Many semiarid rangelands in the Great Basin, U.S.A., are shifting dominance to woody species as a consequence of land degradation including intense livestock grazing and fire suppression. Whereas past rehabilitation efforts in Big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) steppes removed the shrub and added introduced forage grasses to successfully shift communities from shrublands to grasslands, curren...

Climate changes and global warming are considered as very important challenges of sustainable development. Carbon sequestration is the easiest and cheapest way to reduce the greenhouse gases, especially carbon which constitutes the largest portion of them. In the present study, the potential of carbon sequestration in four plant species of Atriplex canescens, Haloxylon persicum, Artemisia siebe...

Considering forage grass species, germination is one of the important stagesconcerning the growing stage that is often influenced by environmental stresses,particularly salinity and drought stresses. Thus, this study aims to assess the effects ofsalinity and drought stresses on germination characteristics and seedling growth of desertwheatgrass, Agropyron desertorum (Fisch. ex Link) Schult. in ...

Genetic variations within the species of Agropyron desertorum and 2 varieties of A. cristatum subsp. pectinatum var. imbricatum and A. cristatum subsp. pectinatum var. pectinatum were studied using morphological traits and total protein profiles (with sodium dodecylsulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis). An experiment was conducted in Research Institute of Forests and Rangelands (2012-201...
