چکیده

iran has mountainous landscapes and half of its surface is occupied by highlands. moreover, iran is an arid country and deserts are located at lower altitudes. most metropolitan areas are positioned in mid-altitudes between mountain and desert. cities grow upwardly toward the highlands under pressures of urbanization and desertification. foothill ecotones are a zone between upland mountains and midland plains. upwardly sprawl of urban centers has transformed the structures and functions of these ecologically strategic belts. in this article, we analyzed the transformational trend of the ecotonal zone in the southern slopes of the central elburz (tehran-karaj urban region). landsat 7 etm+ (2000) and 8 oli (2013) are used to monitor spatial and temporal variability of landscape metrics. the land covers are grouped into four classes: vegetation cover, open space, built area, and water body. seven landscape metrics are used including: np, cap, mps, aw-mps, mnnd, para, and te. our results indicate that np, aw-mps, te, and para increased whereas cap and mps decreased. these results are a sign of the fragmentation process across the ecotonal strip.

Monitoring Meteorological Drought in Iran Using Remote Sensing and Drought Indices

Drought is a major environmental disaster in many parts of the world. Knowledge about the timing, severity and extentof drought can aid planning and decision-making. Drought indices derived from in-situ meteorological data have coarsespatial and temporal resolutions, thus, obtaining a real-time drought condition over a large area is difficult. This studyused advanced very high resolution radiom...
