Plant species distribution, composition and diversity in deserts of arid and semi-arid areas, especially saltland; depend on soil physical and chemical gradients. The aim of this research was to investigate changes in the plant species diversity and richness along a soil salinity gradient in the margin rangelands of Petregan Playa. After vegetation zoning in relation to soil salinity, random-sy...

Biodiversity is one of the important concepts in ecology and vegetation management, and plays an important role in the health, production, and evaluation of ecosystems. Species diversity is a major part of biodiversity and one of the most important parameters of ecosystem changes. In this research, the data of the rangeland evaluation different climate zones of Isfahan province were used in fiv...
