Climate changes pose great threats to the main services of ecosystems such as food security, water security and health. This research was carried out in Haraz river basin rangelands, Mazandaran province in the north of Iran in 2015-2017 to analyze the perspectives of Haraz river basin (HRB) pastoralists about climate change. From 5236 local pastoralists, the sample size was consisted of 350 one...

The focus on small isolated populations provides important insights into the factors affecting the distribution of inheritable traits. Here, we present a report on the distribution of the CCR5 ∆32 mutation in the so far unstudied innate Sudanese population of Shagia people. The genetic material (buccal swabs) was collected from 125 individuals living in three African villages, Abu Haraz, Shibab...

According to the importance of Locals impact on conservation, this research had tried find role locals in protection natural resources and ecosystems, also clarify external laws which are affecting local's livelihood. This done Ab-e Ask village is located edge Lar National Park along Haraz River, one five protected rivers Iran, it used public participatory methods. Using “Problem Tree,” “Before...

Monthly samples of six fish farms from January 2010 to December 2010 in the northern Iran, Haraz River, were used to determine relationship between chemical parameters of main water, inlet and outlet and their effects on fish growth and production. Results revealed that concentration of nutrients in outlet was more than that of inlet of farms and statistical analysis showed that there were sig...

this paper explores the capabilities of multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithmin a simulation-optimization model for solving waste load allocation problems. the main goals are totaltreatment costs, violation of the water quality standards and equity. in this research, the water qualitysimulation model is coupled with a multi-objective optimization model, mopso. in order to derive...

in this study, age and growth for two populations of shemaya, chalcalburnus chalcoides, in haraz and shirud rivers were investigated from april to june 2006. 704 fish specimens were collected using a cast- net. the maximum length and weight in a 5- year old female observed were 251 mm and 96 gr, respectively. the most abundant age groups were 2+ and 3+ years for male and female respectively. wh...

introduction simulations of river flow and understanding different components of hydrologic cycle are important for programming of the conservation aspects of water resources. since the study area is located in the site of dam construction, the estimation of rainfall runoff and sediment yield are very important for better management of water resources. therefore, in this study, the swat model w...
