Introduction:The prevalence of atopic diseases has increased in recent decades dramatically. The most common aeroallergens in Northeastern Iran have not been fully defined. Define the most common aeroallergens in allergic patients based on the skin prick test (SPT) was aimed in this investigation.Materials and Methods:This cross-sectional study enrolled 1,006 allergic patients (aged 1–86 years)...

Estimating urban trees growth, especially tree height is very important in urban landscape management. The aim of the study was to predict of tree height base on tree diameter. To achieve this goal, 921 trees from five species were measured in five areas of Mashhad city in 2014. The evaluated trees were ash tree (Fraxinus species), plane tree (Platanus hybrida), white mulberry (Morus alba), ail...

Forest types mapping, is one of the most necessary elements in the forest management and silviculture treatments. Traditional methods such as field surveys are almost time-consuming and cost-intensive. Improvements in remote sensing data sources and classification –estimation methods are preparing new opportunities for obtaining more accurate forest biophysical attributes maps. This research co...

Spreading wood ash on forest and agricultural lands has been used for years to correct pH in acid soils and as a source of plant nutrients. However, it is necessary to enhance the knowledge of potential hazards derived from such a practise. Surface runoff pollution is one of these possible hazards. In this work we studied the quality of runoff water collected in two sloped forest plots before a...

Airborne remote sensing data from different types of sensors are tested within the Bavarian Forest National Park for estimation of forest attributes using several analysis methodologies. In this study, one algorithm that earlier has been validated for Swedish conditions was applied. The algorithm estimates tree position, tree height, and crown diameter of individual trees. The Bavarian Forest N...

The relationship between a tree's crown radius and diameter at breast height (DBH) has a variety of uses including forest competition studies, tree crown densities, spacing and stoclung relationships, wildlife habitat suitability models, and tree volume estimations. Estimating DBH from mean crown radius (MCR) is of interest to natural resource managers because MCR can be estimated from high res...

In Sweden, bioenergy use is promoted under the light of climate change mitigation and energy security. In 2009 31% of Sweden’s total energy supply was provided by bioenergy. Almost have of this energy is generated from forest biomass. Forestry has a long tradition in Sweden and sustainable resource management is advanced. However, the increased extraction of forest biomass results in export of ...

mastic (chatlanqosh or turpentine) is a valuable tree species in most parts of the country, particularly around the southern slopes of the alborz and zagros mountain range distributed. wild mastic tree is mainly due to the adaptability and hard rocky ground tree and needless to excessive irrigation, it doesn't usually crop. it is the mountain range of the plant, giving it less water. the soil a...

Since its first identification in Poland in 2006, the ascomycete Hymenoscyphus fraxineus has caused massive dieback of Fraxinus excelsior in the countries of eastern, northern and central Europe. This work shows the development, expansion, and severity of the disease in south-eastern Germany for a period of four years, starting in 2010. Differences between habitats, as well as age classes have ...
