Plants of the family Anacardiaceae have a long history of use by various peoples for medicinal and other purposes. Cotinus coggygria, also known as the “smoke tree”, is one of the two species constituting a small genus of the family Anacardiaceae, viz., C. coggygria Scop. (syn.: Rhus cotinus L.) The Iranian smoke tree, plant material air-dried C. coggygria we...

This research was conducted in order to study the effects of iron fertilization on yield and chemical composition of date palm var. 'Piarom', on 54 trees in Haji-Abad research station of Hormozgan Province. Trees were 12 years old and research treatments were consisted of: 1-Control treatment 2- Soil surface application of Fe in two levels 3-Application of Fe as localized placement method (Chal...

[1] Mineral weathering and chemical denudation of terrestrial environments are understood by both geochemists and ecologists to be affected by rooted plant growth. We used unique 20-year ‘‘sandbox’’ experiments to test the predictions of both disciplines regarding the influence of tree growth and harvest on chemical weathering and denudation of Ca, Mg and K. Results showed 3 temporal phases: 1)...

soil texture is an important soil physical property that governs most physical, chemical, biological, and hydrological processes in soils. detailed information on soil texture variability is crucial for proper crop and land management and environmental studies. therefore, at present research, 103 soil profiles were dogged and then sampled in order to prepare digital map of soil texture in bijar...

the classification and regression trees (cart) possess the advantage of being able to handlelarge data sets and yield readily interpretable models. in spite to these advantages, they are alsorecognized as highly unstable classifiers with respect to minor perturbations in the training data.in the other words methods present high variance. fuzzy logic brings in an improvement in theseaspects due ...
