In the present data article, fluoride concentration levels of drinking water (with spring or groundwater sources) in 10 villages of Asara area located in Alborz province were determined by the standard SPADNS method using a spectrophotometer (DR/2000 Spectrophotometer, USA). Daily fluoride intakes were also calculated based on daily drinking water consumption. The fluoride content were compared...

petrography, modal analysis of sandstones and major elements geochemistry of shales of early cambrian zagun formation in sarbandan section, central alborz, are used to identify their provenance (including parent rocks, tectonic setting and paleo-weathering). petrography of the sandstones and plotting their point counting data on qt44, f47, l9 and qm44, f45 ,lt11 diagrams imply that they are ark...

feldspar grains, as a significant provenance indicator, of two terrigenous formations from central iran, the upper red formation, and moghan area, zivah formation, are used for provenance determination and the study of transportation and depositional history. the upper red formation (urf) is volumetrically the most important siliciclastic unit of the central iran and zivah formation (zf) repres...

the distribution of gazella bennetti in iran is reviewed. the species is commonly said to be confined to the southeastern part of the country, but is actually widespread over suitable areas, east of the zagros range and south of the alborz. in the north and west of this range, there is a hitherto undescribed subspecies, which is named and diagnosed for the first time in this paper; its similari...

Abstract Rodent biogeographic studies are disproportionately scarce in Iran, however, they an ideal system to understand drivers of biodiversity distributions the country. The aims present research determine (i) pattern rodent richness across country, (ii) quantify their elevational distribution patterns, and (iii) explore underlying mechanisms. To reach these goals, updated species list was co...
