...

The study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of artificial neural network (ANN) and multivariate regression (MLR) analysis to predict spatial variability of soil salinity in central Iran, using remotely sensed data. ...

More than two-thirds of Iran have been located in arid and semi-arid regions. Overuse of groundwater water resources has decreased the groundwater level in these areas. Artificial recharge plays a pivotal role in the ...

Background: In arid regions, seasons are often marked by differences in rainfall, with life-history events, along with phenological stages. Materials and Methods: Three phenological phases were distinguished as vegetative ...

Spatial and temporal change of groundwater recharge is crucial for effective groundwater resources management especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Human activities such as reservoir construction commonly interrupt the ...

Sustainable rangelands management continues to be one of the main challenges facing arid ecosystem. The function of a rangeland ecosystem depends on the conservation of resources within the ecosystem. Finding the rangeland ...
