Several studies have been performed to evaluate the desertification in Iran andother countries which led to present national and regional models. One of them is IMDPAmodel. This model was used as a case study in Taraz Nahid, Saveh, Iran. In this study, fivefactors including climate, soil, vegetation, irrigation, and socioeconomic ones wereevaluated. According to the region conditions for each c...
