About 80 percent of Iran is arid and semi-arid and about 35 percent of this area is susceptible to desertification hazard. Therefore desertification assessment and identification of the most important criteria for the assessment of risk and a basis for development of management plans is essential. This research was conducted in the semi-arid region of Agh-Band in the Golestan province, Iran wit...

Drought is a major problem in the world and has become more severe recent decades, especially arid semi-arid regions. In this study, Google Earth Engine (GEE) app been implemented to monitor spatiotemporal drought conditions over different climatic The allows every user perform analysis region for period of their choice, benefiting from huge GEE dataset free open data as well its fast cloud-bas...

Arid and semi-arid areas occupy one third of the total area of the world. This vast region is rich in natural resources. In recent times, desertification has become a world-wide phenomenon, due to human activities. China also suffers from this problem. Desertification is especially severe in the southeastern part of the arid and semi-arid region of the country. In this paper, the use of remote ...

Classifying remote sensing imageries to obtain reliable and accurate LandUse/Cover (LUC) information still remains a challenge that depends on many factors suchas complexity of landscape especially in arid region. The aim of this paper is to extractreliable LUC information from Land sat imageries of the Pishkouh watershed of centralarid region, Iran. The classical Maximum Likelihood Classifier ...

a field study was conducted to evaluate the possibility of using water table control techniques in the semi arid region of iran with special attention to its salinity management. the wtm consisted of three subirrigation treatments with water table controls set at 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 m from the soil surface and a free drainage (fd) treatment. the electrical conductivity (ec) of water was 1.5 ds/m. ...
