plants cover composition, condition, trend, production, and grazing capacity of the rangeland change annually. in this research, the role of temporal rainfall distribution on rangeland production was assessed. this research had down in the rangelands of ilam (with semiarid to semi humid climate) and qom and markazi (with arid to semiarid climate) provinces. by attention on plant cover maps in e...

Studies on vegetation changes of rangelands under grazed and non-grazedconditions are of great importance in the range management planning programs. To determinethe change process of vegetation, this study was performed in Inche Shorezar site of Golestanprovince for nine years (1997-2005). The vegetation parameters were measured every year inseveral fixed plots inside and adjacent of exclosures...

the purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between vegetation cover and soil characteristics in order to determine the most important soil factors which affect on quantitative variations and types of vegetation cover in the study area. the study area is located in west of tehran province and southeast of hashtgerd, next to najm-abad village. after field studies, the index ...

in order to investigate genetic correlation and path analysis between grain yield and yield components, fifteen early maturing hybrids of grain corn (zea. mays) using a randomized complete block design with 4 replications were evaluated in khoramabad agricultural research center, iran. the data were collected and analyzed for ear emergence date, anthesis date, maturity date, plant height, ear h...

nowadays green house gases such as carbon have the most effect on global climate changes that can be decreased by plant and soil carbon sequestration of rangelands. livestock grazing has high potential to decrease or increase carbon storage. so this research investigated the effects of enclosure on plant carbon storage in rangeland of enclosure (shah tappeh-chah mahmood) and no enclosure (chiro...

In arid and semi-arid rangelands, grazing as one of the natural or human induced processes has direct and indirect effects on structure and dynamics of plant community and ecosystems. A study was done to analyze the effects of grazing on plant species diversity and Plant Functional Types‘ (PFTs) diversity of arid and semi-arid rangelands. We analyzed plant richness and diversity data from 75 sa...

study of soil and plant relationships is nessesery for ecological- based and appropriate management. the objective of this study is to determine the influence of edaphic properties on haloxylon persicum growth and also, indentifing growth limiting soil properties for saxaul. the study was performed through the stratified random sampling and 3 sites were selected as follow: planted strong saxaul...
