Uprooting trees and pit – mound micro topographies are due to creation of heterogeneity condition in soil ecosystem. Pay attention to mountainous condition of hyrcanian forests in Iran and presence of trees with high diameters (old trees), therefore, it is imagined that many of trees are prone to uprooting. Thus, the aim of this research is studying variability some of soil physico - chemical ...

The blue green algae as photosynthetic organisms have a main effect on life and productivity of the aquatic ecosystems. Intensive and longtime studies on identification, distribution, and diversity of Cyanophyta have to be a crucial task in the Caspian Sea. Four transects were determined parallel to the Sabzehrud River, the Lavij River, the Noor River, and the Faculty of Marine Sciences of Tarb...

Diversity is one of the most important issues in studies of vegetation ecology. This study was carried out in research forest of Tarbiat Modares University for surveying herbaceous and woody species diversity in relation to topographical factors (altitude, slope and aspect). For this purpose, 48 plots 400 m2 (20×20 m) were established in the region using selective sampling method. Then, the nam...

Despite of soil disturbance, transfer to the laboratory and preparation inside the plots which themselves lead to lower validity of the results, the experimental study on runoff and erosion at plot scale with many research advantages are inevitable. However, there has been less attention to evaluate the effects of soil preparation on runoff and sediment variables. The present study was therefor...

In order to study the effect of various amounts of nitrogen (N) and Iranian natural zeolite on the quantitative and qualitative forage yield of winter canola (Brassica napus L.) in light soil, a field experiment was conducted on research farm of Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, during 2006-2007. Treatments were arranged in the form of RCBD with 3 replications. The experimental treatments wer...
