Changes in the geographical distribution of plants are one of the major impacts of the climate change. This study was aimed to predict the potential changes in the distribution of Artemisia aucheri Boiss in Isfahan rangelands. Therefore, six bioclimatic variables and two physiographic variables were used under the Generalized Linear Model (GLM), Flexible Denotative Analysis (FDA), Surface Range...

this study was intended to analyze the listening tapescripts of the elementary and pre-intermediate levels of total english textbooks from the pragmatic dimension of language functions and speech acts in order to see whether the listening tasks are pragmatically informative or not. for this purpose, 8 conversations from the two books were selected randomly, and then, the two pragmatic models of...

Land cover has rapidly changed due to the relatively high population density, high rate of seasonal and permanent migrants, favorable conditions of natural and cultural, frequency of industrial units, coastal border and harbour and great rate of construction in the mazandaran province in recent years. Land cover changes are led to fragmentation, perforation, dissection, shirinkage, attrition an...

Rangeland ecosystems in arid and semiarid regions strongly were influenced by climatic factors and their kind of exploitation of management. These changes usually occur in combination and structure of vegetation over time. Because understanding the dynamics of pasture can choose the appropriate management practices and proper help, The changes of vegetation in desert ecosystem of Jajarm area, b...

Knowledge about long-term land cover/use changes is essential for evaluating and predicting their consequent problems by urban managers and policymakers. Remote sensing with landscape metrics is an effective tool for monitoring these changes in urban cores and their peripheral areas. During the recent decades, industrial and urban growth, and immigration of people into Isfahan metropolitan area...

Introduction: Population growth has increased the pressure on natural environment, and unsustainable exploitation and the land use changes have damaged ecosystems. Consequently the need for food and water has led humans to devote more land to cultivate and use it under his control. Indeed, remote sensing satellites are the most common source of data for identifying, quantifying and mapping for ...

the neogene intrusion masses in the noudeh-enghelab area located to the north of sabzevar ophiolite have cut the late cretaceous ophiolitic rocks, sedimentary- volcanic and eocene volcanic rocks and have been covered by pliocene and quaternary deposits. the margin is of lava with basalt, phyric andesite-basalt and andesite and the central parts (dome shaped) composed of phyric andesite-trachyan...

   Decline phenomenon is one of the most important reasons for the destruction and mortality of oak trees in Zagros forests due to the wide variety and diversity of the topography of its determination through track and field operations is not readily possible. Changes in an ecosystem are often gradual changes, but sometimes changes occur in an ecosystem in a short time. This change can cause a ...
